<TITLE>27. Par 185-191</TITLE>L-185 Now I'm going to ask Brother Blair if he'll pray for God to make us clean now for the communion that's fixing to take place. Will you, Brother Blair? [Brother Richard Blair prays--Ed.] Yes. Yes, Lord. Grant it, Lord. Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Yes. Yes. Amen.
You may be seated now, each one.

L-186   And now on the organ, sister, if you all just play There Is A Fountain Filled With Blood. And you can start your... take them there, whatever is necessary. All right, the reading now, if we'll just be... get quiet just for a moment.
Yes, sister? [A sister says, "Get my hanky?"--Ed.] All right, sister, you just look through here till you find it, that'll be all right then, whatever it is there. That's it? All right, sister.

L-187 All right, now Brother Neville will read the order of the communion.
And then the ushers will be coming, if there is strangers here, to each seat, and bring in aisle by aisle, as we come, and row by row, for the communion.

L-188   And now may you meditate now. Remember, Israel eat it in desperation, and through the journey there wasn't a feeble one among them, in the end of forty years. This is Divine healing, also.
Lord bless you, Brother Neville.
[Brother Neville reads the following Scripture, First Corinthians 11:23-32:
For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.
Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
Brother Neville says, "The Lord bless the reading, the Word." Brother Branham then picks up the tray of broken bread--Ed.]

L-189   I hold kosher bread, wrinkled and broken, representing the body of Jesus Christ; through--through this riven veil we have access to the Holiest of holies.

L-190 Our Heavenly Father, this bread has been prepared to represent that broken and torn body. May each of us, as we receive it, may it be as though we literally had did this act. And may we have the forgiveness of our sins, and the access to the Holiest of holies, to live in Your Presence in our future life; and all the days that we shall live here on earth, and be with You in Eternity forever. Grant it, Father. Bless this bread for that intended purpose. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-191   [Brother Branham picks up the tray of small glasses filled with wine--Ed.] The Bible said, "After He had taken and broke the bread, like manner He took the cup; and when He had supped, saying, 'This is the cup of the New Testament in My Blood, which is shed for you.'" May the Lord grant His blessings upon this as we pray.
