<TITLE>24. Par 232-244</TITLE>L-232   See, don't lean to your own understanding, but upon the Word of God. If your life doesn't cope, with this Bible, to believe every Word that's in there; and you want to believe it, and want God to work His will through you, because you can be a part of God, will you stand and say, "I will accept it right now, brother." Thank you. Thank you. God bless you. God bless you. God bless you. God bless you. God bless you. Wonderful. God bless you. May God grant to you, all these sincere. You say... Just--just keep standing, just...

L-233 You say, "I'm a church member, Brother Branham, but really I'm a Pentecostal; but when it really comes to really saying I can believe all that Word is the Truth, I just can't do it, but I--I want to do it. You help me, you pray for me. I want to stand up and say, 'I--I... '" You say, "Well, look, sitting here, or I have testified in this church, that I was." But you know, down in your heart, you're not. God knows you're not, too, see, so why not just stand. Don't lean to your own understanding, but lean to His Word.

L-234   Will you stand, some more? Anybody else wants to stand? God bless you. God bless you. God bless you, you. "God, help me." God bless you all. That's good. Just keep standing.

L-235 Say, "Will that do me any good?" Stand up one time, see if it does. Really mean it, "I want, Brother Branham, I want to be right. I want to be right."

L-236 Now, I'm not saying leave your church. No, sir. Stay right there where you're at, just be a real Holy Ghost filled person in that church. You say, "Well, I don't know what my pastor will say." He'll appreciate you if you are, if he's a man of God. That's right.

L-237 "Let your light so shine before man that they may see your good works and glorify their Father."

L-238 God bless you. Well, God bless both of you, and you; and you, brother, you. God bless you, each one. God bless you. God bless you down here.

L-239   Now you that raised up, if you feel better after raising up, just raise your hands to tell others that you feel better about it after you raised up. See, every hand. See? Sure, you do. See, you're sincere. You're standing up, say, "I'll be a witness."

L-240 "He that will stand for Me here, I will stand for him there. He that's ashamed of Me here before these men, I'll be ashamed of him before My Father and the holy Angels." Don't be ashamed of Him. Don't lean upon your own reasoning. Lean upon the Word of God. "He that will confess Me before men, him will I confess before My Father and the holy Angels."

L-241 Will there be some more, just before we pray? Let us bow our heads then. God bless you, sister. Sure. God bless you, and you, brother. Certainly. Would be another one, just while we have our heads bowed? God bless you, you. Now, that's right, you're still standing. We'll just wait a moment, just a moment. God bless you, brother. God bless you. Say, "Does it mean anything, say, 'God bless you'?" That's pronouncing my blessings to you. God bless you.

L-242   Some of you that's standing around the wall, where you have no room to sit down, would you just raise your hand, say, "Me, God, it's me"? God bless you, brother. God bless you, and you; and you, sister; and you, my brother; and you, my sister.

L-243 Oh, the Holy Spirit is so sweetly moving over the audience. Can you feel That? God bless you, young man up here on the platform. God bless you, over in the corner. God bless you, young fellow. Yes.

L-244 O Holy Spirit, move freshly in our hearts now. Show us our wrongs, Lord. We don't... We won't lean to our own understanding, our own reasoning. But we lean upon You, because we know that we're standing in Your Divine, vindicated promise of today. You have made Yourself known beyond any, beyond any reasoning. We could not reason nor explain it. But You've come right down here in our midst now, and made known to us that You are here, and man and women are believing that and accepting it.
