<TITLE>17. Par 67-67</TITLE>L-67 And when they took him in before the council and forbid them to preach in the Name of Jesus. "And they perceived that they were ignorant," the Bible said. These apostles, John and Peter, were "ignorant and unlearned man." They didn't know any great theology. They were fisherman, couldn't sign their name. But said, "They had to take notice to them, that they had been with Jesus."
What were they? Billboards, billboards. Oh, we could go on. God help us to be billboards. May this Branham Tabernacle here, this little place consecrated and dedicated to God, may it produce little billboards across this country here that'll cause this whole hungering and thirsting nation to come to Christ, would be my prayer. Let's bow our heads just a minute.
Most gracious Father, we are indeed a privileged people to have Christ in our lives and in our hearts. We are so grateful for Him, our Father. We know that to know Him is Life. Not to know the creed, not to know the book, but to know Christ is Life. And, Father God, we who have found Him that way, our Saviour, our Healer, our strength, our help; our help cometh from the Lord. We profess that we are nothing; we know nothing. There's only one thing that we know or desire to know is Christ in the power of His resurrection. For everyone that believes It has Eternal Life.
And we pray, heavenly Father, that You'll bless this little church and these people that's here on this hot night, on this Sabbath evening here, sitting in this little wooden Tabernacle, waiting for the blessings of God. The few mixed up and broken up words that's been given, hungering, and has traveled to the billboards.
God, make us so hungry and thirsty that we'll walk through Your billboard, seeing a Christian life. May we be billboards for You. May You reflect Your Life to a hungry soul that they might hunger when they see the billboard that we are advertising. Christ, our Sponsor, has given us a peaceful life of full joy and strength in our soul, and to live a life so that people would want to be like Him. Grant it, Lord. Give it to all of us.
And may there be some here who has not yet found, but tonight they have been studying, and looking on down through life's journey to the different old sainted people, those old mothers of days gone by, that man that they laughed at on the street corner and thought he was out of his mind, standing out there preaching. But now they see that that man was a billboard. He was a sign that was pointing. That old sanctified mother that went down the street with her hair twisted on the back [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] and yet, we young people might have laughed at them and thought, "What kind of an antique is that?" But we realize, Lord, that was a billboard to Eternal Life. We passed it by Father. We're sorry. We're sorry. Let us go back and retract that tonight, Father. Make us like that. Give us Life. We want to look like saints before You. We want to act like it.
That man that we spoke evil to, that man that we fussed at, he never said a word back but was very sweet. He said, "That's all right, son. The Lord bless you..."
