How To Pray - Bro William Branham

Praise the Lord. So thankful for that, standing in the Name of the Lord. 312 Now, let the audience now, everybody bow your head. Each one of you now, in your heart, just talk to God like you would talk to me; like you’d come up and say, “Brother Branham, I—I…” If you’ve done something wrong, say, “I’m sorry, Brother Branham. I—I did this, will you forgive me for it? I’ll make a promise to you, Brother Branham, I’ll never do that against you again.” Now just change from my name, from me, to your Lord Jesus Christ. 313 And if you need healing, like if you’d come say, “Brother Branham, I—I am broke, I didn’t have any supper tonight, and, yeah, I know if you had a dollar you would give it to me.” Now, see, you don’t have to say to God, “If You’ve got healing power.” He has it, see. You’d have to say to me, “If you’ve got it.” But to Him you don’t have to say, “If You have.” He has! See? So you say, like, “Brother Branham, would you give me a dollar? I—I—I need something to eat.” Why, of course I would, you know that. If I had it I’d give it to you, anytime. I would have a horrible heart if I didn’t. And me, being a cruel, sinful man, and would be that good-hearted to somebody like you, what would God be? 314 “If you being evil know how to give good gifts, how much more will your Heavenly Father give them the Spirit, that ask for It.” “If you’d ask for a fish, would He give you a serpent? Ask for bread, would He give you a stone?” Certainly not! 315 Why, if you’d just ask Him in that way, with faith, believing that, you would get it from Him a million times quicker than you’d get anything from me. And you know I’d help you, I’d do anything I could. Any of these brothers would, we’d dig every penny out of our pocket to help you. We’d do anything we could. But this is something you’ve got to believe by faith. 316 Now, you believe that you’ll receive it while we pray, and you pray, and the audience pray, and I believe God will come down and honor our prayer. And the very minute that you feel that you have It, that God’s going to answer your prayer, then you made a covenant, “Lord, I did wrong, I won’t do it no more. I’ll raise my hand, I promise You I won’t,” God will take you at your word. And you just believe it that way and it’ll all be over. Then just raise up your hands and thank Him, “Lord, I’ve made my vow. And I know that it’s Yours, and You promised to answer it, and You can’t fail.” 317 Heavenly Father, we, Your servants, stand over this group that has come forward needing Your blessings and Your attention at this time. Father, they are trophies of the Message, the evening Light time. Many of them, Lord, are confessing. Some of them are desperately in need. I pray, God, that in Jesus’ Name that You will not turn one of them away, because You’ll keep Your Word. I’m bringing Your Word to Your remembrance, Lord, as Peter did and the disciples when they prayed in Acts 4, they said, “Lord, remember the Word! Why do the heathens rage and the people imagine a vain thing?” 318 Now, Father, we bring Your Word. You said, “He that believeth on Me has everlasting Life. He that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out. He that heareth My Words and believeth on Him that sent Me has Eternal Life, and shall not come to the Judgment but has passed from death unto Life.” 319 Oh, make our requests known to God, and He will answer us. He’s abundantly…“He that will confess his sins shall have pardon. He that hides his sin shall not prosper.” And we confess our wrongs. I confess the wrongs of the people. I confess my own wrongs. I ask for mercy. I ask for healing. I ask for grace. I ask that You’ll pour out the Holy Ghost, Lord, right now upon these waiting people, that their lives will be changed in the molding block of God, and will be shaped in the image of the Son of God, that the Spirit that quickened Him, that will come into their body and make them sons and daughters of God. Grant it, Lord. 320 We believe that You are present. We believe that You’ll honor Your Word. We believe You’ll honor the efforts of the Word. Now send these blessings upon these people as they’re waiting for Your Presence to visit them here at the altar. In Jesus’ Name. 321 Now, if you believe, and believe you received, raise up your hand to God. If you accept it as a prayer of faith and your vow as you now turn to God, raise up your hands. 322 And let the audience stand. Everybody, stand, that wants to make a pledge to God, now say, “I believe It. I accept It. I believe It.” 323 Now raise your hands and give Him praise and it’ll all be over. Glory to God! Thank You, Lord Jesus, for Your goodness and Your mercy, and for all that You have done for us, Lord. We give Thee praise through Jesus Christ.
