<TITLE>21. Par 227-237</TITLE>L-227 Are you a holder of Eternal Life? Would you just stand, up in the balconies, around the front, and the right and left? God bless you. Stand up.

L-228 You that's already standing in the halls, if you'd just raise up your hands; so some identification, something that you can do, to throw yourself into a motion, "I've accepted It, myself, that morning." God bless you. All right.

L-229 And around on the stairs and wherever you are, just raise your hand and say, "Remember me, Brother Branham. I--I'm... I truly want Eternal Life."

L-230   Now think real close. This, this might be the time that it'll all be settled. I'll--I'll be sincere, friends, this is Life to me. And I--I--I know that it's right. It's right.

L-231 Would there be some more? Just seems like there was more than that held their hands a while ago. Now if you're not sure, would you just do that much, just stand up on your feet, and say, "Remember me in your prayer, Brother Branham, as you're praying." All right. How many more? Stand right up on your feet, no matter who you are, just stand up and say, "Pray for me, brother." God bless you. I see you, through the balconies and around. Now you sure that's all? God bless you. Another group raised up. Would there be some more now? Just raise to your feet. Say...

L-232   Now I know we're late, and the Holy Spirit interrupted us a few times. Well, that's wonderful, we like for the Holy Spirit to do that, see, as long as He is bringing His Word. That shows it's not only my word, but It's His, too. All right.

L-233 Now let's raise up, see, everybody that hasn't been filled with the Holy Spirit, that you know there is no evidence in your life that you are filled with the Holy Spirit, and you want This.

L-234   Now you might be a fine, loyal member of a church. And that, oh, how I appreciate that, certainly. You just continue right on in your church. That's right. Because, the sleeping virgins is coming up now, you see that. And remember, Jesus said, when the sleeping virgin... the one that tried to live a good life within theirself, they was a virgin, but they didn't have any Oil. Oil symbolizes the Spirit. That's why we anoint in oil, see. The oil symbolizes the Spirit. They were good people, fine people, members of fine Methodist, Baptist, Lutheran, all kinds of churches, but they had no Oil.

L-235 And they come in the last watch, the Seventh Church Age, to buy Oil. And while they were in process of buying Oil, what happened? The Bridegroom came. Now, that was just read in the Scripture, a while ago, by this notable minister here. And don't you see, was there ever a time down through the age, you Pentecostals? Down through the age, it's never been a time that the Methodist, Baptist, and Presbyterian has cried out for the Holy Spirit like they're doing now. See? And when they do, what is that? He come right then! That was the hour of His Coming. And right while they, all of these brethren and churches are hungering, it's got... This virgin rises, you know, in the last Day, in the Judgment, the White Throne; but not the Bride.

L-236   Now if you have no Oil in your lamp, while the doors of mercy, I trust, is still open, won't you rise, and say, "Remember me, Brother Branham." In doing that, it'll symbolize to God, "I'll... My Oil is--is not in my lamp, Brother Branham, I--I believe in Christ. Certainly, I do. I've been a member for a long time. But really to say my life is filled with that lovely Holy Spirit, and everything is different, and I'm a new creature, I'm not that way, Brother Branham. You pray for me." God bless you now. There is many, many standing, in the balconies and everywhere.

L-237   Now I want you ministering brethren here, my--my precious brethren, to pray with me now as we pray, each one of you.
