<TITLE>30. Par 364-376</TITLE>L-364 {441-5} My brother, sister, the goodness and mercies of God extended to the people... While Israel was blinded for this--for here just about two thousand years to give us a chance to repent... Have you turned that mercy down? Have you--have you rejected that...
Who are you anyhow? Where did you come from, and where are you going? You could not ask the doctor. You could not ask anybody in the world, and there's no book you could read that could tell you who you are, where you come from, and what you're going but this Book.

L-366 {442-1} Now, you know without... You have the Blood of the Lamb to act in your place; you see where you're headed for. So if--if God did that for you, the least thing we could do would be accept what He's done. That's all He asked us to do. And on the basis of this...
If I go any farther, I'll have to come right into that plague, oh, that's tomorrow night's service, and I--I can't do it, can't go any farther. I got it marked down here, a cross: stop here. See? So then, I--I got to wait until tomorrow.

L-367 {442-3} Now, let us bow our heads just a moment. If you haven't, my precious friend, hadn't--haven't accepted the love of this God, that I'm talking about... If you have... (Listen to this close now.) If you haven't accepted His love and mercy, you'll have to stand His judgment and wrath.
Now, you tonight are at the same place that Adam and Eve was in the garden of Eden. You have a right; you're a free moral agent. You can go to the Tree of Life, or you can take the plan of the judgment. But today while you're sensible, in your right mind, and you're healthy enough to--to rise and accept it, why don't you do that if you haven't done it?
Is there them people in here that hasn't, as yet, did that? If that be so, would you just raise up your hand, say, "Pray for me, Brother Branham. I now want to do it. I don't want this to come."

L-370 {442-6} Now, remember, friends... (God bless you. That's good.) I have... These are not my ideas of this; I--I... This is not what I been thinking. This is altogether from me. So help me, the Holy Spirit knows it.
And you wait, if the Lord willing, tomorrow night, I want to show you a mystery that's been going all the time right here in this meeting. I doubt very much whether you've ever seen it or not (See?), what's--what's took place. It's been something that's laid right here before you, and I've watched each night for us--for it to rise, or somebody to say, "I see it." See? Don't turn it away, please. I ask you if you're not a Christian, if you're--you're not under the Blood, if you're not borned again, filled with the Holy Spirit, if you've never made a public confession of--of Jesus Christ by being baptized in His Name to witness His death, burial, and resurrection, that you have accepted, the water's ready. They're waiting. Robes are furnished in here, and everything is ready. Christ stands ready with outstretched arms to receive you.

L-374 {443-1} In one hour from now, that mercy might not be extended to you. You might turn it away for the last time, it'll never touch your heart again. While you can, while you can, why don't you do it? Now, while...
I know the regular customary way is bring people up to the altar. We do that, and that's perfectly all right. At this time we're such crowded in here, right around the altar, till I couldn't do that, but I'd like to say this: In the apostolic day, they say, "As many as believed were baptized." See? Just if you can really down in your heart...

L-376 {443-3} Here's all it is. It isn't--it isn't emotion, though emotion accompanies it. Just like what I said: Smoking and drinking isn't sin; it's the attribute of sin. It shows you don't believe. See? But when you truly believe in your heart, and you know that, on the basis of where you are setting there you accept it with all your heart, something's going to happen, right there. It's going to happen. Then you can stand as a witness to it, that something happened.
