<TITLE>18. Par 200-209</TITLE>L-200 Oh, you can! Look what happened? He died, in order that you could do it, that you could be saved. That's genuine. Would you like to be like that, and like to be remembered in prayer? Raise your hand, say, "I would, Brother Branham."
Let us bow our heads.

L-201   With our heads bowed, come sweetly, humbly now. We haven't room here for an altar call. There is no even an altar. But the Bible said, "As many as believed, was baptized." Altar call, come in the Methodist day, which is all right. But in the time of our Lord and the apostles, they "believed unto Life." You were "saved by faith, through grace." If you haven't got that experience tonight, brother, sister!

L-202 Women, if you haven't got enough grace in your heart, tonight, to know that the Bible teaches that you should stop bobbing your hair, wearing shorts and make-up! If you haven't got that much grace in your heart, tonight! And you know the Bible teaches you should. He can't change. You say, "I don't wear shorts. I wear slacks." That's worse.

L-203 God said, "A woman that'll wear a garment pertains to a man, it's an abomination to God."

L-204   And you man that can't stop gawking and looking at women immorally dressed, the idols of the day! You man that hasn't got enough real grace in your heart to make your wife and kids quit doing such a thing as that, the love of God isn't anchored in your heart; don't be called a son of God. You're still in Sodom, a man that can't take over his own house; God ordained him to do.

L-205 And you deacons that's married two or three times! And you man that run out on your wives, and try to hold your profession! You women that crossed the other way! You people that hide behind the cloak of the church! Your denomination won't have nothing to do with the next fellow, let him be Christian or not; if he don't belong to your crew, you'll have nothing to do with him. Shame on you!

L-206 May God display real, tonight, to you. May you come to Him, sweetly now, and say, "Lord, forgive me for my sins. From this night, henceforth, I'll serve You."

L-207   You that love television program, that you'll stay home to see some immoral movie star like We Love Sucy or what of some of that other stuff that they have, stay home on Wednesday night to watch television instead of coming to the prayer room, the love of God is gone from your heart. You do that, and still you hold your membership? The love of God would drive you from that, and drive you to your church, to your--your brother and sister; to come together, sit in Heavenly places and listen at your pastor preach. And the--the revival, or the camp, is ending now. If that still remains in your heart, let us pray together now that God will remove it.

L-208   Lord Jesus, we come with humble contrition, we come with penitent hearts, Lord. We are all guilty. We've trespassed against Thy Commandments. We've transgressed the laws of Thy love that saved us. The church itself has went off on tantrums and building programs, and all kinds of stuff; and left the prayer meeting and--and the Holy Spirit for something on once or twice a week, when it should be in our hearts and mind constantly. Forgive us, Lord.

L-209 Forgive our ministers, Lord, who will stand in the pulpit and be ashamed to proclaim the full Gospel of Christ. How that many of them today... The whole world has become a Sodom. Many ministers sitting in their parish, tonight and tomorrow, or in their study, trying to find words; and run across the Word of God, and see the sins, but are afraid to say anything about it, because they'd be excommunicated. The deacon board will have them up, and they'll be turned into headquarters and be taken out, when they know they ought to preach against sin. It's a Lot, again, "The sins of Sodom vexed his righteous soul." But man hasn't got the courage. Just like Lot, he didn't have the courage to stand up.
