<TITLE>22. Par 260-268</TITLE>L-260   Now just take a look at yourself in God's mirror, and just see if you can identify yourself tonight. If you had been living in the days of--of Noah, in time of the flood, what side would you be identified with? If you was living in the days of Moses, what side would you have been on? If you had lived in the days of Christ, when all the churches was against Him? He had to stand alone out there, and the things He did. Only thing, was God with Him, that's the only thing. Even all of His disciples, nearly, walked away from Him. But what side, just your present state now, where would you, what side will you be on? What side would you be on right now, when you see Him again right among us?

L-261 Now He is here, and can turn the Light on in your heart, and just fill your life with the Holy Spirit. How many in here now, with your heads bowed, and your hearts, too, will pray with me just a moment?

L-262   Now, Heavenly Father, we know that You just don't come along and--and do things just to show that You can do it. You're doing it for a purpose. And, Lord, this week, I felt led to wait till this minute, this very time, that first they would see that the Word is confirmed. It's beyond any question now. And this one character, Abraham, when all characters in the Bible are tied right into it, and we see where we're sitting right now.

L-263 Father, with a broken up word, but it's the best I could do. I pray now that the great Holy Spirit that's here, that knows the secret of every heart, will speak to that heart right now. Do, Lord. Speak to that one that would not go, if You was coming tonight, if the door would be closed tonight, if they would die on the road home, or get hit by a car and killed, or die, be found dead in the bed in the morning, they wouldn't be saved. O God, please don't let none of them go that way.

L-264 If they have just joined church, Lord, may they not be ashamed to step out and ask God for a filling of His Spirit, that His Life would come into them. If they haven't been able to understand these things; neither did the disciples, but they held on until the Holy Spirit was poured out, then they understood It, and wrote the Bible. I pray, Father, now, that You'll speak to every heart and let them know that the Man that can turn the Light on is right at their heart's door.

L-265   With our heads bowed now. How many in here will be real honest, and say, "Brother Branham, I--I know that I'm not right with God"? I want--I want you to raise your hand up. Just keep your head bowed, everybody, but raise your hand. "I'm not right with God." God bless you. God bless you. Yes. "I," hands, "I know I'm not right with God."

L-266 See, what I'm trying to do, find favor with God for this great healing service tomorrow. If I can just get favor, I--I--I don't believe there will be a thing left but what will, God will heal, if I can just get the people to believe.

L-267   Now, you without the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and you know that is the Oil. If you didn't have Oil in the lamp, they did not go in.

L-268 And did you ever hear of such a time, in the papers, where Presbyterians, Lutherans... Look at the Christian Business Men's magazine. Lutherans, Presbyterian, even Catholic, are seeking to find the baptism of the Holy Ghost, by the hundreds. And I wonder if those Full Gospel Business Men understand that they will not get It?
