<TITLE>05. Par -</TITLE>L-7-3 Now, you're all invited. And I hope that you... God of the heavens will give you an opportunity to stay over if you can.
Now, before we approach the Word, I want to say this too, that I certainly thank this church, its members, for this fine suit of clothes that you bought me. Thank you very much. That's so much to me: all your cards and things through the--the--the Christmas seasons, and gifts that you sent to the family; and oh, I... They were innumerable to me, and little spots that cannot touch the spot in my heart. Nothing could do it like that, to know that it come from you.
And so, some of them sent me some of their Christmas gifts in money, and some of them sent... Such as, one brother sent me a pocketbook and a--that he'd had made with my name on it; and a little pin that you look through, and it's got the Lord's Prayer in it; and oh, things like that. It just... We just treasure. Wife and I, and the children want to tell you thanks so much. 
It's so little, but I'll say this; this is the greatest word I think that anyone could say: "God bless you." There's nothing could be any greater.

L-7-6 Now, and to these brethren here at the church who bought me that rifle; I--I wore my suit, but I--I couldn't bring the rifle to church. But it was... They really would have something against me then, wouldn't they? So I--I--I certainly thank you, my brethren. And I was going to read their names on a little... But one of the brethren was up yesterday; said, "Oh, don't... don't--don't thank me, Brother Branham; it would just take all the joy out of it." See?
So I thought, "Maybe the rest of them might think the same thing." But I got your name; they typed it out. I'll always remember it, and the Lord bless you greatly.
And you know what I relax at, and just go in that den room, and set there, and live all over. When I get so wound up I can't go no farther, then think about some hunting trip I took somewhere, or somewhere went fishing. I appreciate that. God bless you.

L-8-3 Now, can we bow our heads just a moment as we approach the Word... I'm sure there's requests in here this morning too numerable to numerate just now, so I wonder, while we have our heads bowed, your special request, if you'd just keep it on your heart, and just raise up your hands, and say, "God, you know what I'm thinking of now."

L-8-4 Lord Jesus, You see every hand; and You know what's behind that. Down beneath that hand lays a request. And we are coming now, reverently up to the throne of the living God, that great white pearl that stretches across the space of time, where Jehovah God sets in there, and the Blood of Christ laying upon the altar. And we speak across that Blood by Him that said, "Ask the Father anything in My Name; it'll be granted." Won't You hear, God, this morning and answer their requests? I lay my prayer with theirs today that You'll grant it.
Here are handkerchiefs laying here, Lord, that sick and afflicted... And we're taught in the Bible that they took from St. Paul handkerchiefs and aprons; and they were placed upon the sick, and unclean spirits went out of them, and diseases departed. And Father, as we have known for a long time, and we surely know, that we're not St. Paul; but after all, we feel that it wasn't St. Paul; it was the Christ that was in him. And You are the same yesterday, today, and forever according to the Scriptures.
