<TITLE>01. Par 1-14</TITLE>64-0802, The Future Home Of The Heavenly Bridegroom And The Earthly Bride, Branham Tabernacle, Jeffersonville, IN, 210 min
L-1      Let us remain standing a moment, as we bow our hearts now before God.

L-2 Our Heavenly Father, we are indeed grateful for the privilege of being here today, assembled together in the Name of the Lord Jesus. We pray You forgive our sins, and as we are here to turn our attention towards the Eternal things and the Life that lays beyond this mortal reach. Now we pray that You will give us of Your directions, of how that we must turn, what we must do in the future, and even in the presence now, to gain that place that we are... been promised.

L-3 There are many that are sick and needy in the land, and they haven't completed their journey. And our great enemy, not only our enemy, but Your enemy, has come to beset them and to--and to stop their life, and to send them to a--a premature grave. And we're asking for them, today, that You and Your mercy and grace, Lord, will extend their days to the allotted time.

L-4   Laying upon the platform, or the pulpit, here lays handkerchiefs and parcels. And out in the halls and around the place, is them on cots, stretchers, sick and afflicted, standing in the audience with hardly enough strength to stand on.

L-5 O Eternal God, Blessed One, may You hear our prayer this morning, through the Blood of the Lord Jesus; not looking at our iniquity, but knowing that He stood in our place, and He is the One that's representing us for this prayer. May each and every one be healed for Your glory, Lord.

L-6 Bless these handkerchiefs. When they're laid upon the sick, may they recover.

L-7 And now, Father, until we wait for the great healing service, we believe will follow, break to us the way of Life, Lord, that we might know through Thy Word what we should do. For we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-8   As always, this is deemed one of my highest privileges, is to be in the house of God and to speak to His people. And now I know it's very congested, and I have a very long lesson. So I'm... I--I trust that--that you'll be comfortable, as possibly you can be, until we finish the Message.

L-9   Now, it's hot, but we're grateful for the air conditioner. But, a group of this size, there be no air conditioner could take care of it, see, because your own body is a generating unit, about ninety-eight degrees, and it's constantly putting out heat, and sitting close together. But I--I trust that God will make you just as comfortably as He can.

L-10   And when we are in, build gatherings like this, I--I wouldn't have you come here, by no means, if I didn't think it was to help you, if I didn't think that it was doing you good, and that you would profit by it, by coming. And then, knowing too that we don't have too much longer to do this, that we're--we're coming to the--the very closing hours, and I--I want to make every moment count, that I can, for His Kingdom. And now I'm trusting that the Lord God will bless us as we assemble.

L-11   And I want to comment you, that, yesterday I was going to different places, out seeing some of the sick and afflicted, in the motels, and I got to meet some of the managers this week, some of the eating places. Like, I was over to the Ranch House this week, over here, and the manager was shaking my hand as we started out. And he said, he called me, "Brother Branham." I wondered how he knew me. And he said...
I said, "Are you the manager?"

L-12 He said, "I'm the owner." So then he said, "Yeah, your people come in here to eat, from down there." Said, "They..."
And I said, "Well, I guess they overcrowd you."

L-13 He said, "Sir, that's one of the finest bunch of peoples I ever seen." He said, "They're really nice."

L-14   I went to a motel yesterday, to see a young lady I wanted to talk to, her father and mother was present, and I had to go to the manager to find out where the--the mot-... the room they were in.
