<TITLE>20. Par 161-166</TITLE>L-161 The king turned on his heels and walked out, went out to the desk, and said, "Destroy all the records (You know, put them in the sea of forgetfulness.) Destroy all the records. Wash him up, and bring him up. I'll send down a robe for him."
After while, a great big limousine drove up to the door. When it did, a carpet was spread out to the prison cell. The king stood at the end of limousine, said, "Come, my son, and ride home with me to the palace," put the king's robe around his shoulder. He said, "From henceforth you are my son." Because he had pity. That's grace.
That was me, that was you. We killed the Son of God with our sins. We were alien, dirty, filthy, laying in the cells of the world. God washed us by the Blood of His Own Son, and cleansed us, put on the robe of the Holy Spirit. And now the great chariot of God will back up to the door someday, and we'll go home to live with Him. All records are destroyed; we can't be judged no more; burn them up, He put them in the sea of forgiveness and remembers about it no more. No wonder we can sing,
Amazing grace! how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now I'm found,
And was blind, but now I see.
It was grace that taught my heart to fear,
Grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!

L-164 Won't you let this be your hour right now, sinner friend, while we bow our heads just a moment for a word of prayer? Let this be the hour that you first believed, right now. Make up your mind and say, "Lord God, I'm guilty. I realize it takes grace to save me. I can't save myself. I'm lost. I'm done. I just can't do a thing. I--I'm--I'm totally helpless, hopeless, without God, without mercy, without Christ, in the world, alienated. Won't you have mercy and take me out of this cell of sin that I'm in today, O Lord, and be merciful to me, a sinner?" Will you raise your hand, say, "Lord God, I'm that person that needs Your grace"? Will you raise up your hand, say, "Pray for me, Brother Branham, I now will believe." God bless you back there, my brother.

L-165 Someone else say, "Brother Branham, remember me now, oh, brother, please do, in prayer." God bless you, lady. "Pray that..." God bless you, brother. God bless you, sister. God bless you, brother, over here at the window. God bless you, brother, back there. God bless you, brother, over here, the other one. "Remember me, Brother Branham." God bless my brother there, yes, the other one here. God bless you, sister. God bless you here, brother. He sees you. Now, really mean it. God bless you, young man. He sees; don't... God bless you, brother. God bless you, sister against the wall. God bless you down here, brother. God bless you, brother back against the wall.
Just as I am, without... (Would there be another? God bless you. I see your hand back there.)
But that Thy Blood was shed for me, (Yes, Lord. God bless you, sister.)
And that (God bless you, sister.) Thou bidst me come... (God bless you way back there in the...?...) Thee,
(Grace, grace) I... (God bless you, young lady.)... I come!
Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot,
To Thee, Whose Blood can cleanse each spot,
O Lamb of... (Grace, oh, grace) I come! I come!

L-166 Now, there's been around fifteen or twenty hands go up. Now, with your heads bowed, I'm going to ask you that raised your hands, quietly now just stand to your feet while I offer prayer for you. We haven't got room up here on the altar. It's just; I just want you to stand to your feet, everyone that raised their hand, wants to be prayed now. Stand up to your feet right now while I offer prayer. Just stand up on your feet, everywhere.
... shed for me,
And that (That's fine, God bless you...?...) me come to Thee,
O Lamb of God, I... 
Remember, there may be a day when grace won't abide any more, won't abound any more for you; it'll be too late. Now, it isn't too late.
