L-101 Virtue, strength had gone from Him. And He just stopped. He seen Simon didn't know it and the rest of them didn't know it. So He just looked around over the audience until He found that woman. Maybe setting way back...?... He told her her blood issue had stopped because her faith had saved her. Is that right?
Now, how many knows that the New Testament said that Jesus Christ, right now, is a High Priest, setting at the right hand of God, that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities. How many knows that's true? Say, "Amen." [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] All right.
Then is He the same yesterday, today, and forever? Then how would you know you touched Him? How would He act? He'd act just like He did then if He's the same.
So you without your cards, or whatever out there in the audience that won't be up here tonight, you just pray. And say, "Lord Jesus, I believe You're that High Priest that they're talking about. And let my faith touch You tonight."

L-102 Now, if you touched me, it wouldn't do no more good then touching your husband, or touching your brother, or--or--or your son, or whatever it would be. See? That wouldn't do a thing. Touching me, that wouldn't be a thing. But you just touch Him, and watch what He does.
You say, "Brother Branham, how would it act?" By a gift, just giving myself over to the Spirit. It does the talking. See?
Now, this microphone is a perfect mute. It can't speak. It don't know how to speak. It takes something to speak into it to make it carry the sound. Is that right?
Well then, every one of you here's strangers to me. The only two people I know up here at all is these--this man setting here that was with me this morning, and Brother Gene Goad, this man over here, and Brother Hall. That's the only ones that I can see in the building. My wife isn't here tonight. And that's the only ones that I know. But Jesus knows every one of you. Is that right? He knows every one of you. And He promised in the last days, there would be light. Just like it was at the rising of the sun, it'll be the same in the setting. Is that true?
Now, you just touch His garment, if He shall come and help us.

L-103 And how many of you is strangers here? That never seen It before, would believe on Him? And say, "It would make me believe to see Him act just like He did when He was on earth." Raise up your hand, say "I--I'll believe Him." That's strangers that wasn't here before. All right. That's fine.
How many has been here before and seen Him do it? Let's see your hand. See? It's just practically everywhere. All right. Now, you believe.
Now, remember, if one person comes, and He heals that person, He's--He's got to do it to the second person that comes on the same ground. That's right. If you'll just believe it. It takes your faith. Say, "What about all that group there that day? Just one woman touched Him." That's the only one that could believe it. Are you that one out there tonight? I hope you are, every one of you. Now, just remember...
Now, Father God, I've spoke of You, I've tried to put it in a little story form tonight, in a drama so that even the little children would understand, that they could tell their little school mates and so forth, and all could be prepared for the coming of the Lord.

L-104 Now, I have spoken, testified of You. That's all I can do; I'm just a man.
But now, Father, just one word from You will mean all, more than all of us could do in many life times. Just one word. They know it's the Scripture. They know it's the truth. They know it's from Genesis to Revelations.
Now, You made a promise that the coming Messiah in this day, would come back into the church and do just as He did the--when He put... Just the coming of the headstone, the building would be made shaped for it.
I pray, God, that it'll be so again tonight. For we ask it in Jesus' Name, as I submit myself to You and take this congregation and every spirit in here, under the control of the Holy Spirit, in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen.
All right. Now, have faith. Everybody be reverent. Set quietly. Don't disbelieve, but believe with all your heart.
Now, now's the showdown. I've preached it. How many knows it was the Word? Now, if any of you doubt, why your welcome to come here and take my place if you want to?
Some minister here say it's not right. It isn't right, then you come up here and take my place and do the same thing.

L-105 If I cast out devils by the Word of God, who do you cast them out by? See? If you can do better, why, come on; I'll set down. I'm wanting to see the people get healed. You got it? See? It's a promise of God. And if He will keep this promise...
Now, we know... Let me make this clear. There's no man can heal another. There's not even medicine that heals you. No doctor will tell you that, if he's a real doctor. Medicine does not build tissue; medicine keeps clean while God builds tissue. He has to create. Tissue is created. See?
So he don't... Doctor doesn't heal a bone; he sets a bone. God heals the bones. See? Only God can heal. And now, He's already done it. Just to get the people to believe it, that's why.
If it would be me, if I told you and you didn't believe it, or if you told me and I didn't believe it, let him go. But not God, He's a good God. He keeps on sending gifts and puts in His church after His Word to confirm His Word and make it true so that He's just and honest.

L-106 Now, this lady standing here... Or I guess you're the one, to--to be prayed for. Now, here stands a woman that I have never seen in my life as I know of. We're strangers to one another, I suppose. You saw me. I prayed for you in Tennessee. Well, I'm so glad of that. But to know you, I wouldn't know you, wouldn't have no way of knowing you. All right.
Now, this lady says, if you didn't hear me... And by the way, ever who the engineer is on this, when the anointing comes, and if I don't speak loud enough, step it up so they can hear it. 'Cause, you see, just going back in somebody's life for years, and seeing what they've done, and your just looking what's going on there, you're--you're not even conscious that you're standing here.

L-107 It isn't me. How could I do that? It's totally impossible. It's a--it's a perfect miracle if it would be done. It's beyond any human reasonings, unless you take the Word of God for it. Certainly. It's the greatest miracle.
You say, "Well, here's someone setting here that had a lame foot; we prayed for him and he got to walking." Well, that could be psychology. That's right. But this can't be. It has to be God. Nothing else can be that way. Exactly right.
So now, if I prayed for you, and that... But I don't know you, and I don't know nothing about you. I have no idea what you're here for. And you just like... Somebody I prayed for here would come to me in several years from now, and say, "I was at Richmond, Virginia, and you prayed for me." Oh, my, I've prayed for tens of thousands times thousands of people. You see?
And anyhow, if you would come to me tomorrow and the anointing comes and the vision come. You'd come to me tomorrow, I would know nothing about it.

L-108 See that boy setting there, he's taking recordings. That's how we can keep a record of it. Isn't that right, Brother Goad? That's the only way I know it. See? Because it's not me speaking. I--I've confessed and hold my hands that I don't know her. See? But if you were sick and I laid my hands on you, said, "The Bible said they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover." That's what we been doing for years. But we're closer home now. See? Christ is being more manifested to us.
Now, if He will tell me something that's--that's been in your life, well, then, if He tells you what has been, you'll be a judge to know whether that's right or not. You'll know; you can tell this audience if it's right or wrong.
Well, then, if He does that, and knows what has been, surely He'd know what would be. Is that right, audience? He would know what would be. Now, now, I don't know that He will, but I trust that He will. And if He will, God be praised.
Then, every one of the audience, as we're standing here, open, flood lights down upon us. We stand here, nothing but the Word of God laying here before us, God Hisself. We're in His Presence before five or six hundred people or more, I guess, and whatever the little place seats. And here we are. It did before five hundred thousand one time, three hundred thousand another time, and hundreds of thousands other times, all kinds of nations and peoples and tongues. See? It has to go everywhere. He has to declare Himself before He comes. [Mark 16:18]

L-109 Now, this is just like it was in the Bible time when our Lord met a Samaritan woman, and we're man and woman meeting here. I don't know you, and you only know me by passing through a line one time.
Now, if He reveals to me what you're here for... Maybe it's sick again, may be domestic trouble; it may be financial trouble, I don't know, but He does. But if He will reveal to me what you're here for, you'll believe it, won't you? And the audience will believe it? Will you believe it? All right. May He grant it.
Now, if the people can still hear my voice, the woman's going from me. Yes, I see you; you were healed. You were healed in my meeting. You had arthritis and you was healed. That's...?... That's true.
Now, you've got something wrong with a leg. You fell and hurt your leg. That's what you're--that's what you're here to be prayed for. If that's true, raise up your hand. Just raise your hand so that this...

L-110 Do you believe? All right. I don't know why it is, but I keep... Now, what you're thinking, I catch it here. See? Did He look upon the people and perceive their thoughts? That's right. Well, see, that's Him; it's not me. I've done told you, I... It's me no more; it's Him now. That wasn't me that told her that; that was Him that told her that,'cause I don't know her. God knows that.
Now, they keep thinking I guess it. I don't know why it comes, but it's coming from somewhere. Yes, I do see where it's coming from now. I ought to call it. Am I right? See if it was.
Yes, yes, I see you had a fall and hurt yourself. You hurt your limb. And you've tried everything for it, liniments and everything else, but it won't work. This is going to work.

L-111 You've had a lot of sorrow. You've lost a loved one. That was a daughter. That's right. If God will tell me who you are, what's your name, will you believe me to be His prophet, His servant? Mrs. Wathen, you go believing. Jesus Christ makes you well. God bless you now. It's going to be all right. The soreness will leave you; you'll be all right.
Do you believe with all your heart? Now, I ask anybody, how could I ever (Whatever was wrong with the woman...), ever did it? There's got to be some kind of a supernatural Being here doing that (I'm a man. Is that right?), Who would know the woman, what she has done, where she has been, all about her, and things like that.
Now, if we'd stand here, and the longer you stand, more it would be said. But you see, that one--that one vision taken more from me then that hour and a half of preaching did. See? You're taking in, now you're giving out.

L-112 Just think, if one woman touched His garment and she--He said, "I perceive that virtue's gone from me." What would me, a sinner saved by grace, do to me? See? Because Jesus said, "The works that I do shall you do also, and more than this shall you do..." I know the King James says, "greater." But it couldn't be greater. It was more of the works that He could do. Get the original Diaglott, and see if it doesn't say more. See? For it's the same Spirit.
Now, this lady is a stranger to me also. I do not know you. But God does know you. If God will reveal to me something that's your trouble, will you believe me to be His servant? Now, you're aware that something's happened just then. See? That was that feeling and like sweetness like, quiet. Now, if that's right, just so the people will know, so that they'll know that I'm not telling nothing wrong; I seen that Light drop right down over you. That's right. Now, if you feel just like a real sweet, humble feeling around you, raise up your hand so the people see it. [Mark 5:28, 30], [John 14:12]

L-113 But you that's got the picture here, we got it. That Light that you see in the picture, God is my Judge, is right over the woman now. See? Yes, sir.
She's here not for herself though she's nervous and upset. That's right. A little lady's trouble's bothered you for a while. But the main thing you're here for is somebody else. That's your husband. He's partially paralyzed, got trouble in his back and in his leg. That is right. Do you believe with me that God will make him well? Go, and as you have believed, so shall it be unto you. You go believing. God bless you. Put that handkerchief you have in your hands on him. Just believe with all your heart.

L-114 You and I are strangers to each other lady, I suppose. We do not know each other. But God knows us both. Do you believe me to be His servant? With all your heart? If God will reveal to me something that's wrong, will you accept it to be from God? It's your back, you're leg. It's caused from an accident. All right. That's all it takes to make you well. Go, believe now; just have faith.
Do you believe with all your heart, lady? You believe that Jesus Christ will grant the request to you? 'Course you're wearing glasses. Anyone would know that. That's been a long time, since you can remember. That's been all your life.

L-115 But really, that's not what's on your heart: something else on your heart. That's for somebody else. That's right. You believe that God can heal her, make her well, your mother? She has palsy, shaking. That's right isn't it? Go, believing; it'll be the way you have believed. God bless you.
You believe now with all your heart? Does it settle it with you? Are you convinced? Now, what is here? The very One that walked in Galilee is here tonight. What is it? He's just using you and I. Now, no matter what--what would be anointed on me; it's got to be on them too. See? It's got to be on them also. You believe that? Just have faith. Just don't doubt; believe.

L-116 How do you do? We're strangers to each other, I suppose. I do not know you, but God does know you. Somebody else appeared in the vision just then when It started on the woman. You believe me to be His servant? The things that I have said is right? If God will reveal to me what your trouble is, will you accept me as His servant? All right.
You got trouble in your back, that's one thing. Another thing, you're shadowed for death with a cancer. You believe that He will heal you and make you well? You do?
Somebody else you want prayed for too, isn't it? You believe He'd heal him too? That's your husband. He's setting out there. You believe God can tell me what's his trouble? Will you believe me as His prophet if I do tell you that? He's got intestinal trouble says the doctor, intestinal trouble. If you believe he will be healed too.
But here's the greatest thing you need. You need salvation for your soul. Will you accept Him as your Saviour and believe on Him with all your heart? Both of you need it. Will you do it and believe with all your heart? You will accept Him as your Saviour now for your healing? Husband, will you accept Him as you Saviour? God bless you. You're both saved and healed. Go home and be made...?...

L-117 You believe? You say, you have no right to tell them they're saved. I guess if the God can tell me what's wrong with them, He can tell me whether they're saved or not, can't He? Certainly. Oh, do you love Him?
You want to go home and eat your supper, get over that stomach trouble and be made well? Go eat. Jesus Christ makes you well. Have faith.
Come, sir. You want God to heal you of that back trouble? Just keep on walking, saying, "Thank You, Lord Jesus." And be made well."
Arthritis, nervousness, and things. You believe He will make you well? Say, "Thank You, Lord."
How many believes with all your heart? Believe; don't doubt. Just have faith with all you're heart.

L-118 They say you have number one killer. But heart trouble isn't number one killer. Sin is number one killer. So you're rid of both of them now. So you can go and be made well. Have faith.
A nervous stomach, it's well. Go, believing.
I see you trying to get up of a morning, putting your feet out and seeing if you can get up all right, or not, that old same, crippling devil. Go, believe now and it will leave you. Arthritis will go away from you.
You'd have to be operated on, lady, if it wasn't for God. Do you believe that He can perform the operation? You thoroughly believe Him, surrender your whole life to Him and the tumor will be gone? Do you believe that? Go; as you have believed so be it unto you. Just go believing. All right.

L-119 Come, lady. Got a nervous condition, stomach. Go, believing; just have faith.
Come, lady. Do you believe with all your heart? Just a moment, something happened. Just be reverent; just wait just a moment; be reverent. Oh, what a moment. Is he... It's a woman, appeared, not like this woman; she was thinner, but is in the audience. God help me. Yeah, here she sets right here. Got something wrong with your hands. Do you believe that God will make you well, with the hand trouble? All right, your faith saved you.
Say, by the way, put your hand on that woman setting next to you there. She has heart trouble. That is right. Raise up your hand; receive Christ as your Healer. God bless you. Go home; be well. Isn't He wonderful?

L-120 That made that lady setting there with that blue looking dress on suffering with stomach trouble believe too. You've been having stomach trouble for a while, haven't you? Go eat your supper. Jesus Christ makes you well.
The heavy-set lady, setting right next to you, would you do me a favor or God a favor? You're a believer, or He would've never spoke to you. She has arthritis, don't you, lady? That's right, raise up your hand. All right, lay your hand over on her, sister. You all lay your hands on one another there; Jesus Christ make you well.
You believe?
You think God can heal diabetes? All right, go ahead then. Have faith; He will do it.
Heart trouble? Just keep moving saying, "Thank You, Lord Jesus for healing."
Trouble with your back? Say, "Thank You, Lord for healing me."
Oh, Jesus is wonderful. Isn't He?

L-121 What do you think about it setting there, little lady, looking at me? You believe me to be His prophet? Then that low blood pressure will leave you.
The lady setting right behind you... What did you think about that, sir, when she looked on her? The lady right behind you, the little lady with glasses on, you also have low blood pressure. That's right. When they put that thing around your arm, he told you you had low blood pressure. Is that right? If it's right raise up your hand. How'd I know he did it? Amen. You believe on Him?
Varicose veins, you believe God will heal it? All right. You got a prayer card? All right, you don't have to use it. You're healed. Go, believe it.
Right back there arthritis, setting right back there, second one setting in. You believe God will heal you? You do? Accept it. God bless you. That's right. Thank you, lady, for saying so. Go, be made well.

L-122 O God. What more can He do? What more can... He's already healed you. He was wounded for your transgressions, bruised for your iniquities. Now, you realize that the whole thing, it just seems like just a big Light all over the whole building now. See, I--I can't see nothing out there hardly. It's just...?... If I could... If you could just only realize that that's Him. A condition...
You say, "Brother Branham, what makes you..." I can't tell you. But that was twenty or twenty-five visions that's happened here on the platform. When one made Him weak, what would it do to me? You see His grace? He wants you all to believe it.
Do you believe it? Do you believe it with all your heart? Will you accept it with all your heart? Then stand up on your feet and accept Him as your Saviour, as your Healer, as your Baptizer. And I commit you to God in the Name of Jesus Christ, may the God of heaven pour out His Spirit upon you. Raise up your hands and give Him praise. Now you're healed. [Isaiah 53:5]

L-70 I've brought you the gospel. I have not called myself this. But you have said that you believe that God called me to be His prophet. What does the word "prophet" mean in Hebrew? A divine interpreter of the written word. The Word of the Lord came to the prophet or the seer. I told you the truth.
Now, will you receive Christ as your Saviour, Healer, Baptizer, coming King? If you're not ready to meet Him in the air, if He'd come tonight, and you know you're not ready, would you with your... while your heads are bowed, would you just raise your hands and say, "Brother Branham, pray for me. God be merciful to me; I know I'm not ready. Now, it's up to you. I'm not...
It's not begging time. It's time to wake up and be man or women, or if your heart has sinned away the day of grace then you'll, no matter what condition you're in, you don't even know it. But is there anything about you that's woke you up to let you realize that the hour we're living in, and you want to be remembered in prayer? Raise up your hand. God bless you, and you, and you, you, you. To my right: you, and you, you, God bless you. It goes to show the Holy Spirit's still speaking to people. The door is not closed yet.
But listen to me as His servant: the hour is coming when you'll no more put up your hands. It's done hit that for many people. There's people setting right here now that I know, in the Name of the Lord, being looking out over and seeing that blackness over them, I know they should put up their hands and they didn't do it. They sinned their last day of grace away, turned away from the truth, committed... "He that sins willfully after he receives the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, but a fearful looking for the judgment, fiery indignation." [Hebrews 10:26], [John 5:24]

L-71 Heavenly Father, they raised their hands. I've done my best at Your Word. That's all I know. I have said it just as You revealed it. We've waited long, and now there's many put up their hands, a dozen, maybe, in this building: maybe more, maybe less. But I'd say, eventually You know them every one. The Holy Spirit spoke to them through the Word. They realize that they're not ready to go. Heavenly Father, if a person's sincere enough to put up their hands and witness to You that they're not ready, and they desire to be ready, won't You, kind, merciful Father, condition their hearts tonight for the going away pretty soon, to meet the promised Son? He's been promised now for two thousand years. We've waited for Him, and soon He's coming, 'cause we see that everything that He done to Abraham, He has done to His seed.
We're... have the last sign with us now: that's You, God, is manifested in human flesh. They raised their hands, Lord, they... the Bible says Your own Son, Jesus Christ said,"He that heareth My words (and God I brought it to them), and will believe on Him that sent Me, has everlasting life, and shall not come to judgment, but's passed from death to life."
Great Jehovah, Elohim, through the Name of Jesus Christ, I give them to You, as tokens of Your Word and the Sacrifice of Your loving Son, and by the presence of the Holy Ghost, Who brings the Word and manifests It through human flesh to the people, they are Yours. Do with them as You see fit, Lord, for they are in Your hands. Your ministers here will lead them on. May they go straight to some good church and have Christian baptism performed. Then may they receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost and be placed in the Body of Christ. Grant it, Lord, in the Name of Jesus Christ, I ask it. Amen.

L-72 It is five minutes until ten o'clock. I haven't time for a prayer line. I'll catch them tomorrow night; I will, the Lord willing. I'll just finish up this little bitty message and run my prayer line.
Are you sick? Are you needy? Raise your hands if you are. God bless you. If you are sick and needy, I told you in this Bible, that God, what He did to Abraham, there He also promised it to His Son, his sons of Abraham. And the main seed Son of Abraham made the promise, "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of man." Just the same sign that God showed to Abraham, that the end of sinful believers was... or sinful professors was at hand, so would it be in the days of His coming. Is that right?
Now, I am your brother, a man. Now, I'm going to ask you to be real quiet for just a minute, if you will. Be real reverent. I am your brother, a man. No matter what God would ever do for me, He has to do for you, too, to make it work. Jesus was God's Son Who came to earth. Do you believe that? And when He come to earth, what did He do? There was times that He got among His people, that didn't believe in Him, their... their churches turned the people away from Him. Is that right? That's what they're doing today. [Luke 17:29-30]

L-73 We find Him in the Laodicean church age outside of the church, knocking, trying to get back in. See? They've done the same thing today. "And many mighty works He could not do because of their unbelief. But as many as believed Him, to them gave He the power to become the Sons of God." Is that right?
Now, I'm going to ask you something. You bow your head, you that's sick. How many knows that Jesus Christ is the High Priest setting at the right hand of God, right now, bloody Sacrifice, tore apart, sent the Holy Ghost down here... If you believe me to be His servant, if you want a... No, I ain't going to say that. I'm His servant, not even worthy to be called a minister, let alone a prophet, but if you believe that I've told you the truth, don't believe me, but believe what the Word said.
See if God keeps His Word. He's setting at the right hand of God. And is a High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities. Is that right? Is that true? The Bible says that? Well, if He's the same, Hebrews 13:8, the same yesterday, today, and forever, if you touched Him with your infirmities, how would He act, if He was the same yesterday, today, and forever? The way He acted when the woman touched His garment. Could you touch Him? The Bible said so. Well then, He'd act the same. [Matthew 13:58], [John 1:12], [Hebrews 13:8]

L-74 Then remember He said, "I am the vine. Ye are the branches." Now, the vine doesn't bear any fruit; the branch bears the fruit but gets it's life from the vine. Is that right? Now, He's here. We are the branches.
If you got something wrong with you and you need help from God, I'll ask you to pray and say, "Heavenly Father, that little uneducated dried up man, who's setting up there, bald-headed, now, he don't know me. And he's just a man. But he tells me that You're the same and made this confirmation that... and everything that I see, I see is true: justification, sanctification, baptism of the Holy Ghost, placing of the Son, giving Him the name, that man taken part of the name of God, Elohim. Now let's see the same signs. We see Billy GraHAM, following down in Sodom. But this man says they'll be one come to the elected church.
Now, you see brethren, is that Scriptural? Then believe. And if God says, confirms what I say to be the truth, then it is the truth. You pray. And I'll yield myself; you yield yourself; see what the Holy Spirit will say. [John 15:5]

L-75 Now, the Bible said the Angel had His back turned to the tent. Now, anybody here that knows me, please don't pray. If you know me, and know that I know your trouble, don't you pray. Just those who doesn't know me and knows that I don't know nothing about you, you pray. See what He will do. Now, just let... be in prayer.
And Lord Jesus, this ministry is soon coming to the end. I believe that soon this will end. I believe the coming of the expected Son to the seed of Abraham will soon arrive. But that Your Word might be fulfilled, Lord, let it be known tonight that You are God and I am Your prophet, or Your servant, born, sent, ordained to this work, that it might be a sign to the church, to the elected, called out seed of Abraham, that the end is at hand. Let it be so, Lord. Let some of Abraham's seed, there, touch the hem of Your garment. Then speak to me, Father, to say the Words that You'd have me to say.

L-76 Now, you pray. Now, before me, with my back turned to the audience, there is a woman setting back in this way. She's suffering with the stomach trouble. She also has had a car accident. She is not from here. She's from Kentucky. Her name is Miss Allison. Stand on your feet, lady, and receive your healing. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and be healed. Now, the lady, I never seen her in my life. If we're strangers, lady, raise up your hand. The lady that was just healed, raise up your hand. Is He's still God...
Now, I ask some of the rest of you to do the same thing. I'll turn my back. Straight behind the woman, is a woman also suffering. She's got a kidney infection... rather heavy-like woman. Mrs. Brown, you stand up and receive your healing. Am I a stranger to you? We're strangers to one another. I don't know nothing about you. If that's right, raise up your hand, that you were praying. God bless you. Go, be well. Is God still God? If thou canst believe...
Back trouble and kidney trouble, down the row there, Miss Day, you want to receive your healing? You may receive it also. I don't know the woman. Never seen her in my life. If that's right, lady, wave your hand: we don't know one another. See? What is it? Your faith to believe. If thou canst believe all things are possible. Is that right?

L-77 What about in this section, somewhere in here? Have faith. There is a man standing before me, he's had a operation for hemorrhoids; didn't do any good. Mr. Day, I beg your pardon, Mr. Short, stand up and receive your healing. With my Bible before me, I never seen the man in my life, we're total strangers one to the other.
With the growth in the nose back there, Mrs. Bowman. What about you? Will you stand and receive your healing? I don't know her; I've never seen her in my life. Do you believe with all your heart?
The lady with the leg trouble, fixing for an operation, over there, Miss Conner, stand up and receive your healing.
Fallen bladder setting next, there, fixing for an operation, Miss Dixon, stand up and receive your healing. I never seen them in my life, and God is my judge.

L-78 This is the end time, church. God called Abraham by justification, sanctification, the Spirit, placing of the Son, and appearing in human flesh before the end time. Do you believe it? How many of you that raised your hand, awhile ago now, that you want to be remembered in prayer, you never seen anything like it before, and now you're glad you received Christ as your Saviour, stand up on your feet. You that's believed, that you're glad you received Christ as your Saviour, stand up on your feet, every one of you now. You're not ashamed. God bless you. God bless you. God bless you. That's right. See? That's right, God bless you. How many wants to be healed now and believe that He's here to heal you?
See, I never touched those people. There's ten or twelve more people, whatever it was, went through the building. I never touched a one of them, but they touched something. This microphone is a mute 'less something's speaking to it. I'm a mute too, on anything like that. How would I know. God, they touched God. God spoke through me and told them everything that they were wanting. Is that right? Does that make Him the same yesterday, today, and forever? Then I ask you, everyone one of you, that need healing in your body, to stand on your feet, in the Name of Jesus Christ. Church, you see these people who want healing.

L-79 How many near them are believers, raise up your hand. The Bible said, "These signs shall follow them that believe." You stand up by them and lay your hands on them. You lay your hands on them. Now, lay your hands on each other as you go around through the audience that's in need.
Now, how do you pray at your church? The way you pray at your church, you... The way you pray to God in your secret closet, pray for that person you got your hands on, while I pray for all of you.
Our Heavenly Father, it has been a lengthy meeting. But one that, no doubt will always be remembered. That we're at the end time and we see it. We're here tonight where we are a people who knows that the time is at hand. There's no nation, no one can keep this, no person can keep it from happening. God said so. And His Words are true, and we've seen every confirmation that he spoke of. And now, Your great Spirit is here in the building. Beyond any shadow of a doubt, the same God that preached the message, the same Spirit that spoke, is the same One that proved that He is the same One that was in human flesh, eating and drinking like a man, setting before Abraham, before the end time was for that generation. So is it now, Lord. The end time is here. And these people knows that Jesus, the Son of God, said that these things would reappear again, like it was in Sodom before the end time. Lord God, we are without one shadow of doubt it's here.
They are praying for one another. They are believers. They rise to confess their belief. They lay their hands on one another to pray for one another.
I condemn the devil of sickness, diseases, affliction, or sin, that's upsetting them, and the unbelief that keeps them from receiving their healing. I ask God to move back the shadows of unbelief and let the Holy Spirit pour into these children of Abraham, from El Shaddai, the great strength giver. And heal each of them as I condemn the devil and set them free in the name of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. [Mark 16:17]

L-72 Now, here stands a woman that I've never seen in my life. She is a total stranger to me. I've never seen her. She's just a woman standing there. Now, I suppose this is the first time we've ever met, as far as I know. Is that right? That is right. Now, if this is our first time meeting, and I'd raise my hands to that. If I ever met you I... it was somewhere I didn't know who you was. We passed on the street, or you set in a meeting or something like that. I wouldn't know you no other way. But just to know you, I don't. And you don't know me. But there's Somebody here Who does know both of us. That's right. Somebody knows both of us. Now, we're going to forget ourselves and let Him speak through me, and...
Now, if I come up here and said, "Lady, you're sick. Hallelujah. Praise God. Go get healed. You're healed. Go on." Now, that'd be all right. If you want to believe it. You're only healed by faith. That's right. So now, you could have a right to doubt that. But upon the Scripture what I told you that we're in the end time, and that same God that dwelt in human flesh, eating and drinking there, that several hundred years after that was made manifest in flesh, the same God, 'cause He come for Redemption to hunt His lost child...
When God came down in the garden of Eden, why didn't He send a Angel to hunt Adam? Why didn't He send some kind of a Son to hunt Adam? That was His lost child: He come Hisself. That's why Jesus was God made flesh. He came in human flesh to redeem you. I was going to speak on that tonight if I had to finish that up last night, The Kinsman Redeemer, to show that He was--had to be man. So through that Blood, without sex, that unadulterated, created Blood of God, I stand here tonight with this... this challenge upon my Bible, standing before a woman, to say that God keeps His Word. That's where we stand.
If God will reveal to me something that you know that I... If there's anything about you, I don't know it. But if He will reveal to me, then you'll know, and like the woman at the well of Samaria, go tell your people that, "Come see a Man... not Brother Branham, now, but the Lord Jesus that's in His church, manifesting Himself, because He told me the things that's in my life." Would you be willing to do that? Would the church be willing to do that?

L-73 It really isn't you that you're standing here for. It's for somebody else. If that's right, raise up your hand. See? He knows what's in your heart. If God, then, will describe to me or tell me something about this something or somebody, will you believe me? The person, not here; they're in a dying condition with cancer, and you're standing for them. Is that right? You know that handkerchief you got in your hand, there? Take that to them. And don't doubt. You won't doubt it. Then you can have what you ask for. God bless you. God bless you.
Now, does the church believe? If thou canst believe. It shakes some; it doesn't others. Nothing...

L-74 How do you do? If Jesus Christ the Son of God will reveal to me what you're here for, or who you're for, or something another, you'll know whether it's the truth or not won't you? You'll believe me to be His servant, and I've told you the truth upon the Word of God. Are you ready for a shock? You're seriously ill, shadowed to death, blackness over you: a cancer. It's a lung cancer that's gone through your system. That is true. Come here. If the Spirit of God that made the Bible... The last commission our Saviour give to the church, "These signs shall follow them that believe." Now, you know something has me anointed, is that right? Well then, if I lay hands on you and condemn that devil, will you believe it that it comes from God, the very God that knows about you? Then you can live.
Almighty God, Creator of heavens and earth, Author of Everlasting Life, and Giver of every good gift, with hands laid upon the woman, as the last commission given to our Lord, or by our Lord, that His church should do, I condemn this death hanging over the woman, and let her live in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. Now, write me your testimony and believe with all your heart.
How do you do? You believe God heals rectal trouble too? All right. It's over then. What'd you touch then? Touched Him.
I don't know you. God does know you. You believe me to be His servant? I'd just trying to... See, the Angel of the Lord... Did you ever read my book? When He met me that night, said, "You get the people to believe you." Believe me what...? That I've told the truth. I've told the Bible story, so that's got to be true. If the Lord will reveal to me something about you, will you believe it's... You'll have to know whether that's true or not. You're suffering with a gallbladder trouble. That's right. [John 14:12]

L-75 There it comes. Just... I just... Look like I expect it. "He guessed that." I didn't guess that. Quit thinking that. Ah... Make you ashamed of yourself now. I don't know what He told you. Just a moment. Yes, here it is. It's underneath the ribs here; it's gallbladder. That's right. Causes sickness and cramps and everything. That's right. You also got varicose veins. You're suffering with a nervous condition. You have complications, so the doctor says. Your name is Miss Osborne. Go home and be well. Jesus Christ makes you well. Shame on... Have faith in God. Don't doubt. If thou canst believe all things are possible.
The lady setting there with her hair swept up like this way, looking right at me, there's something when it struck this woman, struck that woman too, and I looked around and seen the light over her... I don't know. There's something the matter with that woman that just left the platform is the matter with that woman too. You're suffering aren't you, sister; sick? Yes, I see it now. You believe me to be His prophet? You have gallbladder trouble. If that's right, raise up your hand. All right, you're healed. Jesus Christ makes you well. You believe?

L-76 If you want to believe me to be His servant, that struck your friend setting there by you so close. It also healed her of a breast trouble she had. Huh. You believe it lady? You accept it? Raise up your hand if you do. All right. Go home believing, you can be made well. I just ask you to believe. That's all.
He's in the audience. You see this little lady setting here praying with all of her heart? She's not praying for herself. She's praying for a sister that's got cancer. Yes. Kind of strange feeling wasn't it. All right. Now go, believe. That's all. Hmm. Strange. Another woman appeared by Him. He's right behind her there, praying for the same thing. You believe also, sister. You can have yours. Oh... Tell me what they touched. How? They're twenty feet away from me, or thirty. How could they touch me. They never touched me, but they did touch the High Priest, Jesus Christ, That could be touched be the feeling of our infirmities.
I don't know you. We're strangers one to another? If the Lord Jesus will reveal to me something... You realize you're in His Presence. One thing wrong: you could drop dead by it. You know that. That's right. You going to believe with all your heart? Your trouble's in your back. That's right. A kidney out of line. That's right. You believe you're going to be healed? Mrs. Combs, you can go home and be well. Pray for that woman...?... It's her faith.

L-77 I don't know you. Oh what... what...? What if it... Oh, well... You think your mother will come out of that stroke and be all right? All right. Go, believe it. You can be made well. God bless you.
Can God heal cancer and make you well? All right. Go, believe it with all your heart, and be made well. If thou canst believe.
Come lady. There's about eighty percent of this audience suffering with the same thing, lady. Let me show you. All you out there that's plagued with nervousness, raise up your hand, everybody. See? That's your trouble. Comes on about this time of life anyhow, but you've been nervous for a long time. You believe you're over it now? Go thanking the Lord. Say, "Thank you, Lord Jesus."
Can God heal your back and make you well? All right. You go believe it with all your heart.

L-78 I see your trouble. But that's not what it is. You're so nervous you don't know how to hold yourself together. Go, believe. It'll be all right. That... This same lady here had a nervous trouble she's got other troubles, complications, but she's actually wanting me to pray for nerves. Is that right? Believe it and go be made well. Just believe with all your heart.
I don't know you, do I? You believe God will heal that female trouble you got, make you well? Then go, believe it; have faith. You believe out there, every one of you? Having faith?
That lady setting right there has got female trouble too, she's praying for. That's right. Lady, kind of, that's got something laying over your lap. That's right, you! You; looked around to the next woman. Believe! No, right here: you that's got your hand laying back that way. Believe with all your heart. Go home, yes, sir, and be made well. Jesus Christ be...
What do you think, out there praying for your wife that's backslid? You think she'll come back home and be... Stand up on your feet. All right. I give her back to you in the name of Jesus Christ.

L-79 Go, believe, sister. Be made well. Jesus Christ heal you and make you well. Now, that's about the way she has to get out the bed of a morning too. See? It's arthritis, but God can heal arthritis, can't He? All right, if you... Well, just go believe Him, then. Just go and say, "Thank you, Lord." Believe Him.
What if I didn't even say one thing to you, just said... laid my hands on you, you believe you'd get well? Come on by then. God bless you. Go, receive it, sister, in the name of Jesus.

L-80 Now, here it comes again: another nerve condition. That's right. How many, audience out there... all your heart, with all that's in you, and you believe with all the strength that you have that God's the Healer of nervousness, raise up your hands like that. If He can heal this woman here... Now, through that... Come here a minute.
Uh huh, you got other little troubles too, haven't you--female. See, how I could tell that. Sure you can. Look here, when you put your hand on mine... Look here. See my hand? See how normal it looks like any man's hand? Now, put this hand on here. Now, look at it. See how it swells up, them little white things run over it? Now, watch. Take this other hand over here and put it on it. Doesn't do it on that one, does it? Doesn't do it on that one. Well, why would it just do it on this one, then? That was the first gift that was give me. See, it's your contact, your right hand to my left; you're pledging your faith, that you believe what I tell you. I take your left hand and raise mine to God. My left is to my heart. See?
Now, you see something happens, shows physically what's wrong there. Is that right? Now, if that's right, face the people. Is that... Watch when she's looking here. Look at my hand yourself. Now, take your hand off there. Now, take this other hand, put on it. Doesn't do it there. You're just as much human in this hand as you are in this hand. See? Now then, you see there's something physically showing: that's anointing, that's by a promise.

L-81 Now, you come here. Now, you watch my hand. Do you believe now, with all your heart. I'll lay my hand right here so you'll see it. It's not... You can see it's not the position I'm holding my hand in, where it's at, just the same. Now, if that goes away, if it comes back like this other hand, well then it'll be... you'll know something's happened, won't you?
Now, I don't know whether you can see it or not, as she puts her hands on mine, swells up, and little white things going, "Bthrrrrrr, bthrrrrr, bthrrrrr..." She doesn't realize... she knows she got a female trouble, but she don't know what it is. See? It's a tumor. See? Now, there it is, moving. She had trouble there. Now, now look, I'll take my hand off of it. Look at my hand now. Now, let her take this other hand here and put that hand on. Not one speck of difference! See? This one doesn't show it. This one does. Is that right, lady, you're just... look at it? See? Little white things running over my hand going, "Bthrrrrr, bthrrrrr, bthrrrrr..." What is that? That's a life inside of her that doesn't belong there. Now, the doctor calls it, "Tumor, cancer," so forth like that, but Jesus called it, "a devil." Watch, it's a life. What is she? She's a life, a multiplication of cells. What's a tumor? Multiplication of cells. What's a cancer? Multiplication of cells. What's a cataract? Multiplication of cells. See, that's a life in there. It's the anointing here now, of eternal life. And there's a life here that's eternal life, and there's a life there that's death. See? So that's the difference.

L-82 The woman's a believer. See? She's nervous; been that way a long time, especially since menopause: got astigmatism in her eyes, she has dizzy spells. Oh, my, that's easy. See? But the thing of it is, is watch now and see. Now, I cannot make it go; or I cannot make it stay away. Now, I just want to hold my hand so you can see what I spoke of awhile ago it true. Can you hear me? I'm going to hold my hand here and just let the woman pray and see if it leaves. Just pray, say, "Lord, help me." Now, she prays. See? Now, let her look herself: I ain't looked at my hand. Still there. See? Now, I'll pray:
Father God, hear my prayer, I pray for this woman that you'll help her according to her faith. Amen.
Didn't move, did it? Still there. Now, I'm not going to move. You just watch my hand. Now, just show you what He said, going to make sure it's Him. Now, what'd He tell me? He promised me this. I can't make it stay away from her, but if she sees it leave she'll... Now, I want you to watch my hand. You, watch, my hand.
Almighty God, not to make a show here, but this will probably be my last time in this city. I pray Thee, Lord, to make Yourself known, that I've told the truth to this people. They're watching my hand; the woman is too. But Your Words are so true. Sometime when a little weary flusteration hinder, but your promise still remains true, "In My name they shall cast out devils." Now, You promised that. You confirmed it to me by an Angel that night at Green's Mill, standing in that cabin. Satan, you can't hold her any longer. Come out of her, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Now let the lady be the judge. It's gone. Is it gone, lady? I've never moved my hand. Now, look. Gone. Put your other hand on it. Not there, is it? You're healed. See what I mean? Do you believe? Now, how many believers is here, raise up your hand? [Mark 16:17]

L-83 Has not the Bible declared it? Has not God worked with the seed of Abraham the same as He did with Abraham? Isn't the same Angel that met Abraham at... just at the age of Sodom before it was destroyed, isn't that the same works here, He's doing tonight? Is it the same? Is it? Do you believe it? Are you Abraham seed? God said, "These signs shall follow them that believe. If they lay their hands on the sick, they shall recover." How many out there is sick? Raise your hand. How many setting by them that's a believer? Put your hands over on one another. That's all. Just lay your hands on. That's all he has to do. That's...
Just say... you say, "Well, Brother Branham, I want to be baptized." I'll just baptize you, that's all. Then you're baptized. Is that right? Then you're Christian. Oh, then, if you say, "Well, Brother Branham, repent and be baptized." That's what the Bible says: "Go ye into all the world, preach the Gospel... every creature... He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved." Is that right? Well then, if you believe and are baptized, the Bible said you're saved. Is that right? What's the order of baptism? Just, put them under the water, bring then back up--baptized.
What is the order then for sick? "These signs shall follow them that believe. If they lay their hands on the sick, they shall recover."
"If Brother Branham lays his hands..."
He never said, "Brother Branham... "; He said, "whosoever." So these signs shall follow them that believe. You're a believer, same as I am. You have the same rights to lay your hand on anybody as I do. Each one of you are ministers, these pastors, anybody else, they have the right to do it. You believe that? Then I want you to lay hands on one another. Bow your head. Don't pray for yourself now: you pray for the next person that you got your hands on, 'cause they're praying for you. You believe that with all your heart. I commit you to Jesus Christ, as I pray for these clothes here and handkerchiefs. [Mark 16:15-16]

L-84 Heavenly Father, these handkerchiefs that's been brought to me, the people are believing just like they did in the days of Paul. They seen Paul have those visions, and they knowed that he was sent of God. These people believe the same thing. Now Lord, You're the same God to us, because Abraham was the father of many nations. And they brought from Paul's body, handkerchiefs, aprons, and they were taken to the sick and afflicted and devils went out of people: unclean spirits, diseases was healed. Now, I rebuke every devil...

L-146 Now, brethren, I say to you, you probably would not have the spirit of discernment. That don't have to be (You see?), that--that ain't necessary. The first thing, you're a men of the Word. You're far better, a more preachers than I am, because I'm--I'm not much of a preacher. But I... But you're--you're anointed, any man that's called to preach the Gospel is called to heal the sick. The general orders is: "Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved. These signs shall follow them that believe. If they lay their hands on the sick, so forth, they shall recover." If you're called to be a minister, you're called to pray for the sick.

L-147 And the reason I do this is so this audience, that they might see that they don't have to wait for some special person, Oral Roberts, Tommy Hicks, Tommy Osborn, myself, somebody comes by for a healing service. I want them to see that you are men of God. See? You're men... Just as much right to lay hands on any of them as--as I or anybody else. After all, brethren, you all know, as--as ministers, it's their own faith in God that does the work. Is that right? We just offer a prayer for them.
Now, you say, "Brother Branham, is the Spirit, or the Holy Spirit there with you?" Certainly. Yes, sir.
Now, to you in the audience--in the line there, if you believe with all your heart that God's going to heal you, raise up your hand, say, "I accept it."

L-150 Now, come here, let this--let this lady come here. I don't know you; I've never seen you. If the Holy Spirit will tell me, so that my brethren here in the presence here like this, so they're all standing here around me... And not only that, my brethren are here, and my Lord is here. It's their Lord too. Now, if He will tell me something wrong with you, whatever's wrong with you, you'll know whether it's the truth or not. I want them... I want the audience... I want the people out there to see that the Holy Spirit's here at the platform to give discernment, but that don't heal anybody. But if He will tell me something about you, that you know I know nothing about, just like it was the woman at the well... Not the same kind of case, but I mean a man and woman meeting for the first time. Jesus, kind of a middle-aged Man, and this woman probably was a young woman, maybe like you.

L-151 And if He will, could tell me what you're here for, your trouble, would you believe that it'd have to be His Spirit that would do it? Do you brethren believe that, that the same Lord Jesus is standing here? You audience believe the same thing? Would you in the prayer line believe the same thing, and know that these man... Would I called them up here if I thought they wasn't... After preaching like this, and saying the things I have, and then call men up here that wasn't worthy? I wouldn't do that. I'd be defeating the very thing I was fighting about. You see? I believe in them; I believe they're men of God.

L-152 Now, see if the Holy Spirit stands closely. Just to speak with you, I'm trying... You say, "What are you doing, Brother Branham?" The same thing Jesus done with the woman, said, "Bring Me a drink," He was just trying to talk to her a minute, find out what her trouble was.
Your trouble is nervousness; that's what you're suffering with. If that's right, raise up your hand. Now, she sure doesn't look it, does she, brethren? She doesn't, but that's what her trouble is. She's been that way a long time. Always crossing your bridges 'fore you get to them, and so forth. That's true. It's your make up, just made that way, nervous; always imagining something's fixing to happen, it doesn't. Sometimes the devil tells you, "There's nothing to It; just you're backslid; you've across the line." I'm not reading your mind, but I'm reading what's... I'm knowing what he's talked to you about, 'cause I see what's crossed your mind.

L-154 Now, Jesus perceived their thoughts. Is that right? Well, that's what's happened right now. Is that right? Here, let me tell you something, that you might know. You're really standing here for somebody else. That's right. That's the thing, and you couldn't catch it till then. Now, if the Lord will reveal to me what you're standing here for, for somebody else, will you believe me to be His prophet? It's for your mother. You believe God can tell me what her trouble is? Well, she has heart trouble, high blood pressure, gall stones, complications. That's right. Isn't it? See? Now, that's the Holy Spirit. Isn't it?
Now, there's something here on me and on these brethren. See? Something here now, the Holy Spirit. Now, you believe me, as we pass through the line.

L-156 Let us all bow our heads while we pray for these people. Now, heavenly Father, we're going to lay hands on these people. And I'm praying for them now. Here's Your royal servants standing here, and we're all going to lay hands on the sick, because You said do it. We're going to do it in the Name of Jesus Christ. May the people not just drag through, but may they come through being healed through Jesus Christ's Name. Amen!

L-157 The Lord bless you. Now, walk right up closely. In the Name of the Lord Jesus, heal.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus, heal my brother.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus, heal my sister.
Now, just--just a minute. See? Brother, sisters, why is it you rejoice when that woman, when the discernment happened, and when the others come through there's nothing done? People pass through, "Well, if I'm not--have discernment, well, then I didn't get nothing." That don't have nothing to do with it; He's here just the same. See?
When you pass through here, come with your hands up, saying, "Thank You, Lord Jesus. I accept You as my Healer, and I'm just going like I would to one of these men's going to baptize me; I'm going right into the pool of water and be baptized, and come out and know that You've promised that I'd receive the Holy Ghost."
See, it... The discernment's still here. It's still here, It's just the same as... Here, which is it? This man here? I'm a stranger to you. Am I, sir? I don't know you. Can... If God will tell me what's your trouble, will you believe me to be His prophet, His servant? You will with all your heart? All right, sir. All... Thank you, sir. That's a very good spirit, very fine thing. After all, you're standing here for somebody else. That's right. "It's your grandchild, got the polio, fell the other day and broke its leg," that's THUS SAITH THE LORD. Is that right? That's right. Go and believe now, and he'll get well.

L-161 Now, come believing, just everybody, just come... [The ministers pray for the sick in the prayer line. Brother Branham is heard saying, "In the Name of Jesus Christ," as the people pass--Ed.] Everybody...?...

He'll sustain you over, God's little, crippled children, blind...?... Ministers of the Gospel, you know we have no power to heal. But our great Lord Jesus Who stands here present and can do signs, and condemn the devil that has him bound. We condemn the devil...?... We condemn...?... blind...?... that in the Name of Jesus Christ the Son of God, we would ask that God give them faith to believe that the prayer of faith has saved the sick and--and God shall raise them up, and they shall be well again. Grant it, Almighty God, through Jesus Christ's Name.
Now, you brethren walk away from the platform. Just keep on praying.
All the rest of you be in prayer now, while we--the ministers are praying for him anyhow, and we prayed, laid hands on.

L-166 Heavenly Father... To you out there in the audience that didn't get in the prayer line, lay your hands over on one another now. Lay your hands over on one another.
Our heavenly Father, we're bringing You this audience as we close out this service and this campaign under the bannership of Jesus Christ, the great anointed High Priest of God, Emmanuel, standing, raised from the dead, ever living to make intercessions; His great Presence now with us, His holy power upon us to make us see visions, prophesy, lay hands on the sick. God's unfailing Word can never return to Him void. I condemn every devil of sickness, every power of sin, every unbelief. In the Name of Jesus Christ, may it scatter from the people and may they be made well.

L-168 Bless these minister brothers, Lord, as they're gathered together in one heart and one accord, and all the laity of the church. O Almighty God, to this great Middletown, Ohio, send a revival after this, Lord, that'll sweep from side to side, a coming together of the bones, Lord, and sinews skin. And may the power of God raise up a mighty united church here in this city that'll sweep, a example church, all across the nation, that people may come into this city to see the power of God. Grant it, Lord. Heal the sick and the afflicted; save the lost, and get glory unto Thyself.

L-169 Grant it, that all of these handkerchiefs and little parcels that's laying here... I pray, Lord, that the Holy Spirit upon us, and in this building anointing us, may every one of them be well. It is wrote in the Bible that when Israel was in the path of duty, on their way to the promised land, that the Red Sea got in the way. And one of the writers said, "God looked down through that Pillar of Fire, and the Red Sea got scared and moved back, and Israel went to the promised land which was promised."
And now, it's in the Bible, it is written, "I would above all things that you prosper in health." And when these handkerchiefs arrive to the people, where Satan has laid a Red Sea before them, may God look down through the Blood of His own Son, Jesus Christ, and condemn every sickness to those who could not get here; and may the sickness give away and be afraid of God's Word, and God's promise, and God's anointing, and may the people pass over into that good promise of good health and strength. Grant it, Lord. We commit all of it to You, in the Name of Your loving Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.
