<TITLE>24. Par 74-77</TITLE>L-74 Now, with our heads bowed, and these who come to the altar, there's not a thing that you can do. You don't have to feel nothing. Jesus never did say, "Did you feel it?" He said, "Did you believe it?" Do you really believe now that in the sinful condition that you was, that you... Something convinced you that you were wrong. You come here upon the basis of the Word of God that promised you, if you would confess your sins, He was just to forgive them, and you now renounce your sins and accept Him as your personal Saviour, if you will, with your heads bowed, raise your hands. Every one of you at the altar, that stood here, now accept Him as personal Saviour... One hundred percent, everyone. Thanks be to God.
Now, I pronounce you Christians, believers, fellow citizens of the Kingdom, in the Name of Jesus Christ. I'm going to ask you to do something for me. I want you to... That little room there that says, "Prayer Room," I want you to make your way right around this side and go over there while I make another call. Go over there and be praying where we'll meet with you in just a few minutes. Go over there, and kneel down, and say, "Thank you, Lord Jesus, for saving my soul." I believe God right there will fill you with the Holy Ghost, right there in the room. Go right this way, as one of the brothers will lead you.
Now, while these are going over there and the instructors now for this--this affair, go with them. These people accepted Christ as their personal Saviour.

L-75 Now, to you who wants the baptism of the Holy Ghost, will you come forward at this time? Walk forward now while we sing one more time. Say, "Brother Branham, I've longed for the Holy Ghost for years, but I've never yet received it." Come up here. If you believe me to be His servant, if you believe I'm telling you the truth, come here and let me pray for you. Prayer changes things. It makes new creatures. If you're deadly sincere, come forward now while we sing.
On Jordan's stormy banks I stand
And cast a wishful eye,
To Canaan's fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lie.
I am bound for the promised land (All that hasn't got the Holy Ghost, I'm call you in Christ's Name; come forward.)
Oh, who will come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised land.

L-76 Are you sincere? Is this all in this building that doesn't have the baptism of the Holy Ghost? Brother, sister, how can you, under such pressure of the Holy Spirit, come to a place that you haven't got the Holy Ghost and won't stand for prayer? How can you expect healing when you won't even get your soul healed from unbelief to receive the Holy Ghost? How are you ever going to receive Divine healing for your body? Won't you come? You're invited. Brethren, sisters, fellow citizens that's already accepted Christ as your Saviour, are you wanting the baptism of the Holy Ghost?
All right. I want some of you people who's good people, who has the Holy Ghost, come here and lay hands on these people while we pray for them. Come forward now. Lay your hands upon someone. Back there who has the Holy Spirit, some of you ministering brothers, come up here, lay hands upon these people as representations. God bless you, Brother Gene. Come right ahead, come right ahead, brethren. Come right over and lay hands upon these people while we pray. That's good. Come on, Brother Fred; that's good. Come right ahead. Hallelujah.

L-77 Our heavenly Father, these people are seeking for the baptism of the Holy Ghost. They're tired of these grapes. They want milk, honey. They want to go to the promised land. I pray Thee, Lord, with all my heart, as men have hands laid upon one another that in the Name of Jesus Christ, that You'll give them the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Grant it, Lord. The prayer of faith will do this; we know. We present them to you in Jesus' Name for the glory of God. Amen.
