<TITLE>01. Par 1-10</TITLE>65-0822E, A Thinking Man's Filter, Branham Tabernacle, Jeffersonville, IN, 114 min
L-1       Thank you, Brother Mann. Seen you brought a brother. Lord bless you. "All things are possible, only believe." Let us pray.
O God, truly that's what our heart's desire is tonight, just only to believe. As we've assembled here tonight in the tabernacle, the sun setting in the west, we pray, dear God, that You'll let us realize how close it is that the sun is setting also upon time; it's running out. The day is far spent. And we remember one time when the day was far spent, two travelers bid You come in and stay with them. And then You made Yourself known to them by explaining Your Word and letting them see that what Christ must suffer, all these things first.

L-2 So we pray, God, as the day is far spent, that You'll come into our houses and live with us, and explain to us the Word, Lord, that we so graciously hold as a treasure from You, as a gift in our heart. May we never overstep It; may we always reverence It with all of our hearts.

L-3 We thank You for what You did for those in the hospital this morning, and what You did for Brother Capps' little boy that was laying, almost dying, and now here he is in the audience tonight. How we thank You, Father, for all these things!

L-4 Grant, Lord, that we may know how that we should give You praise. We just... It's beyond our understanding to know how to give You praise. But, Lord, receive our hearts as thanksgiving tokens, that we love You. And when we--we want to do what's right, show us what to do. We ask in Jesus' Name. Amen.
You may be seated.

L-5   Good evening to this great packed church tonight and out across the land on the telephones. They say they're hooked up again tonight.
I hope my wife is listening in. I didn't get to call her, so I'm going to call her after this service.

L-6 And we have a note here that this morning Brother Jackson's bro-... or father being in such a condition, that such an improvement's taken place, he may get to come home tomorrow.

L-7 Brother Capps' little boy, who he called me the other night, I don't know whether Brother Capps in the audience or not, but, and his little boy was very sick.
And just happened to be that Joseph and I was down to the--the shooting range, getting my little twenty-two rifle ready. I told you all about it last week. And he really going to be a real shot. And so he wanted be sure and tell Gary and Larry what he did. And he told me, coming back... I said, "You ought to stop in and--and tell Brother Gene Norman about it."
He said, "Stop and tell Billy first," his brother.
After he showed him what good shots he made, he said, "Now keep off of my feet." See?

L-8   And just as we got there, why, the phone rang, and Billy run in to ask... I said, "It may be a sick call now." And we just got in, and it was Brother Capps. And the little boy had peritonitis, and just a very little shade of a chance to live. And the Lord has healed him. And the other night said he's suffering with some kind of pains, Mrs. Woods was telling me. And we was leaving in a hurry, and I just... I said, "Mrs. Woods, it's so late now, ten o'clock, I doubt of them letting me in out there at the hospital." I said, "I'm going up home and just close the door." And I went up and prayed. And they say the little boy is in the audience tonight. So we're very thankful for that. And we're grateful.

L-9 Now we're holding on; we haven't heard yet. If Brother Leo Mercier and Sister Mercier is listening in, we haven't heard as yet from your father. We hope to hear in a little while, how he's doing. But I'm almost sure he'll be all right, so we're trusting that to Almighty God, that God will take care of that dear, old sainted man, an old veteran minister of the Gospel.

L-10   Now, oh, there is so many things that needs to be done, and such a short time to do it, so just put all of our efforts now in what we can do for our Lord.
