<TITLE>16. Par 170-181</TITLE>L-170 He said, "Repent, every one of you, be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to them that's far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call."

L-171 That's right here tonight. If God is still calling, that's the prescription. You can still receive the same Holy Ghost that they received there, just... You can receive the same thing tonight. Just follow through. That's all you do. Yes, then you can say:
When the coal of Fire had touched the prophet,
Making him as pure as pure could be,
When the voice of God said, "Who will go for us?"
Then he answered, "Master, here, send me."
Let's sing it.
Speak, my Lord, speak, my Lord,
Speak, and I'll be quick to answer Thee;
Speak, my Lord, speak, my Lord,
Speak, and I will answer, "Lord, send me."

L-172   Listen here, brother.
There is millions now in sin and shame, are dying;
Oh, listen to their sad and bitter cry;
Hasten, brother, hasten to their rescue;
Now quickly answer, "Master, here am I."
Oh, speak, my Lord, speak, my Lord,
Speak, and I'll be quick to answer Thee;
Oh, speak, my Lord, speak, my Lord,
Speak, and I will answer, "Lord, send me."

L-173 Let's bow our heads. [Brother Branham begins humming Speak, My Lord--Ed.]
Making him as pure as pure can be,
When the voice of God said, "Who will go for us?"
Then he answered, "Master, here, send me."
Do you want to be humble and cleansed?
Speak, my Lord, speak, my Lord,
Speak, and I'll be quick to answer Thee;
Speak, my Lord, speak, my Lord,
Speak, and I will answer, "Lord, send me."

L-174   While they're playing now, is there one Isaiah in here tonight, or a hundred, that wants to go, wants the cleansing of God in your life? You that don't know Christ as your Saviour, you're invited now to the altar, if He is speaking to your heart. I'm not very much on persuading. I think the Holy Spirit Itself does the persuading. But if you're here, and you're without Christ... Now remember, you will answer at the Day of the Judgment, for what you do with this tonight. See? Now if you want to come, I'm here to pray with you.

L-175 In Christ's Name, I offer you the opportunity to come, seek God, and happily you might find Him. Young people, old people, middle-aged, church members, whoever you are; if the Fire of God, by the Holy Ghost, hasn't cleansed you in your heart, until the place that you believe every Word of this Bible, and Christ is a living witness of your... in your heart, that He has raised from the dead, then I'm inviting you to the altar. Come here and let us pray with you. Believing all of you, then, upon your own action, that you are saved.

L-176   Then, is there a backslider in here that would come? I am asking you, as a servant of Christ, if you'll walk down here and let us pray with you. I don't say He'll take you back; I believe He will. Won't you come try it now? If He is talking to you, come.

L-177 Those without the baptism of the Holy Spirit? I presume there is not any here that doesn't, that isn't backslid. Everyone, then, must be prayed up; Christians, and prayed up. And then if you are prayed up, and you haven't got the baptism, and you would like God to give It to you, it's your opportunity then, now.

L-178 There is one man in here that doesn't have It. Bless his humble heart. I trust it's another Isaiah.
Now raise your heads then.

L-179 There is one man bowed here at the altar, one I trust to be an Isaiah.
Now He is here. Do you believe He is here?

L-180   Now I'm going to tell you what you've done. You've done the horriblest thing you ever done. There is two or three hundred people here ought to be at the altar.

L-181 Let me show you, in the Name of the Lord, that I'm right in what I'm saying. Look. Some of you people in here, pray.
