<TITLE>18. Par 168-178</TITLE>L-168   Oh, if that could only be the objective of the Pentecostal move tonight! "I'm willing to forget about whether I'm this way, or oneness, twoness, threeness. I'm willing to forget about all these worldly things and everything. Just once more, Lord! Once more take me out of this creed and this thing that I'm bound up in! Once more! Once more let me see the appearing of Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever. Once more, Lord, once more!" The church would scream that, though they've been blinded from these things, blinded from their brother and his idea. Just take God's idea and you won't have to argue about It. "Once more, Lord, once more!"

L-169   Then there stood that big bulk of a frame, powerless and helpless. All at once, he begin to feel something happening. Every fiber of his body begin to fill with the Power of God.

L-170 Oh, if the church could only get to that again, and all the way from the preacher to the deacon, to the laity, every fiber and every member of the body would be filled with the Power of God!

L-171 Those big brawny muscles straightened up, and he crushed it together. "Let me die with them, Lord! Let me die with them! You raised me up to destroy it. Now I've built myself up around it; let me destroy myself with it, my reputation and whatever it is. Let me destroy it, but I want to see the Power of God again."

L-172   Always, when the Power of God comes in, the walls that you've built around you, fall. Your denominational walls will crush, and God will be known again. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

L-173 His every fiber filling with the Holy Ghost, every muscle filled, every bit of his body was just filled up with the Holy Ghost. That was Samson's greatest victory.

L-174 Oh, Church of the living God! I'm going to omit the rest of my notes, to say this one thing. Why don't we? Are you ready, Assemblies of God? Are you ready, you, United Church? Are you ready, Oneness, Trinity, whatever you are? Are you ready, church of God? Are you ready, all the rest you denominations, to forget this nonsense and the thing that you've done? Look where you got people, tonight, and what kind of a condition they're in.

L-175   O God, let's break them walls down. "Once more, Lord!" I don't care, we're at the end of the time, folks. We ain't got much left. We better be hollering right now, crying out. "Once more, Lord, once more! Just this once more, at the end of the world, let Your strength fill my every fiber. I'll break away from all these things. Fellowship cards, and bishops, and denominations, and everything, don't mean a thing to me. I want You, Lord, more than anything."

L-176 Let's think of it, as we bow our heads just a moment. I'm urged to do this. "Once more, Lord!" Everybody, sincerely, reverently, just as reverent as you can be. Just have faith, and down in your heart say, "Once more, Lord!"

L-177   Lord Jesus, Great Master of Life, the Shepherd of the sheep, come forth, Lord. These people are hungering. They're thirsting. Lord, years I've wanted to see this happen, maybe it will. Just once more, Lord, one more great move of the Spirit! One more time, Lord, and the Church might receive the rapturing faith to go in. Grant it, Lord. Make known that You are with us, and we will praise Thee for it. In Jesus' Name we ask it. Amen.

L-178   I know it's not many words, I know it ain't a long prayer, but He knows my objective. I meaned it. Can Jesus live among us tonight? Can Jesus once more come to us and show that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, as we've been taught? Is there sick or afflicted, or downcast, in here, that--that you know there is no prayer cards out (we taken them all last night), but believe God, would raise up your hand and say, "I am in need, Brother Branham. I pray to God that He will speak to me"? Raise your hands, wherever. It's all over.
