<TITLE>01. Par 1-11</TITLE>63-0628M, O Lord, Just Once More, Associated Brotherhood Of Christians Campground, Hot Springs, AR, 88 min
L-1      Good morning, friends, or good afternoon. I broke my watch, I can't tell what time it is. [A brother says, "Still morning, brother."--Ed.] Still morning, is it? All right.

L-2 Besides, we are living in Eternity. We have no time. Time limits stopped when Jesus Christ gave me His Life inside of me, to live by, so we are Eternal creatures right now, sitting together in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus. What a time!

L-3 Now this is just my second day here with you, but, my, it's like cold molasses on a morning, it's so thick and wonderful. I have never enjoyed myself any more in any meeting. And I'm looking around now at night, they're so crowded I can't see nobody, but today I can look around. I had the privilege of shaking hands with this fine bunch of ministers in this group here.

L-4   I remember an old man used to come to our church, by the name of John Ryan. Elder Ryan, they called him. He was from Dowagiac, Michigan. And he used to preach a little bit, and then run back and shake my hand. And then he'd preach a little bit, and run back and shake my hand. I said, "Brother Ryan, I--I appreciate that, but I--I don't get the meaning of why you do it."

L-5 He said, "When the battery gets low, I need it charged, so I just got all charged up." [Brother Branham and congregation laugh--Ed.]

L-6 I just seen a--a Methodist minister from up in my country, that just received the Holy Ghost, and I baptized him. Sitting over here to my left, Brother Junior Jackson. I seen him shaking his hands like that, kind of reminded me of Brother Ryan. How many thinks that the Methodists can't receive the Holy Ghost? You're mistaken. Stand up, Brother Junior Jackson, him and his lovely wife there. They're from down in Indiana there, a Methodist minister.

L-7   Where is Willard Collins? Is he in the building this morning? Where you at, Brother Willard? I thought he was around here. Another Methodist minister standing over here, if you don't think Methodists can receive the Holy Ghost and be rebaptized. Stand up, Brother Collins. There is another one. The brother was up to Asbury College at Wilmore, Kentucky, out of a fine Methodist background.

L-8 Now there is some more people with me here, that's--that's come down. I heard them say "amen," and I know they're here, but I can't see them. Brother--Brother Fred Sothmann from the tabernacle at Jeffersonville. Fred, are you and Brother Tom here? I believe I hear him say, "Here." Over here in the corner, yeah.

L-9 We are very happy to introduce these man. I don't exactly see at this time, there is perhaps more here that I don't know. I think Brother Jack Moore just got through speaking. And--and so these are fine man, and we love them.

L-10   And now it's been such a wonderful time of being here. I said to our wife, my wife, I said, "You, you should have come down in this meeting." We believe in a nice old-fashion pentecostal meeting. We believe, that where the liberty in the Spirit of God, that all different phases of denominations can come together and sit together in Heavenly places, as a church. Our differences makes no difference there, when we're in Christ, we're under the Blood and in the fellowship of His love.

L-11 And I want to say this to this group of ministers. I--I come into Pentecost from a Missionary Baptist, and I have admired Pentecost. They're my people. I love them. If I thought there was any church any more right than that, I would be at the other church. But I'm with Pentecost, because I think that it's the closest thing that I see to the Scripture. If I knowed something else, I would be with them; and so, not disregarding any other belief, not at all. But the reason I think of Pentecost, because it's closer to what I think is Scriptural, than what anything that I know of.
