<TITLE>07. Par 58-61</TITLE>L-58 [Brother Ben Bryant says, "Brother Branham, excuse me just a minute, please?"--Ed.]
Yes, brother.
["I wasn't here last Sunday, and I had got wind of what you was speaking about a few months ago. And I was really disturbed about it, quite a bit, and I felt to come and tell you about it and tell Brother Neville. But I felt also that you'd knowed the wife and I made it a matter of prayer. And this morning when I came in the Tabernacle, I didn't know what had taken place, and one of the precious brothers came to me this morning and asked me to forgive him. And I think that was a fine thing."]
Amen.
["And I think it's very commendable of the brother."]
Yes, sir.
["He asked me to forgive him, 'cause he was trying to... he was--he was trying to bring the doctrine to me."]
Yeah.
["And I would not accept it. And he asked me to forgive him this morning, and I did forgive him in the Name of Jesus."]
Amen. Thank you, Brother Ben Bryant. Now, that's--that's exactly. I'm glad you said that, Brother Ben. You see, because that those men has been around everywhere making restitution. Now, that's real Christianity. That's Christianity at work. When they're wrong, go up and admit you're wrong. See? Stand up and say, "I'm wrong (See?); forgive me."

L-59 Now, a guy that tries to hide it back, then he's got something he's covering. No, sir, I like... Like the little doctor here that... See, can't speak... I won't tell it on him, but, anyhow, he had a little something he wanted to do, you know. And I said, "Oh, no, Doc, you can't bribe God." I said, "You have to lay it right out here on top the board." That's right, let it go right down like that. Of course, the man was perfectly innocent of trying to do anything wrong. He just--he just thought it would be a good way that he could get a piece of ground. It wasn't trying to do it evil; he was trying to do it right. But he just wanted to... he said, "I..." He knowed some way that he could go around and get somebody to do a certain thing that'd cause this fellow to be influenced over here. You don't do it that way. You just come right straight out. See? Stay right with the Word, and then you got it. Stay right with the Word. God blessed him and done a great thing for him. Yes, sir.

L-60 All right, let us bow our heads now for prayer. How many would like to be remembered in prayer? I know one lady setting here in a wheelchair would certainly like to be remembered, I trust. And this sister here, all, look all down through the place. Now, let's lay aside everything now and enter into worship. That's why we're here for, for about the next thirty-five, forty minutes, for worship.

L-61 Now, Lord, as we quieten ourself before You, feeling that our great Joshua, the Holy Spirit, our Divine Leader of this day... As Joshua quietened the people before Moses and said, "We're more than able to take the land," because he was looking, not at those Amalekites or Amorites, but he was looking at a Divine promise that had been given by God...
And in this day of turmoil and this condition that the world is in, and upon this beautiful sabbath morning, we quieten ourselves before You, and say amidst of all the impersonation, the carnal comparison, in the Presence of all the evil and the misled spirits, how we look to the Word of God and say, "We're more than conquerors." God said that He'd have a church that would be without spot or without a wrinkle in it, and we know that we will see that church someday. And we're striving as members, believing that we are members of this great borned again congregation of God and the church upon the face of the earth today, we solemnly approach God in the Name of the Lord Jesus.
And as we come humbly, we ask that You'll lay from our minds and our hearts all the things of the world, all the toils of life and the wearies, and that You, O God, will put us in the state of worship, that we might worship Thee through the hearing of Thy Word.
