<TITLE>22. Par 184-196</TITLE>L-184   Lord God, here we are. The hour is here, Father. It may be later than we think. Maybe corruption has so set in, and the cankerworm has been eating, and the caterpillar, until all the Life is gone. I pray Thee, Lord, to be merciful. Grant, Lord, if there is a man or woman, boy or girl, in Presence now, that doesn't know You, that they will accept You just now, Father. It might be the last name that will ever go on the Book, out of Shreveport.

L-185   And while we have our heads bowed. Is that person here would raise up your hand, say, "Brother Branham, I am thoroughly convinced that what you said is right. The world is falling apart, and we receive a Kingdom that cannot fall apart. And, as for me, I am not sure whether I'm in that Kingdom, or not."

L-186 Don't you rely upon whether you have had some kind of an emotional work-up. Don't you rely upon whether you spoke in tongues. I believe in those things. Sure, I believe in speaking in tongues. But I've heard devils speak in tongues and give the interpretation to it, write in unknown tongues, witches, see. You can't go by that.

L-187 But if the Life of Jesus Christ is in you, It'll live Itself out, believing every Word of God. Because, He can't deny Himself, He is the Word.

L-188 Now, if He is the Word, and He is in you, and then you say, "Well, Brother Branham, I tell you, I just can't take That. I don't believe This, these things are for this day," and here It is promised for this day, oh, my brother, you've been deceived. Some spirit has got upon you and deceived you.

L-189   Lady, if you, or man, or whoever you are, if those things that's so real, real in the Word, that Jesus Christ died for; not just to have a church or to have an emotional bunch, but to have a bunch that's got His Spirit, living in Him; His Bride, His Word is in there, every Word is true. And you know It doesn't operate through you that way, you know there is things, in the Bible, that you just can't believe to be so; and you want to be remembered in prayer? Now with every eye closed, every head bowed, I wonder, if at this late hour when...

L-190 It may be almost passed feeling time, see, because there will come a time like that when the Spirit of God will be withtaken from the earth, there will be no more. The Church will remain a while, that's right, preaching, 'cause it has to preach to the Eternal lost, just as every ministry did, coming down through the age. The last part of every ministry preached to the Eternal lost. And there will be a ministry now that will preach to the Eternal lost after they have refused to receive It.

L-191   But if there still seems to be a spark in your heart, that you would like to have Christ in you, and all the world dead, would you raise up your hand, say, "Remember me in prayer, Brother Branham." The Lord bless you. Yes, yes, ten or fifteen hands. Would there be another before we pray? Now we're fixing to close, in about two or three minutes. God bless you, young lady.

L-192 Just think of it, think, think of it, what if it would be to late? What if you're the last person He'll ever knock on the door?

L-193 She is falling apart, we know that. You can't stay here, that's one thing sure. You can't stay here. You're going. Just mark it, you are going. And if you're...

L-194   Just don't be worked-up. Don't say, "I belong to church." You be sure of That. If Christ doesn't live you, in you, till you're... all your mind, heart, soul, body.

L-195 You, you say, "Well, I think..." You haven't got no thought coming, brother. Let the mind that was in Christ be in you! "I think the days oughtn't to be... I think this oughtn't to be. I think the Word don't mean this." We have no thought coming.

L-196 If the mind of Christ is in us, then we will recognize that Word to be the Truth, and It lives right through us. You can't help it, It's Christ!
