<TITLE>25. Par 110-113</TITLE>L-110 That's grieving the Holy Spirit the last time. Think of it. Let's go home on the wings of a dove. Let's be the bride. Raise up from your seat now. If you're wrong, come up here, stand here at the altar and say, "I've been wrong. Brother Branham, I got a temper. I--I--I've lived ungodly. I--I shouldn't do these things that I do. Brother Branham, I've did this, that, or the other. I'm guilty of lying. I'm guilty of stealing. I'm guilty of something. I haven't served God the way I should, and I'm ashamed of myself, and I want my life made right. Won't you pray for me here tonight, Brother Branham?" I'll be glad to do it.

L-111 If God will answer my prayers to hear for the sick, blind, and afflicted, He will certainly hear a prayer for the sinner. Won't you come and be part of the bride tonight? I invite you to come. Thank you, my brother. I admire that kind of a courage, that'll walk out and admit you're wrong. God bless you, brother. Stand right here.
You mean to tell me you could raise up your hand and not be sincere about it? What's happened to the people? Brother, what's the matter? What's the matter with our people in this day? You mean you'd raise up your hand that you was wrong and then won't come? And know "He that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to Him it's evil"? Won't you come? while the pianist or, if you will, sister, organist, just a little music.

L-112 I'm inviting you. I want to ask you. How many in this audience has been in the meetings when... You know I'm not a preacher. I have no education. God bless you, little lady. That takes a real girl to do that. This little flower coming here, bless you, my sister. That's real courage. I admire that little lady. God bless you, honey. I got a little girl at home about your-all's age, little Rebekah. I appreciate you. Little Indian girl? God bless you, my sister, little princess. God be with you, sweetheart. You little sisters, God be with you, and with you, sister.
Now, looky here. If young ladies like that, little girls, tender in conscience, and preach a sermon that cuts them to pieces... And here they come up here, knowing that they're wrong, stand up here before the audience to make a confession, surely, surely you older women... Won't you come? Move up here, and stand along here.
... would I seek Thy face;
Heal my wounded, broken spirit. (Let's sing it.)
Save me by thy grace.
Saviour, Saviour, hear...
Surely you're sincere enough to pray a humble prayer. "Call, Lord, try me, and see if there's anything wrong with me."
Do not pass me by.
God bless you, sister dear.

L-113 How many in this meeting has stood and seen in the audience women, men, and all come up when I was standing praying for the sick, and the Holy Spirit tell them things of their sins, and things, and know... How many of you knows that's true? Never failing. The Holy Spirit's telling me, that same Holy Spirit, that there's something in here tonight grieving Him. Now, that's THUS SAITH THE LORD. Now, meet it here or there.
I'm not a person given over to emotions. No, sir. I know exactly where I'm standing, and I--I know God. That's right. There's many of you need to be standing right here where these young girls are. Now, won't you come? I'm inviting you. I won't persuade. I'm just telling you.
Somebody said, "I never heard an altar call where a minister rebuked the audience and things like that." That's the way it's supposed to be done. You don't come up on some heartbroken story of some mother dying or something like that. That's under emotion. The Word of God's what you come on. You don't come for--under any emotion, you come believing that God is God, and you're in the judgment house of the Lord, and you've come pleading your case.
