<TITLE>03. Par 11-14</TITLE>L-11 After while, here he come, clipping along, you know. And he--he had a little bucket in his hand and a few little packages beneath his arm. And mother seen him coming. And here she went to meet him, you know. And she took some of the packages and patted him on the back, you know. And here they went two, little couple coming by. Oh, I just raised up my hands and wept. I thought, "Isn't that beautiful?"
And the next day we had a gastronomical jubilee, 'cause they had all the children come in and they had everything for dinner. And that was at twelve o'clock, you know. So we had a great dinner spread out there, and I wanted to talk to that little old couple so bad. And I--I don't think they could speak one word of English. And I couldn't speak one word of Norwegian.

L-12 So we couldn't get along making signs to one another. Someone come and interpreted for me. And I said, "You know, one of these days when I cross over the river, coming down the streets of glory, I expect to see a handsome Norwegian man and beautiful little Norwegian woman, young, never get old again. And I'll say, 'Do I not know you?' They say, 'Oh, yes, Brother Branham. You know me. We fed you wild goose one day at the table when we were down on the earth.'" And I hear that they have both gone to that heavenly home. God rest their precious souls in peace is my prayer.
Now, this morning we have given away, and the pastor is so nice to give us this little time of introduction, kind of to the service. And usually I don't preach over, when I go to preach, over six hours or something like that. I usually let out around about, after four to six hours of preaching, more or less. So they... But this morning we'll only take about thirty minutes of just introduction.

L-13 Then this... 'Cause you've got to go home, and eat, and come back again at two-thirty. How many people are expecting to be prayed for during this time of the meetings? Let's see your hands, around the building. All right.
Now, if you've got any people, remember it'll be real quick. We got to hurry in, hurry out. We're going on to Dawson. And so, you get them here this afternoon. Two-thirty is when the service starts? Oh, have them here by a quarter to, something like that. And my son back there will come give them prayer cards, anybody that wants them. And then we won't have, like an arena. Everybody will just come up when their numbers are called and we pray for them that way.

L-14 And now, if you got any neighbors that wants to be prayed for, you bring them out early this afternoon to get a prayer card.
Now, before we approach the Word, let's approach the Author of the Word by the way of prayer, while we bow our heads.
Gracious and holy God, we come into Thy Presence in the way of prayer in the Name of the Lord Jesus, God's precious and glorious Son. For we are taught in the Scriptures, that He said to us if we shall ask the Father anything in His Name, it would be granted.
Now, if we should come in the name of this lovely church, or in the name of the pastor, or in the name of the nation, it would do us no good. And we would--we would have no faith that our prayer would be answered. But when we come in that all-sufficient Name of the Lord Jesus, we have the assurance that God will grant us what we ask.
