<TITLE>05. Par 15-19</TITLE>L-15 And I looked up there, and my--my book was open. Now, that's a vision, just like I see here in the building, only these are just ones that you 'cause. That was one God gave. And I noticed that there was my name on a book, and all kinds of sins was wrote against me on that book.
And I said, "Lord, did my sins make You suffer like that?" And He was crying; the tears was in his face, and--and he looked so weary, His poor drooped-down eyes. And I seen my sins had caused Him to suffer. I said, "Lord Jesus, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that my sins caused You to--to have to suffer for me. Will You forgive me? I promise that I--I'll be good, and I'll do everything I can, if You'll just forgive me."
And He touched his side with his hand. And He wrote across that book, "Pardoned," pushed it over his back in the sea of forgetfulness, to remember it no more against me. And I fell on my knees, and I said, "O Lord, I can never live long enough to express to You my gratefulness for You forgiving my sins."
He said, "Now, I freely forgive you of everything you done, and you want to destroy her."

L-16 That taught me a lesson. When the vision left me... Now watch that interpretation: "God was given for us." See it? Perfectly with the words that... Before I said it (And there's people setting in here from my church and things, that's heard me tell that story before, and know that that's true. That's exactly. See?) Show how perfect that Spirit of God, speaking there in unknown tongues and interpreting it, neither one of them knowing me no nothing...

L-17 [Someone speaks in tongues; another interprets:
"Yea, would I send My prophet weeping? Yea, would I send Him seeking, lest it was for thee? Yea, I say unto thee tonight, my people, it is I, God, that standeth before thee. Yea, would you not follow me? Yea, was I not the--the One that loved thee? Yea, was I not He that bore thine iniquities? Yea, was I not He that suffered? Yea, wilt thou let Me cry? Yea, wilt thou let me weep for thee? Yea, I say unto thee tonight, fear not, for I am standing. Yea, I am standing ready to receive. Wilt thou come? saith the Lord."--Ed.]

L-18 Praise the Lord. Listen to that. Just a moment. "How long will you halt between two opinions?"
You know what I did? Now, watch the story as it goes on. I walked out to the woman, standing out there. I said, "Father, forgive me." I walked out to her; I said, "Could I set down?"
She said, "Oh, hello." She said, "I--I got company."
I said, "Lady, I didn't mean it in that way." I said, "I would just like to set here just a moment, until your friends return." I see she was drinking.
And she said, "Very well." And I told her the story that was told me by the vision. She said, "I know who you are." She said, "You're that Mr. Branham that's down here in that armory building."
And I said, "Yes, ma'am, I am."
She said, "I passed by your meeting the other night. I couldn't get in." She said, "Mr. Branham, I'm beyond hopes." She said, "My father was a Methodist preacher. I got two daughters that's Methodist Sunday school teachers."
I said, "What happened?"
She told me the story. She said, "There's not a hope for me."
And I said, "Lady, if there isn't a hope for you, then why did God show me that vision?" And there with my hand in hers, I led her right out in the middle of the floor, and knelt down there, and had a prayer meeting, and led her back to God...?...

L-19 There might be somebody in here that night--tonight, in that condition. Grace of God, it's shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost. See?
I remember that meeting well, son. It reminds me of this: No matter what the person's done, love them, and that's what wins them.
