<TITLE>25. Par 290-302</TITLE>L-290 If you say you're no good, "I ain't worthy to get healed, Brother Branham. I ain't worthy to come to Christ." Don't look at yourself. Look at your Sacrifice. I'm no good. There's nothing good in me, not even a thought. There's nothing no good, nothing no good in you. There's none of us deserve anything but hell. That's exactly.

L-291   But, oh, look what stands to represent us. Look what stands to represent us. And Here is His Life, in print, try to be manifested through us. And then, through some little creed, we turn It down. Oh, we need a conference. Yes.

L-292 That's the reason I can walk to the platform, not being a fear that something is going to come up, and going to happen this way, or that way, or it'll fail, or something go wrong. No. I look at my Sacrifice.
"Billy, what did you do this week?"

L-293 I done enough to die, said, in an hour. I, I'm a sinner, to begin with. But I'm looking Who give me the promise. I'm looking Who said so, "Don't you fear. Stand there. For this cause you were born. I raised you up for this purpose." Then all devils in hell can't make me move. I'm standing there on Christ, that solid Rock.

L-294   Any of you remember Paul Rader? A great warrior of God. I was a little boy, setting at his feet. He died, over here in California, not long ago. When he was dying... He and his brother Luke stuck together, like me and my son here. They went together, just hand in hand, like brother and brother, just as father and son. And Paul came to the end of the road.

L-295 Moody Bible Institute sent a little quartet down there, to sing. And they had the blinds all pulled, and shades down, the hospital. And Luke had kind of a... I mean, Paul had a sense of humor, you know. And he looked around to that little quartet. And they was singing Nearer My God To Thee. He said, "Who is dying, me or you?" He said, "Raise them curtains there and sing me some good, snappy Gospel songs." And they got singing.
Down at the cross where my Saviour died,
Down there for cleansing from sin I cried;
There to my heart was the Blood applied;
Glory to His Name.

L-296 He said, "That sounds better." Said, "Where is Luke, the one that stuck by me through thick and thin."

L-297 He couldn't see his brother die. He was in the next room. They went and got him. Paul raised his big hand to Luke, and Luke took hold of his hand. The tears ran off his cheek.

L-298 Said, "Luke, think of it. We been a long ways together. We've took a many a brier pile, and through many a ditch. But, think of it, in five minutes from now I'll be standing in the Presence of Jesus Christ, clothed in His righteousness." That's it.

L-299   Paul has told me. Said he... when he was a young man. He come from Oregon. He was a--a woodsman, and he would cut the trees. And he said, when he was over in one of the islands... I forget where it was at. South America, that's where it was. And he was missionary-ing there. And he took this black fever, black-water fever. And, oh, you know what that is. That's death, right away. Way back in the jungles, miles to a doctor.

L-300 Paul was a great believer in Divine healing, as you know. And so then he--he told his wife, he said... They was going for a doctor. He said, "It won't make any difference. I couldn't live that long." So his wife... Said, "Honey, you get down here, the side of the bed, and you talk to our Doctor. Let's call Him on the scene."

L-301 So his wife begin praying, "God, don't let my beloved husband die. He is here in the mission fields for You. Don't let him die."

L-302   Fever raging, out of his mind, nearly, just going and coming. He said, "Honey, it's getting darker and darker. I can't last but a little bit longer." Said, "Just keep praying, honey."
