<TITLE>27. Par 359-369</TITLE>L-359 And if my time is up, Lord, let me depart in peace. Let me go, holding no man's blood on my hands, or no church, or no denominational creed, or nothing, but with the Blood of Jesus Christ. Grant it, Lord.

L-360   My denominational brethren out there, Lord, many of them, there is fine, some of the finest brothers I've ever met, in all of them, everywhere. And why do they do it, Lord? When, You'll turn right back around and vindicate that Word to be the Truth, and show that, the very sign that was supposed to happen in the last days, of the resurrection, that Christ is here. And it's not some man. That, it's the Holy Spirit Himself.

L-361 God, I rebuke the Devil. I rebuke the powers of fashion, and the powers of the world, that's blinding the eyes of Your Church, Lord. I pray that he'll be taken away from them, that they will turn full-hearted to You, and serve You all the days of their life.

L-362   Forgive us, O Lord. I stand like Isaiah that morning, who had saw the vision. He said, "I'm a man of unclean lips, and among unclean people with unclean lips." Lord, let the Angel come again. And let Him bring the Fire from the altar, and touch the lips of every one of us, Lord, that we speak only what is Truth, and what is Word, and what is right; that we might call this sinful day of--of Americanism and worldly-ism mixed, into the church, back to a repentance.

L-363 God, we prayed for that, for years. And when it's sent to us, it comes in a humble way. Like I said, they asked for a--a warrior, and they got a baby. But it's what You sent them, and they wouldn't receive It. God, let not the people make a mistake again, to see That. It's not some new creed, some new denomination, but back to the Word, back to God, the vindicated Word. Grant it, Father.

L-364   Bless our Brother Shakarian, feeling his spirit come in from behind me, know that he's weak, know that Satan is right after his life now. God, I claim his life, until You're through with this--this last day here. Help us. Let us pray this prayer of faith; his lovely little wife.

L-365 I pray for these businessmen, for these executives, and these--these ministers. O God, please, I pray in Jesus' Name! Help me, God. Help me. I don't know what else to say. My heart burns. My soul is yearning. Let them come, Lord, sweetly, not to something that I said, but let them come back to the Word, Lord, and see, and stay there till they see it's happening. Grant it.

L-366 And, Father, I spread forth the Seed. I know, when It falls in that predestinated ground, It'll light up and shine, glowing for the Glory of God. Help us, Father. We commit this to You now, in the Name of the Lord Jesus.

L-367   While we have our heads bowed, would there be some here this morning, would say, "Brother Branham, truly in my heart I believe that's right, and I--I want to return. I--I want an investment this morning. Not--not no more in... I'll stay in my church"?

L-368 Don't leave your church. No, sir. You stay right in your church, wherever you're at, and love your pastor, and love all the members, and everything else. Love that. But, oh, stay in there, not to shine with some worldly thing, not to set something different, but glow with the Glory of God, in humility, to be willing to take the reproach if they call you old fashion. And you're...

L-369   In a great church, the other day, one of the highest denominations of Pentecost; a man, a minister, got up. And a lady had long hair, and it twisted on the back. Said, "Your balloon ought to be deflated." Said, "You're different from the rest of them." That poor, backslidden condition! Hum. What a time!
