L-70 Millions, I've preached I guess directly or indirectly, over ten million people around the world. They know it. And science knows it, because they took a camera and set it around in America and one in Germany, and took the picture of It. That's Light.
It's in the book here. It's not a very good one. It's not mine. It's copyrighted. The American Photographer Association in Houston, Texas, owns it. I buy it. I usually have them in the meetings to sell, just what I get them for.
I--I don't take money. Don't... I don't need money. Just little love gifts people give me once in a while I'll live by; that's all I need.

L-71 Be reverent. Keep praying. I can only say what I see. I wish that my audience... I hope you do not judge me wrong as the servant of God, as your brother. Christ, the Holy Spirit is here. He is present now. And as... What is it? I'm just yielding myself. And you just yield yourself. And God can use us when we get ourselves out of the way, if we're gifted for certain things, like a minister preaches.
I'm not a preacher. I can't preach. I'm uneducated. But I... My gift is revealed through the Holy Spirit. Here it is. And in Christ's Name I take every spirit in here under my control, to the glory of God.
I only wish you could see what I'm looking at. There is the Light going over a man. He's praying. The man that's saying, "Lord, let it be me." He's wearing a blue and red tie, setting right here. You, you believe me to be His servant? If God will tell me what you're wanting from God, will you accept it? You will? Do you have a prayer card? You don't. You got kidney trouble that you want Christ to heal. If that's right wave your hand back and forth like this. Receive it then in Jesus' Name.

L-72 Have faith in God. Don't doubt. Believe with all your heart. You believe now, He's raised from the dead? Aren't you happy you received Him a few moments ago? There's no other religion in the world can prove their founder. They're all dead and in the grave, but Christ rose. Christianity can prove right here that He's a living. When anybody says...?... Mohammedan and the Buddhists said, "Let me see you produce what He said, bring them to the meeting.
Something's happened, hasn't it, sir? What did you touch? Not me. You hear what he said? How did I know what he was praying for...?... God bless you, my brother.
Have faith in God. Just pray. Don't doubt. Isn't this wonderful? Now, just be real reverent. Don't move around. Just be reverent. See where He will come again. It just looked like it just... You... Oh, that...?... No, you can't explain God. [Mark 11:22]

L-73 Here, it's a little lady setting to my right. She's wearing a white hat. She's praying, "Lord, let it be me." She's setting right here beside of a woman that's crippled or something, on the end of a row. Do you believe, lady, that you've made a contact with God? You do? You believe me to be His prophet, His servant?
If God will tell me what you're praying for, will you believe it's the same Christ Who could tell the woman at the well where her trouble was? You would believe it? You're wanting Christ to deliver you from an asthmatic condition. If that's right raise up your hand. Amen.
There seems to be a man associated there somewhere. Oh, it's the lady setting next to you? It's a... The woman was praying, it's not for herself. It's a little lady with a sweater. She's praying for someone else. That's a man, isn't it? He's not here either. It's your father. He has arthritis. Raise up your hand if that witnessed the truth. You have a prayer card, lady? You don't? May you go home and find your father as you have believed in Christ's Name. [John 4:18]

L-74 Someone here, just really pray. There He stands. Oh, if you could just see this Light moving and stand over... There sits a little lady way back here towards the back. She's putting her handkerchief up to her eyes. She's got a little white hat on, a little thing on her shoulder.
She's suffering with a nervous condition. And she's been in and out of hospitals, and she's had operations. That's right, isn't it, lady? Stand up just a minute, lady. This is the lady right here...?... Others are praying in front of you. I've never seen you, lady. We're total strangers to one another. Is that right?
You believe me to be His servant? Do you believe that He died and rose again, and He's come back in the form of the Holy Spirit, and performing the same works... And you touched Something... Now, look. You were praying that I would call you. Isn't that right?

L-75 And now, just a moment till I can catch the vision again. Yes, I see you all upset about something. And I see, yes, it's operations. And operations has made you nervous. That's right, isn't it? And you're not from this city. Neither are you from this state. You're from Michigan. That's right.
And you're praying for someone else. And then I see you as years have passed back down your life. And you're holding a little baby in your arms, and the baby is blind. It was born blind. You've become a Christian. You prayed for the baby. The baby had received its sight, and now it's quite a lad. And it's going blind again. And you're wanting Christ to heal that baby.
And that you might know that I be God's prophet, the baby looks very pale, the child does. It's real white headed, pink tongued. It's an albino child. That is true. And your name is Eleanor. Sullivan is your last name. That's right, isn't it? Take that handkerchief that you wiped your tears with and place it on the child. Don't doubt. And receive what you asked for in Christ's Name. [Acts 19:12]

L-76 Are you aware that the Holy Spirit is near? Just be reverent. It seems to be right at the lady setting next to her. That Light is moving over the woman. She's got her handkerchief up to her mouth. Stand up, young lady. Right next to her. You were praying yourself. Do you believe me to be His servant? You believe that the Spirit that's on you now... Isn't that a wonderful feeling? Love, meekness, patience, It's the Holy Spirit.
Yes, you are praying for a condition that's in your body called a hernia. That's right, isn't it? Now, I see a man up here by you. And it's dark around the man. It's your husband. He's unsaved, and you're praying for his salvation. That's THUS SAITH THE LORD. Take that handkerchief you have in your hand, slip it under his pillow. Don't doubt, but believe. You may be seated.
Heavenly Father, we thank Thee for the Holy Spirit. Thou art the great I AM. We pray that You'll be merciful to many here tonight, and let them know that it's You, the great Father of our spirits. Amen. [Galatians 5:22-23], [Acts 19:12]

L-77 Oh, how wonderful Jesus is. Pray. He is the High Priest of our confession, to make intercessions in the Presence of God for our confession. And everything that He died for is ours, a free gift, if we will accept it and confess it, and deny everything contrary. Oh, He's standing now, that Light; the Pillar of Fire, the emerald Light, the Shekinah Glory of the Presence of God.
It's over a man with a light suit on setting right back there, way back towards the back. He's on the outside seat. And he's got some kind of a vocal condition in his throat. Stand up, sir. You believe? All right. That's it. Do you believe His promise will heal you?
Seems to be a man behind you there also. Set down just a moment, will you? Standing near... All right. Now, you set down just a moment, sir. Both of you need... You're--you're a Mr. William Caraway. Stand to your feet. You're from Sidney, Ohio. That is right. Your faith has saved you, sir. Go home in peace and God be with you. Lay your hand on the man in front of you, 'cause It touched the man also. In Jesus Christ's Name, may they receive that what they have asked for, for God's glory. [Hebrews 4:15]

L-78 What about the balcony? Are you believing up there? God is up there the same as He's down here. Are you believers? Have faith in God. I challenge your faith. Believe with all of your heart. Oh, how wonderful the Lord Jesus... Now, are you satisfied it's not mental telepathy? Are you satisfied it's the Lord Jesus? I trust that someone in the balcony makes God our help up there.
It's over the lady setting right straight in front of me with the black dress on. She has a goiter. That's right, lady. You're not from this city. You believe me to be God's prophet? If the Holy Spirit will tell me where you're from or something about you, will you believe Him? Will all in the balcony believe?
While I have contact with the lady through the Holy Spirit. You were praying, wasn't you, lady? And here's another thing you might know, and you prayed for this before you left home. You're from another city near Dayton, something like that. It's a smaller place called Miam--Miamisburg. That is right. Do you believe now? Then go home and be healed in Christ's Name. [Mark 11:22]

L-79 Are you believing, everyone? Do you believe His Presence is here? He's omnipotent. And He's omnipresent. He's all around everywhere. Believe on Him now and be healed. I want you to do something for me. There It is again. Bow your heads just a moment please.
Our kind heavenly Father, oh, to know Your Presence is here now, how You are proving that You have raised from the dead and that the Bible is God's infallible Word. You're the High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities. And we're so thankful for it.
And You had to make a way to prove that Scripture. And tonight it's been fulfilled, for Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. O God, how we love You. How we worship You. You are in our midst. The shout of the King is here. The great Jehovah Who marches on and time does not bother Him, He marches on through eternity. He's Eternity through Eternity, the Everlasting I AM, the Creator of heavens and earth, the Author of every good gift, and the--whatever that is good in all of heavens and earth belongs to You.

L-70 Now, Christ had the Spirit without measure. Now, that was Christ, the whole ocean. This little gift that's in your servant here, brother, is just a little drop out of the ocean. It's in measure. But remember, the same chemicals that's in the entire ocean is in that spoon, that little drop. But it's not as much of it. See? And so our ministries are the chemicals that's made up in the--the great economy of God. And God can use those chemicals the way He wants to. It's just not as much of it. But all together, it's more of it than was in the one. See, the Fullness of God is in His Church. But we have the Spirit with measure--with, by measure.
Now, that's what makes the weakness. That's what it is that--that takes place. That's the reason I don't stay long on the platform. That's the reason they watch me. I faint almost. I go... Now, it seems like stepping off the world. You're coming out of another world. You're coming down here. But what does it declare? There is a land beyond the river, brother. Beyond any shadow of a doubt, we're not in any kind of a fiction. We're not in some kind of a mythical, hoodoo hypnotism. It's the resurrected Christ proving Himself. [John 3:34]

L-71 Standing that night on the platform after three or four went by, here come a blind man and he stood. Then I'm closing. There was a blind man came by. And he was blind. It called his name, told him who he was. And then, under that anointing, you can feel the spirit; I can feel it in the meeting there where... You can tell where that darkness, coldness, indifference is setting (You see?), like that. But I used to, I'd call them out. I'd say, "What are you disbelieving for? You--you so-and-so, you Presbyterian preacher." And the first thing you know, if you root up the weed, you pull the wheat with it. So it's best just to leave it alone. See? Just go ahead, do your work. "What's that to thee. Follow me." See? Just do what you're supposed to do and then go ahead.
L-72 So then, I didn't mean altogether Presbyterian. Many times, Pentecostal preachers (That's right.), unbelievers, just as much as there is anywhere else, brethren. That's right. So then, when they a... Now they'll come to you. That's what hurts. They'll come to you, "Brother Branham, we love you." And you know that's wrong. See them right there and watch that spirit, feel it. Just set and talk to the man a few minutes and watch that vision work above there. I--I'd rather not see it. I'd rather not know it. I want to believe his testimony's right. And when... See, it creates something in you. What would I call that? Well, it's something that... It creates a distrust that you don't want to have. You want to love them anyhow. You see? And then that's the reason sometime, I'm a little misunderstood and think that I'm an isolationist. I'm not. I love my brothers. See? But, I--I want to have that, keep that love in my heart. I never want it to be broke. See? Every man loves me, and I love every man. That--that's the way it is. You see? I want to do that.
L-73 Then, and when this man came, It told him who he was. Said he was a beggar, and he was a worshiper of the sun. You've heard of it. And told him that he had been blind twenty years. Just... White as my shirt, his face. That was right. He said that was right. And as I looked to the audience, there sat the rajah, ever what it was, and them people there. They thought it was the working of a telepathy or something. You could tell it. And I said, "Is there a doctor present that would like to examine the man?" Which there wasn't no doctor. You could see he was totally blind. You see? And I said to him, "Sir, there's nothing I could do for you." See, I done told him who he was, and that was right. Told him he had two children, and that was right. Told him how long he had been blind; that was right. And told him that he was seeking relief for his eyes, a healing. And that in his heart, he said that he would serve any God that would make him well. See? He would serve any God that would make him well. Now, here's what I say for your, that you know your God now, brother. See? Any God that... [I Kings 18:36]
L-74 And there they set with at least fifteen different religions setting around: worship of flies, worship of cattle, worship of this, worship that. You know how India is. It's just full of superstitions. And there they set in that condition, all around. And I thought, "Oh, God..." And I said, "Now, here is the man. He's blind. I... There's nothing I could do to help him." I said, "God knows that." And as I looked, he appeared with his eyes looking around, you know, in the vision, rubbing his eyes, smiling.
Oh, brothers, oh, I only wished I had the vocabulary now or the--the something within me to let you see and know what that means: such a feeling. See? It's no longer a faith I have to use. It's a drama. God has already said it. All heavens and earth will pass, but His Word won't. All the devils out of hell couldn't stop it now. God has said so. See? That settles it.
Like when He told me yesterday morning up there. Oh, I don't care: let the waves roar; that has nothing to do with it. The little boy in Finland, all the many places, when God has said so, that settles it. It's THUS SAITH THE LORD then. See? Watch it.

L-75 I thought, "Oh, God, how I thank You. You're still Jehovah. You're still the Almighty." Then I--then I knowed my position. I knowed where I was standing then. I don't care how many devils that he sent; They--there's no failure then. God has done said so. You feel like Elijah on Mount Carmel, standing right there when he hollered to the prophets of Baal, "Maybe he's gone on a trip. Maybe he's pursuing." Elijah said, "I've done this, Lord, at Your command." He knowed exactly what was going to happen. That's the reason he could say it.
Oh, brethren, our religion is not a fiction. It's not some Santa Claus story. It's a real living Jesus. Don't be afraid to put Him to the test on His Word, 'cause He will keep His Word then. That's right. He will keep His Word. [I Kings 18:17-40]

L-76 There when I seen that I thought, "Oh, God. As it was in Africa, now You're going to do it in India." And I turned to the audience. I said, "Gentlemen of the religions of India." I could not address them as brethren, because they wasn't my brethren. "Gentlemen of the religions of India, you were telling me today in you temple down there..."
Oh, how God always makes a way. Yes, sir. Don't fight. Just let Him have the way. Just let Him alone. You just walk on. Follow Him.
Oh, how God always makes a way. Yes, sir. Don't fight. Just let Him have the way. Just let Him alone. You just walk on. Follow Him.
L-77 I said, "Today I was astonished in your temple, when you told me how great your gods was and how fictitious mine was. How that the man never died, He got on a horse and rode up to heaven." I said, "But he died, and yet He rose again." I said, "Here stands a man of the worship of the sun, who testifies of being blind for twenty years." And I said, "He is now here seeking his sight." I said, "Surely, the God Who made him, the Creator who made him," I said, "could give him back his sight."
I said, "Now, of course, you are--you--you Sikhs, and you Jains, and Mohammedans, and Buddhists, and so forth, you say that He's wrong." But I said, "What would you do? You'd say, 'Come over to me.' What would you do? You'd change his way of saying his prayer." I said, "What would you do? You would only change his philosophy." I said, "You--you would have him to worship something else, or do something, or change of his way of praying." I said, "We have the same thing in America," I said, "but that wouldn't help the man." I said, "You'd only proselyte him."
I said, "Now, of course, you are--you--you Sikhs, and you Jains, and Mohammedans, and Buddhists, and so forth, you say that He's wrong." But I said, "What would you do? You'd say, 'Come over to me.' What would you do? You'd change his way of saying his prayer." I said, "What would you do? You would only change his philosophy." I said, "You--you would have him to worship something else, or do something, or change of his way of praying." I said, "We have the same thing in America," I said, "but that wouldn't help the man." I said, "You'd only proselyte him."
L-78 And I said, "If he come over here to change from a worshiper of the sun, which you say... He worships the creator--creation instead of the Creator. That's what he did, and through ignorance he did this. But what would you do if you made him a Jain? What would you do if you made him a Mohammedan?" I said, "Why, he would be no better off. He's still blind, and you would only change his--his---his philosophy, his way of praying, change his idea, change his denomination." I said, "We got the same thing in America. All the Baptists wants to convert every Methodist he can to the Baptist church. And every Methodist wants to covert the Baptists. And the--the Baptists to the Presbyterian, the Lutheran. The Pentecostal wants to take them all." And I said, "That's the way it goes. But I said, "What is it? It's purely psychology." It's right. But I said, "We have one God where you all have many." But I said, "That's the way it is in America. They're proselyting, and pulling, and fussing, and everything trying to get all to come this, all to come to this, a build a million more in forty-four and all these slogans and things like that." I said, "What is it? It's pure human psychology in building up of organizations."
L-79 And I said, "I challenge." Excuse my emotions. "I challenge the Buddha priest to come forth and give him sight. If you'll do it, he will be a Buddha from this on, and I will too." I said, "I challenge the Mohammedan priest to come forth and give him his sight. He will be a Mohammedan from now on, and I will, too."
Oh, brethren, our God lives. Here in America, you don't come face to face with these things. You have to get into them lands to really... There's where they're watching. See? There's where you've got the showdown. Oh, you can say, "I--I can prove... I belong to a big organization." That has nothing to do with it, brother. That's right.

L-80 I said, "I challenge any religion here to come and give him his sight, and he will join your religion and so will I." I said, "Surely, the Creator Who made him, if He'd seen that he's worshipped the creation instead of the Creator, surely He would bring him back to his right conditions, to bring him right, if He did this through the ignorance of his worship." And I said...
That was the quietest crowd I ever talked to. Thousands just as far as you could see laying there on each other, and piled together. It was quiet. Every man set on his pillow, of the great priests and them. No man made a move.
I said, "Then gentlemen, why don't you say something?" I said, "Today in the Jains temple, you told me how little Christianity was, and how it was in the minority." And it is. Mohammedans are greater and that more by third or fourth, taking Catholics and all of us together. You told how little we was. But now, how big are you?"

L-81 Oh, we know then. I would've never said that, brother, God knows that, if that vision hadn't have been there. No, sir. But God had said so, and that settled it. That was the same thing that took place in Africa. Certainly, I knowed it wasn't me no longer. I was just His mouthpiece. There it was.
That's the same thing that took place in Finland when I raised the dead boy. You've read the story. Certainly, that's right. He's God. He don't tell His servants all things, but when He wants to use you, He can put His hands on you, take you here and do it. If you'll just be humble and stay in your position, He can make more glory out of it, than all the diddle-dattling along you can do or I can do. That's right. Abide in your calling, and stay in there till God's ready to move you somewhere. That's right.

L-82 There, when he stood there, I said, "It's awful quiet." I said, "Why? Because you can't do it and neither can I... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... God of heaven, Jehovah God has raised up His son, Christ Jesus, Who has stood here by me this night and showed me a vision that this man is going to receive his sight, and it's, THUS SAITH THE LORD. If God doesn't give that man his sight, I'm a false prophet." And I said, "Then my religion I'm representing, I'm falsely representing Christianity. But if the God has said this; then if He does it, how many here will forsake your superstitions and serve the living God Who can restore the sight to the blind?" And as far as you can see, those hands raised in the air. See?
There's the showdown. That's the proof. As the old saying, "The proof of the pudding is the eating thereof." There it is. Not our theology and not our psychology, but the truth of the real true Creator Who made the heavens and earth. And as the Holy Spirit brood us from the earth, surely the brooding of the Holy Ghost can restore us back to our right conditions.

L-83 And there standing in that place, turning then with a heart just assured as much faith as I believe I could walk to that microphone. Yes, sir. Because, not 'cause it was me. No, brethren. That had nothing to do with it. It was Jehovah God ready to move on the scene. That's right. And He'd just showed me by a vision, through a gift. And He wanted to use it at that time. Surely before a bunch of heathens that He would use His gift. There, standing there, walked up to the man and put my hands upon his face, like that.
And I said, "Heavenly Father, You Who showed the vision a few moments ago," I said, "I feel like Paul of old when he was on the ship, and said, 'Be of a good courage.' See? For I know that You'll give this man his sight, because Thou has said so. And I have spoke Your Word and I... With all the wisdom I have, I have made each one promise that they would receive you as personal Saviour if You would do this. Now, God, the God Who made the heavens and earth, now You Who raised Jesus from the dead, as we can stand and see gravitation lose its power, for He's the center of gravitation as He raised that cold form body out of the grave and sent Him into glory. Now, let it be known that You're God this day. I ask it in the Name of Jesus Christ." [Acts 27:22]

L-84 When I held my hand there, and when the prayer, of course wasn't interpreted, when I dropped my hands, the man looked. He let out a scream. He grabbed me around the waist. He grabbed the mayor of the city and begin hugging him and kissing him. He was just--could see as good as any man setting in here. I'm telling you: a frantic, a scream went from those people, and the whole thing went into a turmoil. Two or three hours later, they got me through the crowd with a army there trying to push them back. I had no pockets in my coats. My shoes was gone. They'd pulled every clothes off of me, nearly stripping me, screaming and crying. And the next day with sorrow. I had to leave India with a promise that I'd be back again.
But, brother, the commandments of Jesus Christ is just as true today, and just as vital. He's just as much resurrected today as He ever was. And He is the same Lord Jesus, and He's with us today. Don't be afraid; trust the Lord. Amen.

L-85 Let us pray. Heavenly Father, as men and women are setting here together, who are--we are associated in this same blessing. And as I'm so happy to stand as the--today to tell them what their great Saviour is doing in other lands to men who doesn't--hasn't had the privilege of the great visitation of the Holy Spirit... I pray that You'll bless these men and these women.
O eternal God, these ministering gifts that's in this group this morning, they belong in Baptists, and Methodists, and Presbyterian, and Pentecostals, of different phases and things. Oh, God, may this fellowship that we have this morning in one thing common, may this never leave them.

L-86 And may, whatever position You have placed them in, and ordained them into Eternal Life, and given them their positions, may they serve reverently. For some glorious day, Jesus shall come, and all the sorrows and troubles of this world will be taken away, and we shall see Him. We'll have a body like His own glorious body. And when we sit together over yonder on the other side, oh, what a day it will be. Oh, may each minister in here, may his--may his pulpit, may his sermons, may his ministry be inspired greater. Grant it, Lord, if I have found grace in your sight.
And as my brethren stand here this morning. Oh, I pray that each of these ministers in here, these ministering spirits, that, God, hear my prayer. And I pray that You'll purge that gift that's in them. If they're preachers, make them better preachers. If they're evangelists, make them better evangelists. If they're teachers, make them better teachers. If they're pastors, make them better pastors. God, grant that they will be filled with the Spirit of God, and will be energized by the great super Vine, that'll give them Life Eternal, and power to minister with, and to touch the needy world as it so needs today.

I am sorry to keep you long, brethren, but it's way late. It's half past ten. No, it's quarter till eleven. I--I'll pay the extra...?... I am sorry, but I love you.

L-72 Now, with your heads bowed just a moment... What was your condition, sister? Oh, the throat...?... I--I honestly, I--I don't see any difference. I want you to notice a growth, a little lump that was setting right here in this little vein placed in her throat right here, has been taken away by the Lord Jesus just now. A little lump about like that, sticking here on her throat has been taken away by our Lord. Let us give Him praise and say, "Thank you, Lord." Praise be to God.
[Brother Vayle says "Stroke condition, Brother Branham."--Ed.] Oh, stroke...?... Now, sir, we know that only God can do this. And I--I know that He did die for that purpose. And now, I... The angel of the Lord sent me to pray for the sick. That I know. Now... And told me if I'd get the people to believe, and be sincere, that He would heal the sick. Not because I prayed, but because His Word would be fulfilled.
Now, will you praise Him if He will heal you, give Him all the glory for it? I pray that He will grant... Now, is the...?... Have you been here nights before? This is your first night. You've never seen the visions of the Lord work.

L-73 Now, I'm going to ask each one to bow their heads for this paralyzed man with a stroke, that you will pray with all your heart with me, that our prayers together might help this poor dear brother. You are a Christian.
Now, kind heavenly Father, we are so in love with You, and we know that Thou has all the power in heaven and earth. And I'm thinking of this dear man, standing here dragging this foot and this arm hanging down, swinging at his side. Satan has determined to afflict him and stop him. And we are praying with all our hearts, asking that the love that is within our hearts for him will be projected to Thy throne, and there may the sovereign grace of Christ return, and touch his body, and take away this stroke. O blessed Saviour, may our faith be strong. And may our brother get well, in Jesus' Name we ask it.

L-74 And now, I'm going to ask the audience if they will just keep their heads bowed, just a moment. Please don't look, 'cause in doing so, you just interfere just a little. Would you just keep your head bowed? I don't know that God will touch the man. I do not know. I'm just asking Him. And please now, if you hear my voice, keep your heads bowed.
Now, I'm going to ask you to...?... I'm going to ask to raise the...?... Raise your hand up. Could you have done it...?... All right, you may raise your heads. He has dropped his hat; his hands are up; his feet is loosed; and God has healed the man. Walk back up this way. You may go off the platform happy. Walk like a young man...?... Let us say, "Praise the Lord."
Here's the lady with the braces on her has just taken them off. Thanks be to God. Amen.
Let us say a prayer, pray a prayer to God of thanks. Heavenly Father, in Jesus Christ's Name we give Thee praise, thanks for all that Thou has done. Thou art the living Christ, and we ask Your eternal blessings upon those who are waiting. In Jesus' Name we ask it. Amen.

L-75 [Brother Vayle says, "This is Sister...?... going blind from kidney infection--Ed.]
Would you come, sister? Now, please pray; it's hard to hold the vision. See? But I--I... Visions is a--a prophetic gift that sends the Presence of the Holy Spirit through the audience, and you receive it. This is a gift of healing. The Angel of the Lord... Have you read my book? He said with a... And I haven't exercised this for some time. But He said, "If you'll get the people to believe..."
I said, "They will not believe me because I'm uneducated."
He said, "You are given two signs to do before the people, and by this they will believe you."

L-76 And Dr. Lee Vayle, setting today, telling me how that he watched me up in Portland, Ore, or Washington, in the big Ice Arena, and in Vancouver, how that the people were healed. He said, "Brother Branham, what has happened?"
I said, "The people rally for the visions."
He said, "Is there any way that you could...?... off just for a little bit and exercise the gift that God has given you?"
I said, "He told me if you'd be sincere nothing should stand before the prayer." And I believe that I have, maybe, passed over many things. The American people must have hands laid on them. That is their way.

L-77 Now, sister, blindness is an horrible thing, and I certainly wouldn't want to see you blind. But Jesus of Nazareth touched the blind man by the Jericho gate, and he received his sight. You believe that God will heal you tonight? Now, let us bow our heads just a minute.
O merciful Father God, in Who we love and trust, we give to Thee praise and glory. In the presence of this audience we thank Thee for Jesus Thy Son, and praise Thee for His atoning grace for us. And if Thy Presence is here healing the sick and making the afflicted well... And now, this our dear sister comes in confession of her faith, knowing that's she's going blind. But she has come to Thee, and as Your servant I lead her to Christ, and with my hands upon her as a commission of God, I ask that the blindness go from her eyes, and the infection leave her body, and she will remain throughout her life with good sight. In Jesus' Name this will pass.

L-78 Now, with your heads bowed, with your eyes closed just a moment. Now...?... Now, sister, not knowing how well your eyes were, I want you to look up toward me. Do you see all right now? Do you see me well? Can you see me better, different from what you did when you come to the platform? Could you tell me at this time how many fingers I have up? What say? Can you believe that your blindness has ceased? Can you read that now?
All right, you may raise your head. The lady could not read; she was going blind without her glasses. And here she now can read the Bible. And she couldn't... Can you see all right now? Raise your hand if that is so. Now, let us give God praise and thanks for His goodness for healing the lady.
Oh, our hearts are happy Father, for Your healing grace...?... And may our beloved sister be completely well from this night on. May it never bother her no more. May her doctor write out his testimony of how the infection left her body. We pray in Christ's Name and give You thanks. Amen. God bless you, sister, and I believe you'll be all right.

L-79 [Brother Vayle says, "This is Mrs. Brown of Adrian, Michigan. She has a stomach trouble--Ed.]
Stomach trouble, that is a horrible thing, sister. In eating, the nervous system lays in the stomach, and when the stomach sours, the food doesn't digest right, and it's an awful thing. I suffered so much with it when I was a young man. But, then the Lord healed me. And I'm sure He would to you.
You are a Christian, and you believe the Lord will make you well. And you're conscious that I'm just your brother, but Jesus is the Christ; He's here to make you well. Shall the audience bow their heads and pray with me now.
Now, kind heavenly Father, as this nervous little lady comes here, with her head bowed... And she knows that You are the great Physician. And her love is reaching out...?... it can. And that's why she's standing here. Her love is reaching out. And Thy love reaches down. And when love is projected like this, surely sovereign grace will take its place and heal her. Grant it, Lord. I ask it in Jesus' Name, and for His sake, and this lady. Amen.
Now, sister, of course right now, in nothing visibly could we show you could eat, that your stomach is healed. But do you believe that it is healed...?... with all your heart? All right. Now, you just go ahead and eat, just like you always did, giving God praise. And you give us your testimony. Will you do that? Thanks be to God for your healing. God bless you.

And she is here to believe, and to accept, and to send forth her love to Thee, to walk out before these people tonight, before men who could pray for her, believing that Thou will condemn the disease of her body and will extend her good health to her. O God, with all my heart I pray that You will grant this blessing to her. In Jesus' dear Name I ask it.

L-60 All right. Now, as we're praying. Now, I want... Now, if you'll be real reverent... I'll tell you why. And to you brethren that were taking the pictures...?... don't take them now. See, this is a Light.
Real bad to hear that report. There was a lady here last evening who was a crippled, setting in the audience (the ushers left some staying.), that was setting in the audience, and she wanted to get into the prayer line, but could not. And she just looked up, and I prayed that she'd receive it. And was instantly healed and walked out whole.
I understand the little lady with the polio here, I walked in the room the other day passing through the building. I offered a little prayer for her, and someone tells me... Now, this is just what someone told me, that she got a feeling in her foot, and begin to itch or something, and...?... That's God moving. See? Life is coming back, the curse being taken. See? Just keep on believing, that's all. You're feeling better, aren't you? Amen. That's good. Ask so many of these...?...

L-61 Now, to every one here, you are total strangers to me, as far as I know. I... Right here's a, two men setting here that I know. And there's somebody else... The doctor standing right down there. I know the doctor. And I know him, and Mr. Wood, and Sister Vayle here, are friends of mine that I know; and my son standing over here. My daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wood setting back in this section here by the posts. That's all that I know in the building now.
But did you know that Christ knows every one of you. Excuse me, Sister Vayle, the doctor's wife. I see you setting there. But do you know Christ knows each one of you? Now, here is a purpose... Now, don't lose it now. This is the last night. This is the purpose. Listen to me. Christ has healed every one of you when He died at Calvary. It's your faith in His finished work. No matter what the condition you need, it's your faith in what He did.
Now, the thing you do, is just accept Him as personal Healer. Now, if Jesus is here tonight, and you say, "Jesus, come here and heal me," why He could not do that. He's already done it. The Bible said He did. He was our Redeemer. Did He? It's all done. He said, "It's finished." He's already been wounded for your transgressions, and with His stripes you were already healed. The only thing He could do would be to cause Himself to be here. And how would He do it? In a miracle. [Isaiah 53:5]

L-62 Now, are you the lady? You're supposed to come here just a moment...?... Now, be real reverent. You can walk just a little closer if you will, lady. Here stands a lady, and she's, of course, wearing glasses. We know there's something wrong with her eyes, except they be reading glasses. A person past thirty-five, forty years old, they're actually their eyeballs get flat, and just use reading glasses for close reading. That's the regular procedure, like your hair turning gray or anything else.
But she looks healthy to me, and she's a stranger to me. I never saw her in my life. I suppose that's it. We're strangers to each other? If we are, so the people would understand, raise up your hand?
Now, here is a picture again, of a Bible picture. This is...?... Our Lord Jesus, in Saint John 4, was talking to a woman that came out to get some water at a well. He'd never seen her. And she came to get some water, and when she got the water and started to put it on her head to walk away, our Lord Jesus said to her, "Woman, bring Me a drink."
And she being a Samaritan, and Him a Jew, there was a law of segregation, so she said, "It's not customary for You to ask such. We have no dealings, the Samaritans and Jews." He packed the conversation a bit till He caught her spirit.
And when He did, He said to her... He found out some trouble she had. And we believe in America, I know the eastern idea is different, but we believe in America that she had five husbands. The Bible said she did. And Jesus said, "The husband you got now is not yours, and you're living with him." So there must have been something wrong. [John 4:7-9, 18]

L-63 And when the disciples found them, it wasn't no disgrace for a man to talk to a woman in public, but they was astonished that--that Jesus talking to such a person. The Bible said they was. So if the eastern idea is different from that, why, it's all right. Whatever it was, it was a woman talking.
And the woman... He said... He contacted her spirit, and He found where her trouble was. And He said, "Go, get your husband."
She said, "I don't have no husband."
Now, watch. She witnessed she didn't have a husband. But Jesus said, "You've had five, and the one you have now is not yours." The lady said the truth.
What did she say? "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet." Is that right? Now, watch what she went on to talk. Then she said, "We know that when the Messiah cometh..." How many believe Jesus was the Messiah of God? Certainly. She said, "We, the Samaritans..." She was a religious person that went to the church and knowed the laws anyhow.
She said, "We know that when the Messiah cometh, He will tell us this, or all things." But she couldn't make out Who He was.
He said, "I'm He that talks to you, that speaketh to you."
And she run into the city and said, "Come, see a Man that told me these things. Isn't this the Messiah?" [John 4:16-19, 25-29]

L-64 Now, if that was the sign of the Messiah then, and He's the same yesterday, today, and forever, it's the sign of the Messiah now. That is to the believer. But what was that sign to the big high orthodox church men? A devil, a fortuneteller, a Beelzebub, a mental telepathy. It's the same sign to them now.
"Little while and the world sees Me no more, yet ye will see Me. I'll continue. I'm not going to die and just stay dead. I'm going to raise again, and I'll be with you, even in you, to the end of the world. I'll be doing the same thing right on down to the end of the world."
Why, if that sister is...?... then Christ Spirit come down, if she is a believer, and He produce Himself again, and find out what she's standing here for. Is that right? And if He does do it... The woman could be an infidel; she could be an agnostic; she could be here for a frame up. Watch what happens. [Hebrews 13:8], [John 14:19], [Matthew 28:20]

L-65 How many were here where that man, they hired him to come and hypnotize me, said he went to these army camps and made people bark like a dog, and--and hypnotosis ever what you call it? Hypnosis, or I don't know whether I speak it right or not. Hypnosis, I believe it's called. Anyhow, even hypnotizing soldiers and make them bark like dogs and things.
And somebody hired him to come and hypnotize me. And when the anointing come down, I felt that odd spirit. I thought it was a--a devil at first. I looked around for a fortuneteller. And I watched, and I seen him setting there, and those eyes looking at me.
I thought, "Is that right? I turned again. I begin to watch. They interrupted. I walked out there out there, and seem like the Holy Spirit said... I turned around where he was; I said, "You child of the devil, why has the devil put in your heart to come do this thing. God rebuke you." And the next day, he was paralyzed, and he is yet today, and that's been about three or four years ago. He's still setting paralyzed...?... All I know, that was yours.

L-66 Remember that man that night, up here across on the Canadian line. They went up there and put on his prayer card a whole lot of things that he had, TB and everything, and walked up here. I said, "There's nothing wrong with you."
Said, "Oh, yes there is. Look on my prayer card."
I said, "That has nothing to do with you. The usher's got the prayer card." I said, "There's nothing wrong with you."
He said, "Oh, yes, there is. There's something wrong with me."
And I said, "Well, maybe you had faith and was healed."
He said, "That's what it is then."
And I turned and looked, I thought, "Strange." I seen a room open up before me. And there stood a woman standing, looking down on two men. One of them went on a gray suit with a red tie. And the other man setting across from him, had his back to me. There was a green spread hanging over the table. And I heard them say, "Aw it's just nothing but a telepathy, and we will prove it, and we'll show that he's wrong."

L-67 And he belonged to a certain denominational church that I would not call the name. And when he come back, and the vision left, I said, "Why has the devil put in your heart to do this?" Why I said, "Man, aren't you ashamed of yourself being a preacher? And last night you set with your wife and another man, which is setting right there in the balcony, setting in there with that red tie on in the gray suit. And you set in a room last night, and said that you'd go over and write so-and-so on your prayer card...?... thought the usher was...?... to me, mental telepathy."
I said, "Now, the...?... And grabbed...?... on the platform by my pants and I said, "The thing that you put on your prayer card, TB and so forth, is on you now." The man died about a year later. That was the...?... Many of you's heard that. How many's heard it, let's see your hands. Many of you out there. Certainly. We're not playing church. It's the Holy Spirit. You be reverent.

L-68 This woman's a stranger. I never knew her. I never seen her in my life. God knows her, I don't. But I'm professing this: and my contentions is that Jesus Christ has raised from the dead, and is yet the same today as He was. He will keep His Word. If He's God, He's got to keep His Word. I believe the Word infallibly, I believe it.
Now, be reverent. Be in prayer. And I want to talk to the woman just a moment. And if He will perform the same thing here that He did back there in the Bible time, every one of His promises, you'd believe and would accept, anything that you got need of, you believe He's here to give it to you? Is that right? If God will do this, it's a sign to you that He's here to give you just what you're asking for. The only thing you lack is to believe.

L-69 Now, let us look to the woman. May... As a Christian and talking, the spirits of... Or the Holy Spirit's in a gift. One gift is preaching. That's an evangelist. Another gift is prophetic, which is altogether a different gift. And to be preaching and switch to something else, it's another anointing, but the same Spirit. You understand.
Now, you and I being strangers, we never have met each other, and you being the first person here, I'm just trying to contact your spirit. And it's exactly just right, exactly what I'm trying to do. That's right. Because you're a woman, I'm a man, and we've never met before, and here we are before several hundred people.
And now, God's Word is at stake, that Bible says that Christ promised what He promised that--that we... He'd do the same, He'd live in us, and He would work through us, and do the same things that He did back in the...?...

L-70 Now, don't be afraid to put God's Word to the stake. But I perceive that you are a Christian, because your spirit begins to feel welcome. See? The Holy Spirit's here, and now it's a gift. It's a brother and sister now...?...
You're aware that something taken place just then. If that's right just raise your hand so the audience can see? That's... Did you ever see the picture of that Light? That's what's right around you just now.
Now, the lady, if the audience can still hear my voice, she is a believer, a real believer. And I see her: she's doing something, but she's real nervously about something, like she's dropping something or something. She's bothered with nervousness. That's her trouble. She has a nervous condition.

L-71 And she's all upset about something now. That is, she had been to a--a doctor. And that doctor was looking on her breast, and he found a place like that keeps gathering, like a growth. Now, see that that little white thing or something, he turns your back, and there's something on your back near your spine. And he says that you need an operation for it. That's THUS SAITH THE SPIRIT.
That is true. You believe? Now, Something's here that knows you. I don't. Something knows you. He said, "These signs shall follow them that believe." Come and let me pray for you.
Our heavenly Father, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Thy Son, I bless this woman that she may receive every blessing she's asked for, and send her home happy, rejoicing, praising God in Jesus' Name. Amen.
God bless your loyal heart, lady. Go rejoicing, happy, and thanks be to God. [Mark 16:17]

L-72 Would you come, lady? You believe? Now, has He raised from the dead? Now, you look this way, lady. The anointing is on. Amen. Oh, what a feeling.
I feel just like it was that day when that, after two years, that little boy in Finland was supposed to be raised from the dead. How many of you read the story? Standing around the little dead boy laying there, hundreds standing around, and I said, "THUS SAITH THE LORD. I saw a vision of that baby, and five minutes from now he will be on his feet, or I'm a false prophet." There he raised and leaped to his feet, praising God, living yet today. He's Christ. He can't die, and remain Christ.

L-73 Now, the lady standing here is another stranger. We don't know each other. If that's right, raise your hand. Have faith now, don't doubt. Believe. All right. If the Holy Spirit can reveal to me what you're standing here for, the very thoughts and desire of your heart, will you accept it? You will?
You know as a man, I couldn't heal you if you're sick. And if you are, if I could and wouldn't do it, I'd be a brute not a man, if I could help you and wouldn't do it. But I can't help you. But I'm trying to do all I can to get in the Presence of Him Who can help you, 'cause you're my sister. You're a Christian believer. That's right.
Now, the Lord said to Nathanael, "Behold, an Israelite in whom is no guile."
He said, "When did You know me?"
Said, "Before Philip called you, I saw you." Way away. [John 1:47-48]

L-74 What if I told you I seen you from way away, too? You're not from this city. You're from another city called Cleveland, Ohio. That's right. And I see a doctor appear. And the doctor's looking somewhere in the chest or the throat. He says it's a goiter on the inside. And that's just been recently. And he set a time for operation, that's two weeks from now for an operation. That's right. Is it? It has to be. Will you believe God?
Our heavenly Father, the little lady desires life. And I pray as I lay hands on her that You'll give to her the desire of her heart. I pray this prayer in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen.
God bless you now. Go on your road happy. God--God bless you, sister.

God bless you now. Go on your road happy. God--God bless you, sister.
L-75 Do you believe? All right. Be real reverent now. Someone was healed in the audience just then. I didn't catch it. Just be real reverent. I saw the Angel of the Lord, which is the Christ of God. It's a Light.
How many knows that the Angel that followed the children of Israel was a Pillar of Light or Fire? How many knows that was Christ? How many knows that He said, "I come from God, I go back to God." Did He say it? And when Paul met Him after the resurrection, what was He? Pillar of Fire again, the Light. That right? It's what the Bible said. That's what He is.
Now, be real reverent and pray. All right. This the lady? How do you do, sister? I don't know you. You know that. But we're strange to each other, but God does know. [John 13:3]

L-76 Now, just be reverent and don't think I'm beside myself. I am not. But I can only say what I'm seeing. And now, just believe.
Well, you are come to me, and we're years apart, and probably born miles apart and years apart. This is our first time to meet. But do you believe me to be God's servant? You believe that what I teach from the Bible is the truth? And you believe that the claims that I make...
The reason I say that, lady, you remember when Jesus saw a vision of the resurrection of Lazarus, He was on His road back to get Lazarus to raise Him. But He asked Martha, when she come out on the road, she come out to meet Him, He said to her...
And she said, "If Thou would've been here, my brother would not have died."
He said, "Thy brother could rise again."
And she said, "I know in the last days."
He said, "I'm the Resurrection and Life." See? And He said, "I'm the Resurrection and Life. He that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. Whosoever liveth and believeth in Me will never die." He said, "You believe this?"
She said, "Yes, Lord. I believe." [John 11:23-26, 32]

She said, "Yes, Lord. I believe." [John 11:23-26, 32]
L-77 She believed that He was what He said He was, the Messiah. And He is the Messiah tonight. I'm just His servant. But the Angel Who spoke to me and sent me here, said, "Get the people to believe you, and be sincere when you pray."
I said, "They won't believe me."
He said, "By this they will believe you. This was given at birth, when just a little baby boy.
I said, "They won't believe me."
He said, "By this they will believe you. This was given at birth, when just a little baby boy.
L-78 You are suffering with a--an arthritis. I see you can't hardly get around at times. Then you have heart trouble. That is right. Then you have something that makes you sick; it comes from your right side. It's gallbladder trouble, because you have...?... like of a gallbladder. That's the truth. Is that...
Now, I cannot heal you. Neither do I know what was said. But Something was talking to you. That wasn't me, 'cause I don't know you.
Now, do you believe, audience? Now, more you would talk to her, more would be said. Now, not for a public show, God doesn't do things that way. But for the glory of God, that you might understand, through a Divine gift, may I talk to her some more? She's an elderly lady. And I'd like to talk to her just a little more.

L-79 Now, the lady seems to go from me again. Yes. I see that it's some kind of a vomiting and...?... It's the gallbladder. And I see you, you're not from this city. You're from a--a city that's right off a canal...?... or something. It's Spencerville. That's where you're from. And you live on a street called Main Street. Your number is 401. Your name is Mae Miller. You believe me to be His prophet, His servant? Let us pray.
O God, Who raised up the Lord Jesus, I pray that You'll heal this woman, and make her well in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen.
God bless you, sister. Have faith in God. Do you believe? [Mark 11:22]

L-80 Now, here is another case: a colored woman and a white man. This brings back the case again to the Saint John 4. And down in the south, they have a segregation between the white and the colored. And this makes the scene just right. And then... Jesus let her know though, that it was no different. God makes no difference; we're all His offspring.
I do not know you, lady. And here we are, man and woman, first time ever met in life, even a--a different race. But God knows us both. You are a believer. And if God will reveal to me what your trouble is, will you believe it? You do? Will the audience believe? May the Lord Jesus grant--grant this.

Heavenly Father, in Christ's Name, grant their faith be sufficient now to do that which they are desiring, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
Jesus said, "I can if you believe, for all things are possible to them that..." Oh, if you could just see what I'm looking at. It's a little lady setting there with, looking at me. And she's praying. And she knows that she has contacted the Holy Spirit. She's moving her lips and praying. She is now praising God, for she's been suffering with a throat trouble. She's got a little turban like on her head; she's got a little white thing. That's is right, isn't it, lady?
And I see someone else holding to her throat. It's the lady setting next to you, with the long like hat on, has throat trouble too. I'm speaking to you, Mrs. Miller. See? Now, do you know who I'm talking to? All right. I never seen you in my life, and never knowed you. If that's right raise your hand? See, see?
Oh, how we thank the living God for His goodness, for His mercy endureth forever. Just have faith. Just believe. [Mark 9:23]

L-82 Now, little lady, you setting there that just wiped the eyes, from weeping. Something touched you, didn't it? You never touched me. But you touched Him. And that big bandage they put around your arm and said you had high blood pressure, that is right.
