<TITLE>21. Par 76-79</TITLE>L-76 Bless these ministers that's--is sitting back here on this platform. And no doubt they make up many different churches. And bless the pastor of this church. Bless its deacons, its trustees. Bless all the laity everywhere. And throughout this valley and this prairie, send a revival in every church. Send a revival to the Anglicans and to the Presbyterians, and to the Pentecostals, and to all, Lord, that there might be a great visitation of God's Holy Spirit here in Grande Prairie, that news would scatter throughout the provinces, and across the nations, and dominions, that Jesus still lives.
We long to see Him, Lord. And as our brother has well stated it this morning, when he said, coming up, he'd done... following sign posts, looking at the sign, which way to come to Grande Prairie. It wasn't the sign that brought him here; it was the sign that pointed him to here. So may they realize today, as I've quoted the Scriptures, "We would see Jesus," may every person here be able to see You, Lord, in the power of Your resurrection, living among us.

L-77 And when we leave this afternoon, as I've quoted before, may we go home like those from Emmaus. They walked with You all day. You talked to them, expounded the Scriptures, but they didn't recognize it was You. Then that evening when You made as You would go on by, and they--they constrained You that You should come in and abide with them... O God, may the disciples today, like Cleopas, constrain You to come and abide with us, Lord. And when You got in their little place of the little inn, and You shut the doors, and then You did something like You did before You were crucified, and their eyes were opened, for they knew that no one did it just like that.
Father, we are ministers, and clergymen, and messengers of the covenant, but we can't do it that way, Lord. We can't do the things that You did, but You can come and fulfill Your Word that--that the works that You did, we would do also. Then come, Lord Jesus, and do the things like You did it before You were crucified, that this Christian, God-fearing people might have the assurance that our Lord is not dead, but He has arisen again. And may, like Cleopas and his friend, go from house to house saying, "Indeed, the Lord has risen." Light-footed and lighthearted, not to argue their religion, but to say, "The Lord is risen."... Grant it, Father.

L-78 We commit ourselves, our bodies, our spirits; and all that's in us, we commit to You now, and waiting to hear just one word from You, and it'll be sufficient, Father. If You'll just prove that You're living here among them, then they will believe You, Lord. These honest hearted prairie people, they'll believe You. And then they'll go home; they won't have to say, "Brother Branham did such and such," because they know I could not; but they'll say, "My Lord is alive, and I love Him. And I'll worship Him, and I'll attend His church. And I'll--I--I'll do my duty as a Christian; I'll testify; I'll believe Him all the days of my life." That's the purpose that we ask it, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-79 Do you love Him? All you Methodists love Him? Baptists, Presbyterian, Pentecostals, all love Him? Let's sing just one little verse. I like to worship Him after chopping into the Word and so forth. Let's just worship Him in a song with that good old hymn of the church, "I Love Him." How many knows it? "I love Him, because..." Let's sing it.
And let's let... Don't notice who's setting by you; don't try to have... Anything I do not like, is an over-trained voice, holding their voice until their face is blue. They're not singing; they're just hollering. But I do love good old fashion, heartfelt singing, where you might not be able to carry a tune in a bucket, but yet, you're singing from your heart. Now, you say, "Well, I'm not a singer." That doesn't matter. Make a joyful noise, then, unto the Lord. The Scripture says so.
 I love Him, I love Him
 Because He first loved me
 And purchased my salvation
 On Calvary's tree.
