<TITLE>23. Par 83-85</TITLE>L-83 Now, smoking, drinking, committing adultery, cursing, that's not sin. There's only one sin. That's unbelief. You do those things because you are a unbeliever. If you was a believer, you wouldn't do those things.
There's only two things: one of them is faith, and the other one's unbelief. One of them possess you. And if you're a little doubt about the Word of God, every Word of It being true, then you're an unbeliever. The Holy Spirit doesn't dwell in you. If you dispute one Word of God's promise or question it, there's something wrong. Would you raise your hand, say, "Be merciful to me, God?" Let no one look. Just let the Holy Spirit. God bless you, sir. God bless you, ma'am. God bless you, my sister. All right. This center row here to my left. That's one, two, three, four there.

L-84 The row... Center row to my right, would you raise your hand, say, "God, be merciful to me. I want to believe." God bless you back there, my brother. You might've done many great things in life, but that's the greatest you ever did. A little boy about twelve years old raised his hand. God bless you, sonny. The Bible says, "A child shall lead them." He hasn't pulled his little soul through old "True Story" magazines, and things, and what's called true stories. There's only one true story that I know, which is that's the Bible.
People... little kids today know more about David Crockett than they do about Jesus Christ. Every ten cent store has got all kinds of cowboy stuff? And there's what the little children of America swallow it up.

L-85 To the row to my right, would there be some there raise your hand, say, "God, be merciful to me. I'm not raising my hand to Brother Branham; I'm raising my hand to Jesus Christ. You're the one searching my heart...?... right now."...?... Would there another, raise their hand say, "God, be merciful to me. I don't want to...?... God bless you, back there. God sees you. God be merciful.
Now, in the balcony to my right, is there any in there around this rows in here would raise your hand, say, "God, be merciful to me." Raise your hands.
Through the balconies to my center here, some in there would raise your hand, say, "God, be merciful to me." I can't see too good up there. I seen the Angel of the Lord in there last night, but I couldn't call it. It moved right down. Somebody struck something and went down. Raise your hand. He will see you, whether I do or not. He will see you.
Have you really got that much courage? Is there that much real something about you, man or lady, that would raise your hand, and confess that you're wrong, and ask for mercy? Raise your hand. To the left then, in the balcony to the left. God bless you. God bless you, sir. That's a wonderful thing. God bless you, ma'am. That's good. God, be merciful.
