<TITLE>36. Par -</TITLE>L-796-268 Even His disciples, one time when they were in a storm, though when they saw Him, they were a little bit afraid of Him. They didn't know just exactly what it was. They said, "It's a spirit, and it cried out." But yet all hopes for being saved was gone, so they invited Him in. Yeah, they're always, whether you're a little suspicious or not. When all hopes is gone, you like to invite Him in. Yeah. They took Him in, because they had a need of Him. That's right.
You know, I've often wondered, sometime maybe that's why the storms come on. Did you ever think of that? He set up there and watched them till they had need of Him, and then He come on the scene. So we can see our need of Him now. We see that the storm is coming, brethren. Let's take sides with Him tonight, take sides with His Word. I--I'll have--I'll quit here.

L-797-270 Let's take sides with Him. Let's us, you and I, brethren, join up with Him tonight. The storm's a-coming. And don't wait till the little boat's sunk. Let's take Him into our little bark now. You might look off and say, "I can't understand all these things, Brother Branham."
See, if we say anything but what's in the Word. See if there's anything there but what He promised to do. It might look a little spooky to you sometime. You think, "Oh, my, I can't understand that." But there'll be a day when this life of yours is leaving. It--it won't look so bad to you then. When you know, yourself, you got to turn back to the God that created you, you'll want to take Him in then. Let's take Him in now, before the storm gets any worse than what it is.

L-797-272 I want Him to--into my heart. I want Him so much in my life till my whole being is saturated, that my mind, my thoughts, my everything that I am, is governed and controlled by Christ Jesus. I want to be so lost to--to myself that all I'll know and see is Jesus Christ. And if... I want to come before you all... If the God of heaven permits you to have these things that I've talked about, when I come among you, I want to know Christ and Him crucified. I--I want to know the glory and precious praises of God, set down among you and hear one minister get up and give the praise to God to what he'd seen done in his church, and another one what he saw done in his church, and another one what he saw done in his church. That's exactly what they did.

L-797-273 And when they come together and met in fellowship in Acts 4, they was giving account what God had did over here, and what God had did over here. And Peter and John had been whipped and--and--and made to promise that if they'd--what they'd do to them if they preached any more in Jesus' Name. And they'd gathered with their people, and they all prayed with one accord, and prayed in the will of God, and quoted the Scripture, "Why did the heathens rage and the people imagine a vain thing." And when they prayed, the Holy Ghost shook the place where they were assembled together. That's the kind of a meeting we need. That's what we got to have, brethren.
