<TITLE>17. Par 64-67</TITLE>L-64 Let us bow our heads just a moment now. God has a provided way, friend. It's marked out all along the road. It's narrow. "Broad is the way that leads to destruction; but narrow is the way that leads to Life, and there's just a few of them that'll find it."
Are you one here tonight that don't know that way, that don't know what it means to walk in the way of Life: you don't know Christ, you haven't been filled with the Spirit? I'm going to ask you, as His servant, with the sincerity of my heart: if you're here and don't know Him as your Saviour, will you raise up your hand and say, "Brother Branham (when you raise your hand, it'll testify for you), I want you to pray for me that I will walk in God's provided way."
You may be a member of a church. That don't mean one thing. Look, you say, "Well, I live a good, clean life." That still don't mean one thing to God. Who--who could be any cleaner, who could be any more holy speaking than those Pharisees was of that day? They were loyal man that we'd call God-fearing man. But Jesus said, "You are of your father the devil," because they didn't know their Messiah. If you don't know Him personally...

L-65 We send our children away to Bible school and colleges, and we learn them the Bible. What good does it do to know the Bible if you don't know the Author? The Bible doesn't say to know the Word. Satan knows the Word better than any student in the world. That don't make him saved. It's not by knowing the Word; it's knowing Him is Life: to know Him.
If you don't know Him, raise your hand, say, "Brother Branham, pray for me. I want to know Him. Sincerely, with all my heart, I want to know Him." Is there sinners here would raise up your hand and say, "Pray for me. I want to know Him. I want to walk in His way, God's provided way. I realize I've joined church, but if I was dying right now I'd be scared to death, I wouldn't be saved." God bless you. Is there another? "I want to know Him." God bless you, young lady. God bless you. God bless you, lady. That's good.

L-66 Brother Brent, God bless you, sir. I tell you, it takes a real man to admit he's wrong. When he's wrong, will admit it, I got plenty of hopes for that person. When a woman's wrong and will admit it, I got plenty of hopes for her. But when they're wrong and won't admit it... "He that hides his sin, or covers his sin, shall not prosper. He that confesses his sin shall have mercy." If you're wrong and know it, raise up your hand, say, "Pray for me, Brother Branham." God bless you, brother. Another, just before prayer? God bless you, lady. Yes, God bless you over here, and you, lady. God bless you. That's--that's real courage to do that.
Say, "Yes, Lord, I believe." I'm just watching for hands. He's watching too. Don't doubt; just believe. Just keep praying, watching the... Let it... Just think it all over now, if you were dying. Have you, sure you made up your mind, your decision's right?

L-67 Our heavenly Father, there's been some fifteen hands or more went up, best of my knowing. They are needy, Lord. They are willing to raise up their hands and say that, "I'm wrong. Pray for me."
Lord God, I'm going to quote Your Words to You. You said in the Gospel of Saint John the 5th chapter and the 24th verse, "He that heareth My Words, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath Everlasting Life, and shall not come into the judgment; but's passed from death unto Life." That was Your promise, Lord.
Now, they raised up their hand, showing that there was a Spirit around them, their spirit, telling them that they are wrong. And they raised their hand to the Maker that created them, to recognize to Him that they were wrong. Father, from the depths of their heart that that was said, they passed from death to Life. You promised it. You said, "He that will confess Me before men, him will I confess before My Father and the holy Angels."
