<TITLE>25. Par 250-257</TITLE>L-250   Would you like to receive a real Kingdom of God, where your whole being is changed; you're transformed and you're made a new creature; a whole bloom of Life, of Eternal Life, is in you; the things of the world is dead? I'm not going to ask you to come to any altar. I'm going to ask you for your sincerity. If you really desire, and want me to pray, as I close the service, raise up your hand, say, "Pray for me, Brother Branham." God bless you. Fine, about ninety percent.

L-251   Our Heavenly Father, as I looked down just before I closed my eyes, Lord, and seen this publication here, this ad in a paper, "the story of Tony Fontane," blonds, gimmicks, dancing upon the platform, music, immoral-dressed women, men.

L-252 Jesus said, "What did you go out to see when you went to see John; a man of soft raiments, turned-around collars, and so forth? No." Said, "They're in kings' palaces. Did you go to see a--a reed shaken with the wind; anybody that would want an organization offering something a little better than the other, and he'd go to it? Not John. He wasn't a reed shaken with wind. He never compromised on any of your things." Said, "What did you go to see, then, a prophet?" Said, "I say to you, more than a prophet."

L-253   Our Father, God, we realize that there's no hopes left for the church organization. It's gone, Lord. It was against Your will, in the beginning. There's no hope for the nation. It's gone.

L-254 We done seen, this nation, just a perfect pattern of Israel. How when Israel come into their homeland, and--and drove out the occupants, as we come in and drove out the American Indian. And how they had great men in those days: David, Solomon, Joshua. And so did we come in and drive out the natives, and set up our land, our economy, upon freedom of religion, when we'd been bound by dogmas and things. We had great men, a Washington, a Lincoln. But, finally, as the years went by, they finally elected in a Ahab that had a painted-up Jezebel who set the fashions of the world. So have we done the very same thing. And now we see the same thing take place. In that day, you had an Elijah to stand and condemn it. Oh, how they hated him, but he--he stood. His voice will still be standing at the Day of the Judgment.

L-255 And, Father, send to us an Elijah. Send to us the Voice of the Bible, the Voice of God, and vindicate It. And prove that You are God, that You do the same yesterday, today, and forever, that the people would know. Without any hesitation, they see that it's the Truth. And may people...

L-256 Like the little woman at the well, had been mixed up in all kinds of stuff, but when that Light flashed across her little path that she was walking on, she seen something. She was never the same anymore. She came to a Fountain that she had never visit before.

L-257   Grant, Lord, today, that many today will see that there is a Fountain open, and the Word of God is still in effect to every one that will believe and receive It. Many hands went up, Lord Jesus. They're desperately in need. I believe they meant it. I hardly can think that--that people who are trying, and has come into this Pentecostal move, because that they've come out of these fashions and things, and seen there wasn't nothing to them. And they come right into here, to find themselves in the same kind of conglomeration of--of Hollywood, same kind of an educational program, big shots, as we call it on earth, Lord. Oh, how... God, help them. Will You, Father?
