<TITLE>24. Par 283-296</TITLE>L-283 Won't you come now? I know something in my heart telling me that there is somebody holding back. Don't do it, brother, don't do it!
... Angels are lingering near,
Prayers rise from hearts so dear; O wanderer, come. (Now real...)

L-284   Listen, friend. You believe that the Holy Spirit, through this week, has proved that He speaks here? Let's see your hand. There should be this many more, or more. I feel that Feeling. See, He isn't... There is something wrong yet. Better come.

L-285 Remember, I can't--I can't force you to come against your own will. But I believe this might be the time, all that what you've looked forward to, it might be fixing to happen right now. And this could be, I hope it's not, it could be the last time you will ever be called. Remember, He won't always strive. He'll call, then He'll turn from you, never to come again.

L-286 Why don't you come right now? Won't you come up here and just represent yourself before God? Say, "I'll come stand. I'll take the way. I'm not ashamed. I belong to church, but I want the whole world to know that I'm ready to receive Christ in my heart, the Holy Spirit. I'm coming now to do it. I'm ready to straighten up, be a real Christian, a real lady, a real man." Won't you come? We'll just wait. Come right on down, that's right, out of the balconies and aisle. Come down here, just make your stand.

L-287   Friend, I may never see you again this side of the great time. But if I don't, remember, I'm going to be innocent now, so is Christ. He has identified Hisself with you. You'll see Him do the same thing in a little bit. All right. Now come down, take your stand.

L-288 "Why," you say, "Brother Branham, you're judging me." No, I'm not.

L-289 I'm judging this Feeling that's in me, see. There is Something in here, says, "Oh, there is more. There is many more." See?

L-290 Now you say, "Well, I, I've joined church, Brother Branham. I'm Pentecostal. I--I--I don't..." I'm not saying that, friend. I'm not asking that, at all.
I am asking, "Have you got the Life of Christ?"

L-291 And you say, "Brother Branham, I've spoke in tongues." That's good. But that ain't still what I'm asking about.

L-292 You say, "Brother Branham, I never harmed anybody." That's not still what I'm asking about.
"Is the Life of Christ in you?"

L-293 Don't take no chance, friend. Don't, don't, don't do that. It's going to be when you... When death strikes you, it's too late then. Don't do it. Please don't.

L-294   Now we got so many here right now, I'll have to give a little room for some more. I'm going to pray for these, and then so we can go in, get in a room there so we come lay hands on them, receive the Holy Ghost. And then we're going to pray right now for these.
You bow your heads just a moment.

L-295 Our Heavenly Father, here are those bowed here, that are men and women, they are Eternity-bound people. They, they must go, we know that. And we see earthquakes, that, and the world in the position it's in now. And see the Christ come to us and do the things that He is doing, and see the Message, the Word go right out, and then see Him come right behind It and vindicate It to be Truth, knowing every secret of the heart. And these people now have come forward to make a stand. They couldn't have done this by themselves. They come because they were led to come.

L-296   And, Father, I'm offering prayer for them right here. Not only for their salvation, to be saved, but they might be filled with the Holy Ghost. Grant it, Lord. May each one standing here be filled with the Spirit, and may from here come a revival through this country, that'll just shake this community and all this country around about. Grant it, Lord.
