<TITLE>20. Par 191-199</TITLE>L-191   With heads bowed, surely hearts bowed, let's bow our hearts just a minute now, with our heads, saying, "Lord, with my heart bowed now, with all that of my tradition, am I right or wrong?" Let the Holy Spirit search through the heart now. And if it's not just where it should be, and you would like to be remembered in prayer in the closing, that you know that we can all meet under one thing, the Blood, the Atonement. And when we do, then we're cleansed from all the things of the world. And you'd like to be remembered in prayer, would you let it know by uplift your hand to God? Say, "Re-..." God bless you. Oh, my, the hands! "Remember me, O Lord."

L-192   Do you realize that we haven't got many more days to stroll through this earth? You say, "Well, I'm young." I know. I don't know, sister, brother, there'll be a many teen-ager die tonight, across the world, hundreds of them. No, only thing you have is what breath is left in you.

L-193 Will you, at this time, say, "With my hand up, Lord God, I accept the pardon that You offered, the Blood of Jesus Christ"?" Now let the Token from the Blood, the Holy Spirit, come upon me. I haven't received the Holy Ghost. I--I know it. And I--I want to receive that something that makes me feel the way you're talking about, that my sins are all gone; and the world, the love of the world, is passed from me, and I'm a new creature. I want to know that in my heart. And, God, I'm not raising my hand to Brother Branham, but I'm raising it to You, and You know my heart." And don't anyone look up. Just let God see this, alone. And say, "God, I--I--I want the token, that the Blood has been applied to me. And I want it."
Raise your hand, say, "Pray for me, Brother Branham." Lord bless you. That's fine.

L-194   No matter what you are, Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, it's for whosoever will. Now, I have... saying nothing against those churches. They, they're all right. But what I'm trying to say, that that won't save. You see?

L-195 It's got to be God's pardon, pardoning grace. And it's only represented, not through a church, but through the Blood of Jesus Christ. That's your Substitute, when you can lay your hands upon Him and say, "Now I accept this substitute. God, be merciful to me."

L-196 And maybe there may be church members here, that has joined church, with all good sincerity. I believe that, with all my heart, you joined with sincerity. But, you say, "Brother Branham, really, my heart hasn't been cleansed from all these traditions and things. I--I believe if someone would speak against the very church that I... If the Bible would even say, tell me, I'd be proved by the Bible that my church is wrong, I--I still couldn't accept it from my heart. I couldn't do it, but I want to. Pray for me." Would you raise your hand, say, "Pray?" "I'll do it. Yes, I sure will." God bless you. That's good. That's fine. "I--I want to be able to accept everything that God said, just the way He did in His Bible. And I want the Blood of Jesus Christ to come upon me."

L-197   And if the Blood is applied, the token! See, there is a token given of the Blood, and that's the Holy Spirit. And when the Holy Spirit came down, on the Day of Pentecost, you know what It did to the people. And every time that it ever will come upon the people, It'll do the very same thing. Peter said, "For the promise is unto you, to your children, to them that's far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call," this same promise.

L-198 If ten cents is ten cents here, it's ten cents out there. It's, wherever it's at, is ten cents. If this is a diamond in here, it's a diamond in there. If this is a house here, it's a house there.

L-199 And if this is the Holy Spirit that fell on the Day of Pentecost, it's the same Holy Spirit today. And you have never found that experience? Accept it now while we pray, will you?
