<TITLE>20. Par 85-89</TITLE>L-85 We need to come together and reason it out. What kind of a church was it at first? That's the kind of church... God is infinite and cannot change His mind. God makes a decision, He has to keep it. His first decision of a real Christian church happened on a Pentecostal experience. Now, that wasn't a Pentecostal organization; that was a Pentecostal experience, which can come to Methodist, Baptist, Catholic, Presbyterian, or whosoever will. That's an experience that comes.

L-86 Love, God's love. Love is the most powerful thing that there is in the world. It conquers anything, is love. By this you shall conquer, by love divine--loving one another, loving the cause of God, loving Christ, loving suffering humanity. That's how you conquer.
Yes, they had a conference, and they got orders, and they went forth, and they preached the Word of God with boldness.
Now, I'm going to speak of one more conference just for a moment. You might have missed the Geneva conference. You might not have even heard the returns on the radio. You might have missed the Gethsemane, which you did. You might have missed the Red Sea. You did. You might have missed all these conferences, but here's one that you're going to stand; that's the conference at judgment. You're all going to be there. Every one of us is going to stand at the judgment seat of Christ to give an account for what we've done with Christ and His Word.

L-87 There's going to be a conference, and you're going to be there. I don't care what you do with your life. You can commit suicide, be so guilty you have your body cremated and taken our upon the seas and blowed to the four winds. You'll be there anyhow, for every knee will bow and every tongue shall confess. There might have been a mighty conference, and many of them that you'd miss; but there's one you're going to attend.

L-88 And I'll tell you, every time you see a gray hair it means that you're going. Every time you hear a siren, you're... it's a conference you're going to meet. Death is meeting you in the face. Young or old, whoever you are, you're on your road. Every time you pass a graveyard, it speaks that you're coming to that conference. Every time you hear a sermon preached, a hymn sang, it means you're coming to that conference: and you're going to be there. And you're going to answer for what you've done with God's Word, and with God's Son, and with the Holy Spirit that He sent you. You're going to answer. You're going to be at that conference.

L-89 So if you're here tonight, friends, and have never had that conference with God... Some men's sins go before them, confessed; some follow. If yours, your unbelief, hasn't been confessed yet, won't you think of it while we pray, as we bow our heads?
In the reverence and solemnity of this moment I would ask a solemn question that all people will have to answer for. Be sincere, and let this be a searching time in your heart. What will you do after this conference?
This is a conference tonight, where we have gathered together here in this gymnasium to speak the Word of God in halls and so forth just like they did in the early days. The same Word of God has been preached. You're going to have to answer someday for it.
Are there those here tonight, or how many are they (I know there's a group), that would say this to me, "Brother Branham, I have never been born of the Spirit of God. I have never received God's Holy Spirit. And I know if I stand at that conference, after I been told so plainly by the Scripture, witnessed by the Holy Spirit, I'm going to have to give an account for my life at that day. I'm going to raise my hand to God and ask Him to be merciful to me, and I want a conference right now with God. I'd like to talk it over with Him right now."
