<TITLE>25. Par 77-80</TITLE>L-77 While we have our heads bowed, there's no place to call an altar call here, but I just wonder if every one of you that raised your hand would just stand up to your feet. Rest of you keep your heads bowed. Just raise up to your feet just a minute. I believe you were sincere. Raise up, every one that raised--if they raised their hand, stand up just a minute, all that raised their hands, everywhere. That's right. Come up everywhere. Just remain standing just a moment for prayer. Every one that raised their hand stand up... All right. Is that all now? Every one? All right.
In the Presence of this Shekinah Glory of the Holy Spirit that you now have believed upon because of the preaching of the Word and the manifestation of His Spirit, I do not believe--I believe every one of you with all my heart. I do not believe that you just raised your hand just for the fun of raising it. I believe that you raised it because you was sincere. You believed that you were wrong. And if you're willing to confess your wrong and stand like you have now, then I believe that God in His Word, that keeps every Word that He promised, has forgive you of your sins. Not because that you feel like it, not because that you deserve it, but because that He promised it; it's in His Word. And you are willing and know that you're been wrong, but you do believe that He died, and them great black clouds hanging over the cross that day, He was standing your judgment. And without anything at all, you do accept that as your pardon. If you will do that, accept His grace for your pardon, would you just raise your hand to Him, every one standing up. Raise your hand, that's all I ask you to do, just in your heart. God bless you. There's a hundred percent, every one.

L-78 Now, I want you people that are Christians to raise your head and just turn around and shake hands with every one of them that's standing up and say, "Welcome into the Kingdom, precious pilgrim." Shake hands with a new Christian. Tell them that you--you're thankful to God. Each one of you, say, "Yeah, I'm thankful." Invite them to your church now. Tell them, "Come on over to my church. Come over with us. And you might receive Christian baptism, that you might receive the Holy Ghost." That's right. Oh, isn't He wonderful? Now, let us just thank the Lord now.

L-79 Heavenly Father, we thank Thee for these souls. I may never shake hands with them here on earth no more, never have the opportunity maybe, I hope I do. But if I don't, on that day when the fog is low, the old ship of Zion is blowing, when we start to board the ship, I'll meet them; I will see them there, Lord, with their tickets in their hand, say, "It was at Long Beach, Brother Branham, on that Sunday night." O God, how happy I'll be to know that I'll meet them there. The young will be old--the young will be... The old will be young there forever, and there'll never be no more sickness, and sorrows, or death. What a wonderful time it'll be. I thank You for this, Father. They are Yours and I present them to You as trophies of Jesus Christ, His Spirit and His Presence here tonight. I give them to You, Father, in the Name of Jesus Christ, because they are love gifts to Christ. Amen.

L-80 Now, you may be seated, and God bless you. Now, before we change the position of the meeting for a prayer line, let's just sing one time, will you all together, before we call the prayer line, "I love Him, I love Him, because He first loved me." All right, can we sing?
I love Him, I love Him
Because He first loved me
And purchased my salvation
On Calvary's tree.
Oh, doesn't that sound beautiful, brethren? I wish you could be up here and listen to that, isn't that beautiful? Now, I want you to bow your heads and sing it, softly and sweetly, in your tenor, or bass, wherever you're singing. Just sing it the old fashion country style now.
I love Him, I love Him
Because He first loved me
And purchased my salvation
On Calvary's tree.
