<TITLE>22. Par 98-101</TITLE>L-98 Let's bow our heads just a moment for prayer. Oh, church... How when I get through preaching like that, how I feel. The Spirit drops away from me, and I look back. I see people that would actually go down in their pocket and take food from their children to give it to me. I see little women in here, maybe with short hair. What would they do? They'd do anything in the world for me that they could. Man living with a wife like that, and me just cut him to pieces with that Word, hurting, his conscience is dropped down. And yet that man would go out there and slave and send me his tithes. That's right.
That makes me feel sick, got back to the flesh then. You see? What did--what I say? I don't mean to hurt. It's not that. But oh, brother, and my darling little sister and brother, if that be God's Word, and this be His Spirit making that Word come to life to you, what will it be at the day of the judgment? I'm trying to get you ready for that day.

L-99 Please, please just take His Word. If I ever preach anything that's not the Word, a promise of God, then you've got the right to come to me. But that's the Word.
And it's because I love you. Isn't because I--I don't want you in the boat; it's because the boat won't pack you through. You're going to crash up one of these days, and you got to come to judgment. Guilty of the least is guilty of the whole. And when you know that anything is right to do it, and it's the Word of God and the promise to do it, and then you don't do it, then what about it? You'll be asked to give a reason, what then? When this message this morning faces you yonder on the screen at the day of judgment, what about it?
Think of it, friends. You may die before the day is over. All of us may. And one thing sure, you're going to die.

L-100 I stood the other day watching my mother, me holding her on my arms. I held my dad a little before that and watched him go. I seen them come down at the end of the road, who thought they were really all right, say, "Oh, Brother Branham, oh, if I could only live a little longer": too late then. And remember, death doesn't change the soul; it only changes its dwelling place. And if you see that something within you... Be reasonable now. If you see that something within you is making you act that way and feel that way, like you ought not to feel, repent this morning, will you, friend? Come, be... You don't have to be like that. You're a miserable person. And live the true Royal Seed life. God wants you today.

L-101 Will you raise your hand and while your head's bowed and your hearts, say, "Brother Branham, I raise my hand to God. Honestly, from my heart, that's what I want to be. That's really what I want to be. I've--I've got messed up out here and everything else. But really, I--I don't want to be like that. I want to be what you've been talking about this morning. Pray for me, Brother Branham; I'm raising my hands to God, not to you, Brother Branham, but to God. And in my heart... He knows my heart; I long to be the kind of Christian you're talking about, a royal Seed of Abraham through Jesus Christ."
Raise your hands now and say, "I'll... Pray for me, Brother Branham." God bless you. God bless you. Surely He will do it for you.
