<TITLE>34. Par 344-352</TITLE>L-344 Father, I pray for them. But the stalk must dry, so I cannot pray for it; it must die, so it is dead. But I pray for the wheat, Lord, that's forming into the Body of Christ. Grant, Lord, that the fresh waters of God will keep Its cheeks bathed with tears of joy and understanding until the combine comes to take it Home. In Jesus' Name, I commit it all to You, Lord; the results is Yours. Amen.

L-345   [A sister in congregation gives a message--Ed.] Amen.

L-346 So Father, God, we thank You. And, Father, we pray for our little sister, handsmaid here, for her strength. I'm thinking of a time that when I--I walked in the presence of her, how that the Spirit came upon her and gave the same message that the Angel of the Lord gave on the River that day: "As John the Baptist was sent to forerun the first coming of the Lord Jesus, you are sent to forerun the second."

L-347 Seeing it shaping up now into the wheat part, God, we thank You for everything You've done. Our hearts are filled beyond speaking. I feel so full, Lord, I just don't know how to say anything else. But thank You Father, again, for all that You have done for us. Through Jesus Christ's Name.
I love Him,...
Let's just sing to Him, now. Remember, He's here.
Because He first loved me,
And purchased my salvation
On Calvary's tree.

L-348   Does it make you feel real little, real little? All emptied out, just ready for the Spirit, see.
Hold to God's unchanging hand!
Hold to God's unchanging hand!
Build your hopes on things Eternal,
Hold to God's unchanging hand!
Covet not this world's vain riches,
That so rapidly decay,
Build your hopes on things Eternal, (no denomination, now)
Hold to God's unchanging hand!
Hold to God's unchanging hand!
Hold to God's unchanging hand!
Build your hopes on things Eternal,
Hold to God's unchanging hand!

L-349   How many is trying to do that? Raise your hand. Now reach right across the table, put your hands in one anothers' hands, like this. Together... You can be seated, that's all right, or whatever you want to do. Listen closely. Let's sing it together now. This represents our unbroken chain of the love of God. We're holding one anothers' hands because we believe in God. We touch each other because we're brothers and sisters, the same vibrating Spirit, the Eternal Word of God dwelling in our hearts being made manifest.
When our journey is completed,
If to God we have been true,
Fair and bright our home in Glory,
Our enraptured soul shall view!
Hold to God's unchanging hand!
Hold to God's unchanging hand!
Build your hopes on things Eternal,
Hold to God's unchanging hand! (Spirit of the Lord!)
Hold to God...
Just get your mind on Him, see. This is the kind of meetings we must set in in the future.
... unchanging hand!
Build your hopes on things Eternal, (The Word is the only thing that is Eternal.)
Hold to God's unchanging hand!
Covet not this world's vain popularity, education,
That so rapidly decay, (Look at it today, what it's done.)
Seek to gain the heavenly treasure,
They will never pass away!
Hold to God's unchanging hand!
Hold to God's unchanging hand!
Build your hopes on things Eternal,
Hold to God's unchanging hand!

L-350   [A sister speaks in another tongue. Brother Branham begins humming Hold To God's Unchanging Hand. Another sister gives an interpretation--Ed.]

L-351 How we thank You, Lord. As we set in this solemn moment, almost like a funeral, for we're facing the burial of a dying, dead world; a dying, dead church.
O God, gather Your wheat quickly, Father. Come quickly, Lord Jesus.

L-352 Bless Thy people, Father, bring sincerity and deepness to the hearts of the people. May we get off of those fragile bubble dances, settle down into the deep riches of the honey of God. Grant it, Lord. Keep our hearts established with love and sincerity.
