<TITLE>09. Par 34-37</TITLE>L-34 That's the way drunkards, and--and cigarette addicts, and--and immorals... It's all the power of Satan that has the people in the grip. And they can't break it. But there's One Who can break it. Uh-huh.
And I said, "Here in your heart, you are telling me that you'd love to be married and have a husband." I said, "You're a beautiful girl. You'd make a real sweetheart for some little tired preacher of God's."
She said, "I couldn't promise a preacher, no one else, nothing in this condition, Mr. Branham."
I said, "But I want to tell you something. Your sins may be as black and smutty as hell, but I know there is a fountain filled with Blood, drawn from Emmanuel's veins, where sinners plunged beneath the flood, lose all their guilty stains. It can make you as white as snow."
She said, "Oh, it seems like it could be just a myth, Mr. Branham." She said, "I want to be that."
And I said, "Will you pray with me?"
And she said, "Yes, sir."

L-35 So she turned around, knelt down by the chair where she was at, and I knelt the other side. I said, "Now, you pray." See, she could pray for herself. So I said, "You pray." And she prayed real sincerely. And I just held still, feeling if the Spirit went away from her.
But after a bit, she rose up, and she said, "Mr. Branham? I'm going to take your hand and make you a promise that from this day henceforth, I'll never smoke again; I'll never drink again, or I'll never play the part of a prostitute again."
I said, "I believe, my sister, you mean that, but it's not over yet. You've done that so many times, but it isn't over yet. There has to be something happen."
She said, "What do you mean, Mr. Branham?"
I said, "Kneel back down again. And just keep praying."

L-36 So I put my hand over on her shoulder, and I begin to pray and said, "Lord God, You made this woman this a way. She is a handsmaid, and she is Your--could be Your servant and could be a wife to some good man. She's a beautiful woman and You--You--You can help her, Lord. And--and the devil has bound her. I pray Thee, Lord God, make him to leave her."
She continued to pray. All of a sudden, she begin to change her notes in her prayer. In other words, she struck home run. Something happened. And she turned all of a sudden and looked at me, with those big staring eyes, like an angel then, and the tears running down her cheeks, she jumped to her feet and she said, "Sir, I've never felt this a way in all my life."
I said, "Now, it's over." Something...
That's been about six years ago or seven. She's married now and has two fine children. See? She was a prostitute until that time. That time when Christ took a hold. She was a good girl until the evil took a hold, from that time.

L-37 Many of you men in here can remember with me (I was just a boy at the time.) when the first World War closed in 1919, about some forty-one years ago, or forty--yes, about forty-one years ago, when the first World War... Do you remember the good intentions they had? They said, "We'll have no more war; this settles it. Send your boys on overseas, and we'll conquer the--this and there will be no more war."
But what happened? Another one come along. What did they... Between those times, they got what was called the League of Nations. They said, "Oh, we have achieved something. We've got a League of Nations. They will police the world." But we come right along to another war.
