Jesus Christ The Same Yesterday, Today, And Forever
52-1027, Jesus Christ The Same Yesterday, Today, And Forever, Unknown, Edmonton, AB, 63 min




I'm thankful for this bunch of ministers here on the platform tonight, and many others of the groups that's represented here. And you're always very dear to me. You're God's children.
I've always knowed this, and I've found this in my life of ministry. If you'll... If you want to serve God, serve His people. That's how you serve. As we love one another, we love God. And I love His people, and I'm doing all that I know how to try to represent our Lord Jesus Christ to them in a way of His Divine mercies and powers that He has given to the church in this last day. [John 13:34-35], [John 15:12, 17], [I John 4:7-12]

And I certainly like the way he presented that, and that's the way that I've always tried to represent it to the people. But many magazines and so forth, has represented me as a Divine healer, and so forth. But, friends, that's wrong: I'm your brother. I--I'm no Divine healer; I'm just one of you, if you will let me be. God be blessed to bringing me into the fold. [Psalms 103:1-3]


Here recently, I was reading an article in the paper to see... And that's what causes many people... No doubt there's Fundamentalists and so forth, setting here tonight. I was raised--brought up, ordained in the Fundamental church. You know I was a Baptist. But here's...

Now, I'm not here to say that God didn't do that. See? God can do what He wants to. And I--I can't tell Him what to do. But if He did that, He certainly has got His Word mixed up then. And He certainly taken it away from Jesus Christ if He gave it to the man. Yes, sir. He... If--if you bought me a suit of clothes, and the purchasing price of that suit of clothes was fifty dollars; and you gave me fifty dollars, it's not yours any more; it's mine. See? And if He gave me power to open blinded eyes, to unstop deaf ears, it doesn't belong in Calvary no more, it belongs to me. I do what... Now, that might be all right. God might've said He did that. Now the thing I want to see it do; I want to see it work. That's... Then I'll believe it when it works. [Isaiah 53:4-6]

And as far as Divine healing... As soon as the boys come in, 'course the--the spirit of discernment... You understand. Many have been in the meetings, know what it was. The boy come in. I seen him come up to Mr. Baxter there; the boy's going to die right away if God doesn't help him, he has cancer. And he went down and talked to the boy...?... Said, "That's exactly right." See, it's... See, that's... Knowing things, that's different... That doesn't heal people. As many of you has been in the meeting this week at Grande Prairie. You see His Spirit do so forth, which is revealed and told to people, why, that cannot be hid. Now, that's... See, that's a divine gift, but Healing is in Calvary. See? It's your faith there.

How many has--has been saved in the last ten years; let's see your hand? been saved in the last ten years? Now, I don't want to different with you, but you wasn't saved in the last ten years. You were saved nineteen hundred years ago; you accepted it in the last ten years. Is that right? Exact. See? You were--you were saved nineteen hundred years ago when Jesus Christ paid the price for the sins of the world (Is that right?) at Calvary. And He was wounded for our transgressions; with His stripes we were healed nineteen hundred years ago. Therefore, every person in this building tonight, that's sick, has been healed since nine--nineteen hundred years ago when Jesus died. There's where God did everything that He could do for the human race, He did it in Jesus Christ. Do you believe that? [Ephesians 1:4]

Now, it's just like this: God pla--put the Blood of Jesus Christ in a deposit box at Calvary to heal all manner of sickness and diseases, and give every believer a checkbook with His Name signed on the bottom of it. The only thing you have to do is fill out the check and send it in for any redemptive blessings that Jesus Christ died for. You believe that? Don't be afraid.


How many believe that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself; that all the great powers that the Father had was given... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] all the powers of the Father? But when He met Satan, watch where He brought it to: for the weakest Christian here tonight, He never used any of His divine gifts. When Satan come to Him and said, "If Thou be the Son of God, command these stones to be made bread," Jesus said, "It is written,": the Word of God. "It is written, man shall not live by bread alone." [II Corinthians 5:19]
Again He was tested. And Jesus said, "It is written." The third time He was tested, and Jesus said, "It is written." Is that right? Right to the Word of God, showing that the weakest Christian can defeat Satan by, "It is written." If you'll believe the Word of God teaches it, believe it, accept it, hang on to it; God will bring it to pass. Don't you believe that? It is written. [Matthew 4:1-7], [Luke 4:1-13]

Now, and you're... And now, here's another statement I want you to remember. And you that--you especially here that's so sick setting here, these cancer cases and so forth tonight, look, that "The right mental attitude towards any divine promise of God will bring it to pass." Can you understand what I mean? "The right mental attitude towards any divine promise of God will bring it to pass." If you'll take the right mental attitude towards anything God has promised, God's under obligation to see that you get it. That's right, because He promised it. [Matthew 4:1-7], [Luke 4:1-13]

By the way, did you read the Writer--the "Reader's Digest" this month on the article was in there about my services in California? And they had it straight. I told the man when he come down, and he said there I didn't ask nothing but told the boy what was wrong with it and that's just a... But the medical help, if they'd be careful, the boy would get over that, and he did. The boy died later, but not with the disease. I saw a nurse had let a window up and get a draft across him, and the child taken pneumonia and died, but not with the disease. See?

I guess since we've been here, our... By God's grace and His... We've led to Christ, right in our own meetings, around 350,000 souls to Christ in--in the past five or six years. In one day alone in South Africa, thirty thousand raw heathens came to Jesus Christ in one single meeting in one day. Thirty thousand raw heathens, when they seen the manifestation of the Spirit of God given where the--where the witch doctors and everything else trying to find out what they could, and found that they were con--they were--couldn't stand before it, and give up, and surrendered themselves to God. And was thirty thousand in one day received Jesus Christ: and breaking their idols, washing their face, from Mohammedism and so forth, and become Christians in one day: after seeing a man walked on his hands and feet like a dog... I said, "Of course, I can't heal the man." No one knows that..." Or, I mean, "Everyone knows that, that I can't heal the man. But now, his life cannot be hid."

But I want you to notice this. How many has been in the meetings and has seen the way the Holy Spirit moves and works with the people? Let's see your hands? How He tells them what they done in their rooms. And they--they can't be healed; and they have to go and make these things right; and some things they've done in their life; and so forth. You've seen it in the meetings. It's... That's... It...




And Nathanael, a good man, he said, "Could any good thing come out of Nazareth?"
He said, "Come, see."
And when he was coming, Jesus, standing in the prayer line, perhaps praying for the sick, or whatever He was doing, and when He seen Nathanael coming up, He said, "Behold, an Israelite in whom there is no guile."
And it astonished the Israelite. And he said, "Whence knowest Thou me, Rabbi (Reverend, Elder, Teacher, or whatever we could call)?"
He said, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the tree, I saw you." Is that right?
Now, Nathanael didn't try to say, "Now, He's reading my mind. He's doing..." He said, "He's the Son of God, the King of Israel." [John 1:43-51]

She said, "Well, a... It's not customary for the Jews to ask Samaritans such; they have no dealings." And you know the story.
He said, "But if you knew Who you were talking to, you'd ask Me for a drink and I'd give you water you didn't come here to drink."
She said, "The well is deep..." and so forth. He... What was He trying to do? He was hunting her spirit. And as soon as He got in that dimension of where her spirit was, He said, "Go get your husband," right straight to her trouble.
She said, "I have no husband."
He said, "You've said well; for you have five and the one you have now is not your husband."
She said, "Sir, I perceive that You're a prophet." She runned into the city and told the people to, "Come see a Man Who told me all the things I ever did." [John 4:1-40]

And here come Jesus now. Now watch this, the--love--lovely One... Do you believe He loved the people? You believe He was the Son of God? He was full of compassion? He loved the people with all of His heart? Sure He did. Now, here He come full of love. Suffering humanity, oh, how He loved them. Here He comes down to this pool where this great mass of people is. [John 5:1-19]

Here stands a mother with a baby with a waterhead, perhaps: "Oh, somebody help me to get in the pool first with my darling baby." Jesus passes right by her.
Here is a man they had to carry; he was crippled and lame: "Somebody help me in the pool." He passed right by.
Here is a blind man: "Oh, have mercy on me; I've been blind for years. Somebody help me in the pool when the water's troubled."
Thousands of them, Jesus passed right by every one of them and went over to a man that had an infirmity for thirty and eight years: sugar diabetes, or TB, or something. The man could walk; he said, "When I'm coming down to the pool, another steps ahead of me." Is that true? Read St. John 5 and see if it isn't. That's right. Now, nobody doubts but what St. John 5 is inspired. You see? [John 5:1-19]

How could a loving Saviour... How could a Man with a heart full of compassion for the sick, how could the Son of God walk by such a massive mass of humanity, twisted, and lame... And we're even taught by historians that they stabbed one another trying to get in the pool first. How could a loving Saviour, full of love and compassion, walk by such a multitude and leave them lay there, and make one man whole that...? We'll just say for instance, he had sugar diabetes. How could He do that? [John 5:1-19]

Jesus plainly stated that there wasn't one thing that He did without first He saw the Father doing it. Is that right? Then He took on Himself. You see? He give all credit to the Spirit: God. See? And that's the reason He passed by. Watch. He knew the man. [John 5:19-20]

He said "He's dead, and for your sake I'm glad I wasn't there. But I go wake him." Look at Him at the grave. "Father, I said not this because... Thou hearest Me always." He said, "But I said it because these who stand by." God had showed Him a vision what was going to happen.
According to the Bible and Jesus' own words, He did not do one thing without first the Father showing Him by a vision what to do. Is that right? How many believes that's true now? Read it, St. John 9--or St John 5:19 and 20; you'll see it. Jesus said, "I can do nothing within Myself, but what I see the Father doing, that I do also." Then if Jesus Christ... He said, "The things that I do shall you do also. A little while, the world seeth Me no more, yet you'll see Me (the Church, the believer), for I'll be with you, even in you, to the end of the world," making Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever. [John 11:1-21], [John 5:19-20]

The world misunderstood it. The world called it psychology. The world called it the chief of devils. But the world will always call it that. But the church knowed Him to be the Son of God. You see what I mean? That's the reason that people misunderstand.
Theological teachings, and so forth, they get their books of rules, and get them out, and look them over, and say, "This is the way it's supposed to be: this and that." But it don't make any difference what man says; it's what God says about it. And then, if God confirms that to be the truth, then we believe God is truth. Is that right? The Lord bless you, Christian friends. [Hebrews 11:4]

There'll be people when if I--I come next June, that's setting right here, won't be here then. In a mass--a mass of people here... They said the hall seat about seventeen or eighteen hundred. There's probably two or three hundred standing; close to two thousand people then are in the meeting. In a group of people like this, some of you young people, perhaps, may be killed in accidents. Some of them may be stricken down and killed. The older people, many of them, they're days are about finished and they'll be gone. There's people here that I'll never see no more until I see you at the judgment seat of Christ. That's right. So when I stand there, as I did five years ago, standing here in Edmonton, I say again tonight, "I'm not ashamed of my testimony, because Jesus Christ has confirmed it around the world now." And they know it everywhere. That is true.


I don't have to... You don't have to question that no more. That's confirmed among--among as many as ten million people tonight. See? And that's the truth. Kings, potentates, monarchs, congressmen... How many heard the healing of Congressman Upshaw in the United States? Sixty-six years an invalid, made perfectly whole. I just stand there in the vision, and saw what taken place, and he was healed and made perfectly whole.

And how many people are in this building tonight, that was healed in the meeting when I was here before, that's still healed tonight? Let's see your hands. How many in here was healed in the meetings? Looky here. Just look over in the building there: thirty, forty, fifty hands from that meeting, then there, that's been healed, that's five years ago.

Now, you're setting in the same place that they set, many of you along here in this, cripples and afflictions laying on these cots and things here. See? You're in the same place. You're not expected to go to the camp of the enemy, but you're invited to the home of your Father tonight, to come and believe with a Christ, with a bloody atonement laying there before the Father tonight, to make good you're confession in Him. Jesus sets at the right hand of God to make intercessions upon your confession. You've got to accept it, believe it and confess it's so, to make it an act of faith. If you'll do that, if you'll...
The doctor's done all he can do. Everything else has done all they can do. You too, sister, and you too, young man, and you, you... All that could be done is already done. There's nothing can be done only--out in medical aid. Well, if they've done all they can do, then there's only one hope left for you, and that's in Jesus Christ. Take it. Believe it. Hold on to it: say, "God, if others can, I can too. And You're my God, the same as you were theirs." [II Kings 7:1-20], [Hebrews 3:1]

How many seen the picture of Florence Nightingale? It was yonder in London, England, when she only weighed about thirty-seven pounds. She couldn't even move her hand or nothing: cancer on the duodenum of her stomach. And while standing there praying for her, a little dove flew in, set down on the window and begin to go back and forth, a cooing. When I raised up, the--the ministers begin to say, "Did you see the dove?"
I said... I started to say, "I see the dove," and the Spirit of the Lord spoke and said, "THUS SAITH THE LORD, she'll live and not die." And she weighs a hundred and fifty-five pounds, in perfect health. See, see?
Now, the God that saved Florence Nightingale, the great-granddaughter of the late Florence Nightingale, the founder of the Red Cross, can save your life tonight, can save your life tonight, yours, yours, and many of the rest of you out through this building. Believe it, will you?

[Brother Baxter speaks (while Brother Branham is yet speaking), making an announcement about the moving of cars and exhorts the people concerning Divine healing and assembles the line--Ed.]...?... prayer, Brother Baxter, while...?... going to have prayer while they...?...


As this music is now sweeping out, and here's the people, I'm thinking of our good friend, Paul Rader, the writer. "All things are possible to them that believe." Now, here is people that's dying, Lord. Realizing that before God, we have to answer for our deeds that's done in this body...
In this hurry-up, rush time, the hour's getting late. Many, as we pass through in the--the line, may they be healed, Lord, every one. Grant just now, that the Angel of God, may come near. And may He bless every one that's been prayed for and will be prayed for. For He said, "Whatever you bind on earth, I'll bind in heaven. What you loose on earth, I'll loose in heaven." Grant, Lord, that those things might be said and done tonight, and there might be a great results from this meeting here. And we'll leave it to You, Father.
And seemingly there's a lovely spirit among the people, ready for a revival; then, Lord, grant this as a "go-light" for us, as it was. We'll return back then, if it's Your will, for a great revival where we can take time one by one, pray for many hundreds and thousands of people that's in need here in Western Canada.
Just now, may the Holy Spirit come near and respect the prayer of Your servant, for we ask it, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Almighty God, Author of Life, send Thy blessings upon this man, who I bless in Thy Name. And may this sickness of his body tonight be taken from him and may he go and be a well man from this hour on. May he be able to eat, and to live without fear, and--and be a man like he used to be, Father, and be healed and well in the Name of Thy Son, Jesus Christ, I ask this blessing. Amen.


Now, you see, the man... The man, I knew not, but the Holy Spirit comes here and tells him what's his trouble; what's he been doing; what he was doing day before yesterday at a certain place at a certain time; revealed all those things to him. Tell him what it was as you picked it up right here at the microphone, goes along now... I had prayer for him.
Now, it was just like looking, to me, as I might explain it. It's like looking on at something. The man faded away and got real little, and seen him as a little boy, and just watch down along like that through life. And then it moved away. When I had prayer, I didn't know what would happen. I just asked our heavenly Father. He told him about his conditions: he's got a prostate trouble that's caused him to have a nervous disorder, and he--also it causes him to get up at night, told about going into the bath... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]...?... You who live in his neighborhood, see if that isn't right now. See if that isn't...

Now, I wonder if you Christians would join with me in prayer while this whole entire audience joins in prayer while I pray. And some of the minister's here, that's along the line, also lay your hands on the sick." The Bible said, 'These signs shall follow them that believe." See? "In my Name they shall cast out de--" and so forth. If the Holy Spirit should stop on something another, I'd be glad to do it. But I won't be able to get the people prayed for unless I start praying for them. And 'course it catch the person's eyes, it starts right into discernment, of course, immediately as soon as a person comes up.
And now, I want you to pray with me. And how many up there will pledge that you'll pray, all over the building, while we're praying and singing, "Only Believe." Will you pray? You raise your hand.

Have faith sister. I pray, Father, that You'll heal her. She has a...?... may she go and be well through Jesus Christ's Name.
Lord God, I pray in the Name of the Lord Jesus, that You'll heal our sister. May she go tonight and be made whole through Jesus Christ's Name. Don't doubt, but believe.
God, be merciful to our brother, I ask in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, that You heal him and make him well. Grant it, Father, through Jesus Christ's Name. Amen. God bless you. [Brother Baxter speaks--Ed.]
God bless you now. Go serve the Lord with all of your heart.
Lord Jesus, I pray for this woman that You'll heal her. Grant that Your blessings come upon her and she'll be made well, through Jesus Christ's Name. Amen. Look, lady, don't fear no more; go believing now.
In the Name of the Lord... [Brother Baxter speaks--Ed.]

Suffer the same thing. Lord Jesus, I pray that You'll make her well. May she go tonight, healed, in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen. Now, just go thanking God and you'll get well, sister.
Father, I pray that You'll heal our sister and make her well as I lay hands on her, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
Dear Lord, I pray for our sister, that You heal and make her well, in the Name of Thy Son, Jesus. Amen. God bless you, sister.
Lord God, Creator of heavens and earth, send Thy blessings upon our sister and heal her in the Name of Thy Son Jesus Christ. Amen. God bless you, sister. The Bible said, "These signs shall follow them that believe."
Think now that you'll get all right? All right, you're sure. Lord, I pray that You'll heal our sister. May she go from here tonight and be made well, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. God bless you, sister.

I pray, Father, that You'll heal our brother...?... tonight, in the Name of Thy Son, Jesus Christ, I ask this blessing...?...
Lord, I pray that You'll heal our sister and make her well through Jesus Christ's Name, I pray. Amen.
God, I pray that You'll heal our brother and make him well...?... Jesus Christ's Name I ask it. Amen. God bless you, brother. Something's happened to you. Your deafness has left you, sir. Can you hear me all right? You're perfectly normal and you're healed...?... That's right.
Lord Jesus, I pray that You'll bless our brother and make him well, in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen. God bless you, brother.

Lord God, I pray that You'll bless our brother and heal him in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
God, I bless my sister in the Name of Thy Son, Jesus Christ. I ask for her healing. God bless you...?...
Father, bless our sister who I bless in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
I pray that You'll bless our brother, Lord, crippled up here, walking with a cane, may he be healed tonight. Make him a blessing, Lord, and a testimony, as I ask that he might believe, in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen. You believe, my brother? Put your crutch on your back and go on your road.

Heal our brother in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ...?... may he be well. Grant it, Lord. You are healed, brother...?... Go now...?...
God, I pray for our brother, that You'll heal him and make him well, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, that You'll grant this to him Lord. For Your glory, Father, I ask it.
God, I pray that You'll heal our sister and make her well, through Jesus Christ's Name.
God, I ask for the healing of our sister here, that she'll be made well through Jesus Christ's Name. I pray.
Ma'am? Yes...?...That's what...?... to me. God can heal...?... Do you believe He could...?... If God, by His grace will tell me what you've done, what your life is, would you believe then? If He--if He told you what you had been doing, and--and what your conditions are, and the way you've been acting and what you've been doing, you'll certainly know the truth. Is that right? You didn't know your condition was tuberculosis. You're healed now...?... You ask the men..?... 'course it's gone from me. If He knows what was causing that...?... But that, that doesn't make you have tubercular...?... You go on in your...?... [Brother Baxter speaks--Ed.]

God, I pray for our sister, that You'll heal her through Jesus Christ's Name.
God, I bless our sister, who...?... in Jesus Christ's Name.
Now look, well come sincere...?... and believing now while we are ...?... In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I claim her healing...?...
God, be merciful to our brother...?... through Jesus Christ...?...[Brother Baxter speaks while Brother Branham continues to pray--Ed.]

You think that I'm just asking His blessings on the people, they been healed. See? You might not see. Healing doesn't consist of excitement; healing consists of power. See? I've seen many who... It's not--it's not emotion. Healing... You just stomp, and scream, and cry at the demons; they won't move. But faith they recognize. See? That's just what takes place. You see? Watch the people; you'll see what I mean.

And she had a stomach trouble: told her she's going to get well: "Go home and eat what she wanted." Well, that she tried to do. And for about six weeks, it was horrible. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] Everything she'd eat, she'd vomit right up. And one morning, she was standing, washing the dishes. And she said just felt like something went over her: cool. She didn't know what had happened. In a few moments she felt like crying, so she started weeping. Then she said--got real hungry. And she tried to eat a little piece of toast. And usually she'd just vomit it up; and it--it--it didn't come up. Then she ate some oats that was there at the table. And they were all right. And she drank a cup of coffee; it was all right. Then she set down just eat a good hearty breakfast; it was all right.
She was so happy, she ran down to tell her neighbor woman, the one that had the lump on her throat, what had just happened. And her neighbor woman was just screaming to the top of her voice; the lump had just went off of her throat. And now, that was weeks later.

Now, what had happened, a blessing had been pronounced upon those people. And when... Now, that blessing... If I'm telling the truth... If I'm telling the truth... Which I don't think you have room to doubt; God is testifying it's true. Just the same as you'd walk to a minister and be baptized down in the pool, your baptism was essential. You'd believe that you were baptized, wouldn't you, in Christian baptism? It wasn't a minister, but he was ordained to do so. See? But that's just what I was sent to pray for the sick. If you'll just believe, you watch what happens. It'll take place. It's got to. I'd be...
