<TITLE>18. Par 133-137</TITLE>L-133 Now, just a moment of silent prayer for every one of us, pray for me while I pray for you. [Brother Branham pauses--Ed.]
Grant these requests, Almighty God. Forgive us of our trespasses as we forgive those that trespass against us. This we ask in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen.

L-134 These little parcels that is kosher bread made without lard, seasoning, and so forth, which represents the body of the Lord is not round; it's broke in all pieces. It's because that it means His broken body that was broke for us. And may God grant His blessings to everyone that eats it. Now, it is not the body; it only represents the body. I have no power, no one else does, to make it anything but bread. God alone. And that's what He told us, to eat this bread and drink this cup of wine. Now let us bow our head.

L-135 Most holy God, Whose servants we are, in the Name of Jesus Christ sanctify this bread for its intended use to make us, as we receive it, remember that our Lord was crucified; and His body, precious and holy as it was, was mingled with stripes and thorns and nails, for us, that through His riven body came forth the Spirit that gives us Eternal Life. May we, Lord, as we eat this, have journeying grace, as Israel did forty years in the wilderness, and not a feeble one among them. Father God, grant this, as we pray You sanctify this bread, kosher bread, for its intended use. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-136 The cup of the New Testament, the Blood... I think of that song, "Every since by faith I saw that stream Thy flowing wounds supply, redeeming love has been my theme, and shall be till I die." When I see this blood, grapes, the blood of grapes, I know it represents the Blood that came forth from the Lord Jesus' body. May ever who receives this have Eternal Life; may sickness depart out of their bodies; may weariness and feebleness, oppression, may the devil in every form leave them, that they might have great strength and health and Eternal Life, to let their light shine before this wicked and adulterous generation we live in to glorify God.

L-137 Heavenly Father, we present to You the fruit of the vine. In the Name of Jesus Christ sanctify it to represent the Blood of Thy Son Jesus, in It we have, "Wounded for our transgressions; with His stripes we were healed." Grant, Lord, that Life will come to us, Eternal Life in great abundance, that we might be able to serve You better, have strength and health to carry us from place to place where we expect to serve You, wherever You will call us. Grant these blessings in Jesus' Name, we pray. Amen.
