<TITLE>15. Par 152-159</TITLE>L-152 He turned up and looked, and those lizard eyes had took another look. The tears was rolling down his cheeks. He threw the gun on the ground. He said, "Billy, I've had enough of it. Lead me to that Jesus that you talk about."

L-153 What was it? Right there on that bank of snow, I led that cruel-hearted man... He's a deacon in a church now. What was it? He saw something real, something genuine, something that wasn't some theology or some historical something. He saw God in reality. That's what brought him.

L-154 Oh, how many in here would like to be the kind, much of a Christian, as that deer was a mother? Sure, with a real experience in the face of death, I mean. [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]
Let us bow our heads.

L-155   Heavenly Father, the hour is late. And the people are attentive. They're nice, and they're listening. And this little story now, Lord, of... I can remember that cold November day, standing up there, and the winds kind of blowing across the mountain. I can see them glistening tears running down them bearded cheeks, when he held me by the leg. And he cried, and said, "Billy, you've talked to me about Someone that's love, and I--I see some reality here." There is something in that deer that drove her out there, Lord, and it's a real motherhood in there. It was a real sign that there was genuine love and motherhood.

L-156   O God, let Thy Word speak tonight, genuine, genuine Holy Spirit. Not something that's emotional, enthusiastic, which it is, also; but something that's real, by the Word, made manifest. "The Word, sharper than a two-edged sword, and discerns the thoughts that's in the heart," which You identified all Your prophets. When You were on earth, You called them "gods." You said, "You called those who the Word of God came to, 'gods,' then how can you condemn Me when I say I'm the Son of God?"

L-157 O Lord, the world knows its own, it's been blind all the years. And I pray, tonight, Father, that You'll open the eyes of people, and let us tonight become real Christians and real believes, for a greater than Solomon is here. A greater than all the prophets is here. The Son of God Himself is here, in the form of the Holy Ghost. Promising, "A little, yet a little while, and the world won't see me no more. The word kosmos, 'the world order,' won't see Me no more. Yet, ye shall see Me, for I will be in you, even to the end of the world." And, Father, You say You're "the same yesterday, today, and forever," and we know it is the Truth. Oh, I pray, God, that You'll have mercy, tonight.

L-158   And while we have our heads bowed. I wonder, tonight, with our heads bowed, would anybody that... Be honest with God now, in His Presence. Before you seen anything happen, but yet you know in your heart that you're not as much a genuine Christian as that deer was a mother. And the reason she was a mother is because she was born a mother. She couldn't help being that. She was born a mother. And now if you are not born, if you ain't got that same love for Christ; regardless of what anybody says, you believe Him. He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. And you would like to have that kind of Christian love in you, as that mother love produced for her, would you, with your heads bowed, everybody now, and every eye closed, raise up your hand? Say, "Pray for me, Brother Branham," and I'll certainly do it. God bless you, brother. God bless you. Oh, my, look around on the floor, up in the balconies, all across.

L-159   Don't be ashamed. If you're ashamed of Him here, He said, "I'll be ashamed of you before the Father and the holy Angels then." You're in His Presence now. He is here. He is absolutely here, the great Holy Spirit. That Pillar of Fire that was with Moses, is right here.
