<TITLE>37. Par 296-301</TITLE>L-296 "When will it be, Brother Branham?" I don't know. Maybe today; it may be tomorrow. If it isn't today, I'll be looking for it tomorrow. And it may be this year, next year, ten years. Maybe thirty years, I don't know when it'll be, but I say from now on, you be prepared every minute.
And don't take just something ordinarily. Don't do that. Don't you rest day or night until you've talked to God. Keep yourself from fanaticism. Don't get worked up in emotion. Don't do that. That's what brings so much radical stuff and makes people afraid of it (See?), is because of the radical fanaticism. Don't you accept that; not at all. You stay right there till you talk to God. After all, it's your soul, and you're the one's going to spend eternity out yonder. And you be sure that you just don't shake hands, and say a creed, or--or accept something by faith. Don't you do that. You talk to God; let God talk to you; and watch what happens to you. Watch your desires and what happens; then you'll know whether you talked to God or not.

L-298 To you who have believed on Him this morning. To you that... I--I said about altar calls. Do you know how they did it in the Bible? As many as believed on the Lord--as many as believed on the Lord was baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of their sins. If you've never... We never had altar calls. They never had people come up. When you do that you get everything. Here's a guy come up to the altar arrogant looking and kneel down because somebody tried to get him. You--you--you have twice that hard to ever get him again. See? And what do you do? You get everything in it. And Jesus said, "All the Father's give to Me will come to Me." Stay with that Word. God will do the rest of it. That's right. God will do the rest of it.

L-299 God bless you. I hope to see you again tonight. I hope each one of you that can... I know a lot of you have to stay out away. I'll be down tonight to hear my brother. If it be God's will. I don't want to take both of his messages.
Brother Neville is a sweet man of God, and I know--I know who... When I hear him preach, I know it's coming from--directly from his heart. I know that. And Brother Neville, as he said the other night with that comment, said, "I made a remark, 'Someday I'd baptize him in Jesus' Name.'" I did. Why? I saw the sincerity and honesty in him. I knowed if he--could ever be given to him and seen if he--he could really see it, his eyes would come open, he'd receive it. I waited and telling the church, "Don't you worry, that Methodist preacher will come all right." And here he is today, a pastor of the Tabernacle, just as solid in the work as he can be, in the Message. He believes God. And I know when I hear something come from Brother Neville, I know it's genuine, coming from God, 'cause he is that type of a man.

L-301 I've laid my hands upon... Your handkerchiefs here has been prayed over. Trusting each one of you has received a blessing from God, trust that God is on your heart...
We don't--we don't come here to--to get a blessing from God so much as we come here... Every day we breathe a breath we got a blessing from God. What we come here to do, is a correction, to cut off, to circumcise our hearts, and to get before God, and to believe God with all of our hearts.
Remember the Word of the Lord, and forget not, and fail not to look over a true sign sent from God. Amen. Now I'm going to turn the service to Brother Neville, let him say whatever he wishes to say.
