<TITLE>22. Par 96-100</TITLE>L-96 She said, "Yes, sir." She said, "Sir, I'm looking towards home when the sun is setting." She said, "Across, beyond that sun yonder is my homeland." And she said, "In that land there is a certain state. And in that certain state there's a certain city. And in that certain city is a certain house. And in that house is a certain boy."
She said, "He too, is an artist. When I left to come over here, I pledged my love to him. We're engaged to one another." And she said, "No matter what any of the rest of them does, that has nothing to do with me." She said, "I promised to live true and right." And she said, "I'm longing for the day, that when I feel myself on the top of the wings of that big plane that'll take me across the sea and set me down at the airport where he will meet me. He's building a home, and we'll live together in that land."
And said, "That's the reason I act the way I do. I'm true to the promise that I made a boy. And he's true to the promise that he makes to me." Said, "I hear from him now and then, and I write to him." And said, "Corresponding with one another, we're still holding our vows, waiting for the day we meet."

L-97 Oh, how that would do for a real Christian to get away from the things of the world. And someday you talk about coming into the port on the wings of a dove; He's coming for a bride, one that don't fool with the world or the things of the world. She's washed in the Blood of the Lamb. She's pledged her--her love to Him only. The love of the world is gone and dead to her. The marriage of the Lamb has come, and His bride has made herself ready.

L-98 Let's think of it while we bow our heads just a moment. Someday, as I look towards the setting of the sun, I too, thirty-one years ago, made a pledge to One that I loved, all my love to Him. I've always tried to hold up for Him and His Word wherever I go. And I know there's many others setting in here like that, waiting for the day that when the old ship of Zion shall come into the port, take up our souls, and take us in the Presence of Him Who we love, and have pledged our love to.

L-99 There may be some in here tonight, who's never made that pledge. There may be some that's made it and broke it. If you're in that condition tonight, friends, why don't you just come back tonight and renew your pledge? If you haven't make it, why don't you come and make it tonight? Say, "Lord Jesus, I love You."
Remember, if you have already made your pledge and still mingling with the things of the world, Jesus will not have a bride like that. He will not have one that's adulterous. All your love must be to Him. And if you love the things of the world, and the fashions of this world better than you love God, then you have not made yourself ready.

L-100 Is that person in here tonight? while we have our heads bowed, would raise up your hand, say, "Brother Branham, pray for me. I do want to be that way. I--I want to be part of the bride. And I know I'm doing things that I shouldn't do. Pray for me."? God bless you, my Indian sister. God bless you, sister, and you, my brother, and you, brother. Anyone else, raise up your hand, say, "Pray for me, Brother Branham. I--I know I'm not right. "
Now, be honest with yourself. Look back at your life. You have to look back before you can go forward. Look what you have been. Look what the spirit that you've got has made you do. If you haven't had... If you proclaim to be a Christian, and still you still mingle with the things of the world, brother, sister, how can you but be blind if you don't see that you're wrong?
