<TITLE>26. Par 274-284</TITLE>L-274 Said, "You know, I'm a poor shot." Said, "I couldn't hit nothing, but," said, "we--we really needed this meat at home." And said, "Just look at the big fine bunch of game that He give me, these birds and these rabbits." He said, "I got enough to keep us all next week." Said, "He must have loved me, 'cause I can't hit nothing, you know." Said, "I couldn't hit it, but just look what He give me." Then he said, "He must love me, or He wouldn't have give me this."
Said, "That's right."

L-275   And he said, "Well, I had a strange little knock at my door, down there. He told me to turn around, said, 'Gabe, your sun is setting, too.'" Said, "Pastor, you know what I done, pastor?" He said, "I made Him a promise."

L-276 He said, "Gabe, I want to ask you something." Said, "What sermon did I preach that made you feel that way?" He said, pastor, or said, "Now wait a minute," said, "what--what--what choir sang?"

L-277 He said, "Oh, I sure do love that singing down at church, pastor." He said, "I love every message you preach, 'cause it comes right from that good Book, and I know it's right. But," said, "it wasn't that." Said, "He just knocked, and I looked around here, and see how good He was to me, what He give me." He said, "Sunday morning, I is going to walk right up in front there where you standing." He said, "I'm going to give you my right hand," said, "because I done give my heart to the Lord, right down around the hill there." He said, "I is going to be baptized, and take my place right beside of my wife. And I'm going to stay there until the Lord calls me higher." See, he just happened to look around and see how good God had been to him.

L-278   I'm a missionary. If you could look out through the eyes that I'm looking through now, and see an Indian place, them little hungry people, mothers starving on the street, their little kids can't even cry no more, from hunger, and just think of what we had here today. Look at the cars you come in. Look at the clothes you are wearing. Look how rich you are. Friend, can't you feel that little knock there somewhere?
Let us pray.

L-279 With our heads bowed, and our hearts, as the minutes now are fleeting, of about seven minutes until midday. My brother, sister, science tells us it's less than three minutes until midnight. Now if you can just look around, and just think for a minute. Your little children setting there by you. How many little spastics...

L-280   Look at your nice wife, brother, and think how many man that's worth millions of dollars, and loves a woman with all of his heart, she is a barfly. He would give his cold million to have that woman love him the way your wife loves you. And you, wife, how many women...

L-281 How many mothers here this morning with their little children, how many fathers; why, my, there is many a man looking at a crib, a little old drawed-up, poor little thing, crippled, and look at what fine little children you got. See? And many a little old, maybe...

L-282 O God! There is so many things, if you'd just look. He has been so good to us Americans. Now can't you just feel that you'd like to have a little salve, this morning, "Open my eyes just a little farther, Lord, open my eyes"? As our sister so lovely sang, "His eye is on the sparrow, just a little sparrow, and I know He watches me."

L-283   Now He is watching right at you now. Can you just hear, down somewhere, a little knock like this, [Brother Branham knocks on something--Ed.], "I'm visiting, this morning"? It's the greatest honor that could ever be paid, if you can feel that knocking at your heart.

L-284 Will you just raise your hand, say, "By this, Lord, by Your help and Your grace, from today on, I'll live as close to You as I know how to live. That's all I know how to ask You"? God bless you. God bless you. "By Your help and grace, today, from today on, I'll never forget this."
"Lo, I stand at the door, and knock. If any man..."
