<TITLE>34. Par 366-375</TITLE>L-366   Do you love Him? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] God be with you. God help you. I want you...

L-367 How many more in here wants the Holy Ghost? Let's see your hand. How many? One, two, three, four. Oh, my, my! No need of going without It. There's eight or ten here, eleven. About eleven, twelve, maybe, in here, needs the Holy Ghost, yet. Let... I know we may be running late, maybe nine-thirty or something like that. But we got--we got plenty time. We just got plenty time. We want you saved, friend. We want you filled. Remember, you are--you are saved, course. When you accept Christ, you're saved. But you're not converted until you receive the Holy Ghost. Now, you know that. That's right.

L-368   Jesus told Peter, the night of the betrayal. He was already saved. Said, "Now, after you are converted, strengthen your brethren." That's right. Oh, sure. You accepted Christ as your Saviour. But when you're converted, is when you're really changed. That's right. And he wasn't changed yet. He cursed before the Lord, and denied Him, and everything. But after his conversion: "After thou art converted, strengthen your brethren." That's right. Is that right? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] That's what the Scriptures says, anyhow. That makes it right. Jesus told Peter, that had followed Him, and cast out devils, and done miracles, and everything, said, "You're not converted yet. But after you're converted, then strengthen your brethren." Right. It's true. Now, why don't...

L-369 Why, how could you turn down such a--a--a invitation as that? It's for you. I don't want to see you leave here without It, brother. We may never have another convention. We don't know. We don't know what lays ahead. We might not never have another one. If you want to set down, and pray a little while, it's up to you. It's whatever you want to do, if you want to set down, you want to remain standing. We're going to pray again. Do every little thing you want to do, but I want you to receive the Holy Ghost. Now, It's for you. Why would four receive It right here, and the rest of you not? See? You just got to humble yourself, open up your heart and--and really believe it.

L-370   I may not be a good instructor in this. My ministry is praying for the sick.

L-371 Where is there a Pentecostal preacher here, somebody, a Pentecostal preacher? Raise up your hand. What about this fellow here, prayed for the sick, one over here? Come here. Here's a man. I--I was born out of season, in the Pentecostal ranks. But, here, I want this man here to pray for you. I'm going to stand by his side. God bless you, brother.

L-372 [The Pentecostal brother comes to the pulpit, and says to those standing, "If you would let the Holy Ghost come upon you, raise your hands." The same brother now speaks six short sentences in another tongue, and then leaves the pulpit and continues speaking in another tongue among those wanting the baptism of the Holy Ghost--Ed.]

L-373 Be reverent now. He's gone down to lay hands on someone. See? Just be real reverent. Don't--don't look around. Keep looking up, looking up, looking up. We'll keep praying. Keep praying.

L-374 [Brother Branham speaks with another brother--Ed.] Come here, brother. You take my place, brother, here. You can explain it to them. See? You know more about it than I do. All right. Just come, give it out. They prayed for it, and come to the altar now. [Brother Branham speaks with someone.] That's right.

L-375 [Brother Branham speaks with another brother who has come to the pulpit--Ed.] All right, sir. God bless you. Now, you know how to do this better than me. I'm going to stand here and pray. You can give them more instructions. And...
