<TITLE>19. Par 87-90</TITLE>L-87 I thought, "What is going on here? A church is a body of people. And this one says this way, this one says this way, and this way, and that way, and that way. Something's got to be wrong."
So I said, "I went right back to the Bible, mama, and read just exactly what that first church did. And the way they did it, that's the way I did it too and got the same results." I said, "Praise God. That's good enough for me."
As long as I got the same results, I see the same Jesus. I see the same God that worked in the Old Testament in the New Testament, down the Pre-Nicene Council. He worked in there until the coming of the Roman Catholic church that accepted dogmas instead of the Bible, went out through the dark ages, and come back through Luther, Wesley, and down here in the Laodicean church age.
And it shall be light in the evening time. God will pull out a church just as certain as I'm standing here. There'll be... And seeing the same Holy Ghost by the same promises doing the same works, and the same thing, blessed be the Name of the Lord.

L-88 The unchangeable God will give you the same Holy Ghost that He gave them there without a change. He will do the same things that He did when He was here on earth to any man or woman that'll believe it and accept it. If you've got the Holy Ghost, take a hold of it like Jacob did, and hold to it until positive results comes. Amen. Believe it, friends. And at a unexpected time, and maybe an unexpected place...
But if He will do it at an unexpected place, how much more should He do it tonight in an expected place, where we're expecting to see it happen? Let's bow our heads just a moment.

L-89 While your heads are bowed, and I trust that your hearts are bowed too... Excuse me for keeping you as long as I have: till nine o'clock. But I'd like to ask you this question: You know, we may never meet again. Daylight may never come in the morning for some of us. And if it would be so that we'd never see another break of day, would we meet again beyond the river? Would there... Have you the peace and the--in your heart, and the assurance (a Scriptural assurance as these people I've talked about tonight) that when you met God you had a Scriptural experience, God changed your life completely, and now you're not just the same person, just rebuilt polished over; but you are a new creature, a new creation in Christ?

L-90 If you're not that way... We have no standing at the altar, or room. But I'd like to ask your sincerity. If you would desire that I'd offer prayer for you here from the pulpit, knowing that someday I'll have to meet you again and meet my words that I said tonight, would you with--all with your heads bowed and eyes closed--would you just raise your hand and signify by that, "Pray for me, Brother, that I--I want to be that way."
God bless you, and bless you, bless you, young lady. God bless you. Outside, anywhere, put your hands against the windows, wherever it is. God will bless. Just raise up your hand in deep sincerity and say, "God, be merciful to me. I--I have always wanted to be that way, Brother Branham, but somehow another, I've just never been able to get that."
