L-1 Thank you, very much. Let's remain standing just a moment if you will, while we go to God in prayer. As we bow our heads now before Him, I wonder if there's any special requests we'd like to be known to God by an uplifted hand, and you raise your hand in your heart, say, "God, remember me on certain..."
Our heavenly Father, it's a grand privilege tonight to come and say "Father" to the Creator of heavens and earth, knowing that He's concerned about us so much that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish, but have Eternal Life. We're so thankful tonight that we have believed, and have received Eternal Life by our faith in Him.

L-2 Now, we have many requests among us tonight, Father. You seen every hand. You know every reason behind that hand being raised. Answer, Father. I lay my prayer with theirs upon the altar, my faith with theirs, and ask that the merciful God will grant the requests, as we plead over the bloody Sacrifice, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Now, bless the message tonight, and bless the people who are here to receive it. Bless the ones that give it. And may the Holy Spirit have the right of way in every heart. May we leave here tonight, happy and rejoicing, and saying, "Did not our hearts burn within us as we met in His Presence again?" For we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen. May be seated.

L-3 Very happy indeed again tonight to be here, and after last evening, and a glorious time with the Lord. Had such a wonderful fellowship last night around the Word of God. I was having breakfast this morning with someone, and we were talking about it. Immediately I met another person, and someone had been in the meetings, and they said, "Brother Branham, I was in your former meetings when you first started about fifteen years ago over here on the west coast. It was down here at Santa--Santa Rosa, I believe, is the place. Santa Rosa? And one night there, there was a gentleman trying to get in the prayer line, and a minister was with me then, that takes--has... Billy has--has took his place. He--he would give out prayer cards, and keep the lines straight. And oh, my. People would drive a thousand miles in a taxicab just to get to the meeting.

L-4 And he kept wanting... Mr. Brown had put him out of the prayer line two or three times. He didn't have a prayer card...?... I heard him say, "Well, I only wanted to speak to him."
So I said, "What is it, sir?"
He said, "I just wanted to know how you spell your last name."
And I said, "B-r-a-n-h-a-m."
And he said, "That's it, mother," and walked over and set down.
And I thought, "Well, now, that's strange. Why would he ask a thing like that?" I said, "May I ask..."
He said, "Well, sir, about twenty-five years ago, when--when Pentecost actually first come to the west coast," he said, "wife and I received a gift of the Spirit." One of them would speak with tongues and the other would give the interpretation and give prophesies. And they wrote it down.
