L-189 Look at Congressman Upshaw, in the wheel chair, sixty-six years. Stood there at California that night. And come in, I walked to the platform, was standing there. And they started the prayer line.

L-190 I said, "I see a--a--a--a colored lady here before me, and she has got a little old baby. There is a doctor standing, that's--that's operated on that baby and has paralyzed it. The doctor was thin. He was wearing tortoise-shell glasses. And it paralyzed the baby."

L-191 Way down on the outside there, a typical old aunt Jemima weighted about two hundred and fifty pounds, here she come, knocking ushers every way, pulling that stretcher her baby was on. Said, "Lordy, mercy, that was my baby."

L-192 And the usher said, "You can't come in the line, you haven't a prayer card, lady." Well, I said, "Lady..."

L-193 She said, "I is going up there." And they couldn't hold her. She was too big for them, so she was pushing right on through the line. She went on up.

L-194 And when she got there, almost there, I said, "Just a minute, lady. If the Lord God could know what you was out there..." I said, "That's the baby, all right." I said, "I cannot tell you nothing about it." I said, "Only thing I know is just pray for the baby, and I'll do that from right here." I said, "But the only thing I can say is what I seen."

L-195 She said, "That was about two years ago, sir." And she said, "My baby, when they removed the tonsils, it paralyzed the baby." And said, "It's been paralyzed ever since."

L-196 I said, "Well, if your faith could touch Him, to bring that down, why don't you just set there and pray?"

L-197 I turned around. I said, "As I was saying, in my message..." And I looked, and I seen going down through the street, looked like an alley, a little, colored girl, the same one, with a doll on her arm, rocking it as she went along.

L-198 I said, "Auntie, God has heard your prayer. The baby is healed." Up got the baby. And I had to quieten it, with like a militia, and take that baby down through the crowd like that.

L-199 Just a few minutes, I said, "I see an old man. He is on a hay stack, now he's a young boy, he fell and hurt his back." I said, "They had to bore holes in the floor to keep his cot from vibration off the floor." A bunch of believers, everybody in one heart and one accord, setting, hundreds times hundreds. And I said, "He becomes a great man, a speaker of some sort." And it left me. And I went on, started on.

L-200 Just then, Doctor Ern Baxter found out, way back there in a wheel chair, a group way back in the back. He said, "That was Congressman Upshaw. Did you ever hear of him?"
I said, "No, sir."
He said, "Back years ago, he run for President."
I said, "I don't know him, sir," I said.
He said, said, "If I'll bring him, to show?"
And I said, "Who is he?"
Said, "Setting right there."

L-201 And so they wheeled him up, his wife did. He said, "Young man, how'd you ever know me?" Said, "Doctor Roy E. Davis, the one that ordained you in the Missionary Baptist church, and--and he was the--the head speaker for the Southern Baptist Convention," he said, "he was the one sent me here for you to pray." Said, "I've been prayed for, since I was a little boy, but I always believed that God would heal me 'cause I took the right stand in the time of prohibition. I, when liquor was going to be brought in, I was called one of the dry bones." He said, "I lost the president of the United States because of my stand."

L-202 I said, "That's a gallant thing, sir." I said, "May the Lord bless you."

L-203 I said, "All right, bring your first patient here, the first person who's to come up." When it did, something happened to the lady, and It told her about it.

L-204 And I turned, to look again. And I seen that old Congressman with a pin-striped suit on, a red necktie, going down, bowing hisself like this, to the people, just walking right across the people.

L-205 I said, "Congressman, Jesus Christ has honored you. You're eighty-six years old now, but God has honored you. Looked like, when He was going to heal you, He'd a healed you when you was a boy. And your bones is all brittle in there, or all... You know, flexible, and so forth." I said, "Look like He'd a healed you then, but He has healed now."
He said, "Do you mean I'm healed now?"

L-206 I said, "THUS SAITH THE LORD." I said, "Have you got a pin-striped suit?" He--he was wearing a dark suit, with a red tie. I said, "You got a pin-striped suit?"
Said, "Yes, sir, just bought one the other day."
I said, "Rise up. Jesus Christ makes you whole."

L-207 And how many knows it, his testimony? Stood on the Billy Graham's meeting, on the White House steps, and sang Leaning On The Everlasting Arm. Never went to crutches or wheel chairs again, as long as he lived.

L-208 Jack Moore and I was down there in Old Mexico, that night where I had to be let down over the wall. A little woman there, a little, Mexican Catholic. The night before that, laid hands on an old blind man, he got his sight. And this little woman, they said... Billy come to me, said, "Daddy,..." I called the man, "Mañana." Mañana means "tomorrow," he was so slow. He was giving out the prayer cards; and Billy went with him, see he didn't sell one.

L-209 So he said he give out all the prayer cards. And said, "Some woman has got a baby that died this morning."

L-210 It was nearly ten o'clock at night. Outside, in that bull ring there, and the--and the rain just a pouring down, some kind of a big open field like. And he said... They brought me in, and let me down some ladder steps. Brother Jack Moore and them is here now. He was on the platform.

L-211 Said, "I've got three hundred ushers standing there, and can't hold that woman." Said, "She'll climb up over their shoulders, run between their legs. And I told her she couldn't get up here, because she didn't have a prayer card. And we ain't got no more prayer cards." She didn't care about that. She wanted to have hands laid on that baby.

L-212 She seen a Catholic man, that had been blind for twenty or thirty years, receive his sight by being prayed for. She... and the rack of old garments. You think this is something? Oh, three times this platform, stacked that high, with just as far as you could see, with old shawls and hats. How they ever knowed who it belonged to, I don't know. But, they believed; simple, child faith.

L-213 So I said, "Well," I said to Brother Jack. He and I part our hair the same, you know, so I--I said, "Brother Jack, she wouldn't know the difference between you and I. You go down there and pray for the baby."

L-214 And he said, "All right, Brother Branham." He started down. Now, Jack is sitting right there. So we was... He started.

L-215 I started to preach, like this. And I looked, and I seen a little, Mexican baby, a little black-faced baby standing here in front of me, just smiling, its little gums. He didn't have any teeth. I said, "Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Bring the baby here."
I said, "Lord God, I don't know."

L-216 She run up, and have a crucifix in her hand, hollering, "Padre," it means "father."
I said, "Stand up now."

L-217 She had a little, blue-looking blanket; and a little baby, stiff, dead, laying on it; just soaking wet, her hair all down. Pretty little lady, probably her first baby; in her twenties, you know, and she was just holding it down like this. And I--I said, "I'll pray for the baby." I laid my hands. They don't interpret the prayer.

L-218 I said, "Lord God, I only seen the vision. I don't know." And about that time, it let out a kick, and begin screaming and crying like that.

L-219 I said, "Brother Espinoza," to the--the chairman of the meeting, I said, "don't you just take that woman's testimony. You send a witness to that, to the doctor."

L-220 The doctor signed the witness which appears in the men's Voice Of Healing. "The baby died with double pneumonia, that morning at nine o'clock, in his office, pronounced dead, no respiration; had been laying in the rain all day, dead, and was healed." Is alive today, as far as I know, living to the Kingdom of God.

L-221 I have many things, out of Africa, where I seen thirty thousand raw heathens give their life to Jesus Christ.

L-222 God keeps His Word. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, as His witness.

L-223 You are, your mind is the jury. And your action is your judge.
Now bow your heads just a moment.

L-224 Lord Jesus, the trial hasn't started; how many more could we call up here on the platform! You said, "If--if they lay hands on the sick, they shall recover." You said, "The works that I do shall you also." The woman touched Your garment, You turned and told her what had happened. And You keep all Your Words. There is none of them wrong. The wrong is in the unbeliever, Lord. Mr. Unbeliever, he is the one that contaminates the person; Mr. Skeptic; and that impatient one that can't wait upon the Lord, and yet calling himself the Seed of Abraham. O Holy Spirit, the defense witness, You know who has faith and who don't. [Mark 16:18], [John 14:12]

L-225 But, God, I pray that You'll move back every unbelief, this afternoon. And may the great Judge of all the earth come forward now, the One Who wrote the Word. He is the Word. May He come forward.

L-226 And as these people pass through here, to be healed this afternoon, may each one of them make up their mind now. They're on trial. I'm laying it right in their laps, Lord. Their mind is their jury. And the way they act from here on, when they pass through this line, will prove what they think about the Word of God.

L-227 So grant, Lord, that this last message that You preached to Your disciples when You commissioned them, the last Words that fell from Your sacred lips, "If they lay hands on the sick, they shall recover." That is, believers. Last things You said. The first commission You ever commissioned man to do, Matthew 10, was, "Heal the sick, cast out devils; freely as you receive, freely give." The last commission, "Go into all the world, cast out devils; lay hands on the sick, they shall recover." [Mark 16:18], [Matthew 10:8]

L-228 Lord, may the people realize that that faith anchors like it did to all these witnesses. They believe it! No matter, don't have to happen now; but, what You said, You bring it to pass. You said, "If you don't doubt in your heart, by-and-by it shall come to pass." The seed has to grow. May the people see it and understand. For we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen. [Mark 11:23]

L-229 Are you a believer? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Now, He keeps all of His Words. You believe that? ["Amen."] Now real reverent, everybody just a moment, before we call the prayer line. We want order.

L-230 Now, remember, have you made up your mind? Have you come to a verdict, jury? Raise your hands if you've come to a verdict. Is God justified or not justified? Is His Word... Is He the same yesterday, today, and forever, or is He not? Now if you raise your hand, pass through this line, then the way you act from here out, do you act like Abraham or Mr. Unbeliever? See, Mr. Skeptic, Mr. Impatient, discard them! Believe Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever.

L-231 I'm a stranger to you. But now to let you know that He still is here, and if you'll just accept His Word in your heart.

L-232 Now you might not be able to do this. We have one of them in one generation. There was one Moses; none of the rest of them didn't have to turn saw-... dust into fleas, and so forth, and water into blood. There was one Moses; the rest of them just believed what he said. See?

L-233 There was a group up there wanted to make a organization out of it, Dathan and them. And God said, "Separate yourself from them," and the world took them. See? And that was only a... That was a type, of this being the antitype. The world gets them, by-and-by. You see what happens to every one of them.

L-234 "If thou canst believe, all things are possible." Do you believe that? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Sure, all things are possible, if they believe. All right, you pray. You put your faith in Almighty God. [Mark 9:23]

L-235 There was a question here that I wanted to say here. Yes. When your neighbors see you, and the people that sees you come through this line this afternoon, when they see you coming through this line, they will know what your verdict is after here, the way you act and the way you testify. If, the next time you run to your pastor, "Oh, I didn't get it. I want to try it again." You see, you're digging up the seed, it will never come to pass. See? Don't dig up your seed. Commit it, and leave it there. Forget about it. That's up to God. In your heart, if you can believe it, it'll happen.

L-236 Do you believe that, sir, sitting right there with that gray-looking suit on, sitting right back there looking at me? Do you believe that? Then your nervousness left you. I never seen the man in my life. Are we strangers to one another, sir? That's right. That's what you're suffering with.

L-237 That you might know, me being a servant of God, the woman sitting next to you is suffering with stomach trouble. That's right. You believe it? Raise up your hand, that you believe you're healed. Just have faith.

L-238 Woman sitting next to her has heart trouble. Do you believe that, that God will heal you? All right, sir. If you believe it, you can have it.

L-239 One sitting next to her has female trouble. Do you believe that God will heal you?

L-240 The woman sitting next to that, the heavyset lady, she has got diabetes. You believe God will heal you?

L-241 The woman sitting up there has got something wrong with her. She has got--she has got female trouble, sitting right up there on the end of the row.

L-242 I believe that's her daughter sitting right back from her there, has got some kind of a head trouble, was caused by an accident. Is that right? Raise up your hands, in the balcony.

L-243 What is He? I'm His witness, that He's alive here this afternoon. He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. He keeps all His Words. "The works that I do shall you." What did them people, up in the balcony? Somebody else believe, for a minute.

L-244 Now you want me to point you some unbelievers? Might embarrass you. How many seen it done? It only does. You have to let the wheat and the weeds grow together.

L-245 All the people in this row here, that's got prayer cards, form a... Wait, let's hold still just a minute.

L-246 How many believing pastors are here this afternoon, that's on--on trial, also, and you believe that Mark 16 is true? Raise your hands. All believing pastors come here.

L-247 If I leave here, and you see what's going to take place this afternoon, and these people being healed; then some of them say... See, usually, an evangelist with a little different ministry would go in, he leaves the pastor flat, before the congregation. The congregation say, "Oh, if Brother Roberts comes back, Brother Osborn, Brother So-and-so, or Brother Branham, somebody, oh, he..." Your pastor has the same right to this that I do; anybody else. See, your pastor is a man sent from God, the same as any other evangelist.

L-248 And I want the real God-fearing, believing pastors come here and stand with me just a minute. Walk up here just a minute, form yourself a double line right here. I mean man that really believe now. Don't let unbelievers come up; you'll hinder the sick. If you--if you judge this Scripture right, and today while God has appeared to us here and showed that He is on trial. And we have believed Him and know that He tells the Truth and He's right. You believe it? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Sure, if you believe it! Amen.

L-249 You believe that nervousness left you, sir, sitting out there at the end? You believe He'll make you well? All right.

L-250 And your stomach trouble, next to him, do you believe that God will heal the stomach trouble and make you well? You believe that, you can have it also.

L-251 Is this all the believing pastors there is in here today? All right, that's enough. One is enough.

L-252 Let all the people that's got prayer cards, that believe Mark 16...

L-253 Now remember, don't you come in if you don't believe it. See? Don't come up here, in that hypocrisy. See? That's worse than everything. If you don't believe it, say, "No, I don't believe it," go on with Mr. Unbeliever, Mr. Skeptic, or somebody else.

L-254 But if you're a genuine Seed of Abraham, and you want to take your stand. Your verdict has been--has been met, and you want to show the world that your verdict is met, that you believe that every Word that Jesus Christ said is the same. And the witnesses proved it to you, this afternoon, that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

L-255 Let those that got prayer cards here, walk right down here and stop right here. Now just stand right there, if you will. Now just form a line. Then all that's in this section here, that's got prayer cards, turn and go around the back, and fall in line right behind them on this side. Now let all that's--that's in this other section over here, turn and go back to the wall, that way, and follow right in behind this line here, as they come down. Let all that's in the balcony follow right behind this. All you that's got prayer cards, to be prayed for, and made up your mind, your verdict is settled, it's done been reached, go towards the wall and form a line coming right in behind here.

L-256 Now, what did the Bible say? Let me read it again. A strange thing, it just fell open to the place. I believe the Lord wants us to read that again, see. "Afterwards He appeared unto the eleven." He has did us the same way, this afternoon. He is here. How many believes that Christ and the Holy Ghost, that the Spirit of Christ is the Holy Ghost? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Of course, it is.

L-257 There is no three or four Gods. There is only one God. There is three attributes of God; Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, but they're not three Gods. That's heathen. See, there is only one God. And that's attributes. God the Father was in the wilderness, as a Pillar of Fire. All right. God the Son; God the Father created the body which was God the Son, and lived in the Son. See? "God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself." Do you believe that? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] If you're a Christian, you believe it. And, then, "A little while and the world seeth Me no more." And now look, Jesus said, "I came from God, and I return to God." After His death, burial, resurrection, He ascended up. [John 14:19]

L-258 And when Saul of Tarsus was on his road down to Damascus, a big Light, Pillar of Fire again, struck before him. Is that right? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] What did It do? It struck him blind. And when he raised up, he said... Now remember, he's a Hebrew. He knowed what that was, or he wouldn't have said, "Lord." "Lord, Who are You?" He knowed that his people followed that Light, that Pillar of Fire. It brought them out of Egypt. "Lord, Who are You that I persecute?" [Acts 9:5]

L-259 He said, "I am Jesus. Yeah, hard for you to kick against the pricks."

L-260 It was Him that come in as a Pillar of Fire that night and turned Peter out of jail.

L-261 And now look, if that same Spirit returns, won't It have the same attributes that It had here, if It's the Light? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Well, what is this Pillar of Fire, That? Now, if I never see you men again, and you people, my testimony has proven true. The Bible testifies of it.

L-262 Scientific world testifies of it, That. George J. Lacy said, "I often said it was psychology, myself, Mr. Branham. But," said, "I've had It under ultra ray and every kind of a infra ray and everything that I can find. The Light struck the lens, and this lens won't take psychology."

L-263 So if I live or die, it's true, anyhow. The church knows it, true. Science knows it, true. Now what about you? Remember, it's not me. It's Him. It's not me. I'm nobody but just one of you all. It's Him. He has to get somebody. Nobody is worthy of it, but somebody has to do it. Remember, it's not an easy job, but it's a glorious job to know that your Lord is here and you can tell your brethren the Truth. But it's hard when they won't believe it, but, that, we all have to confront that. Remember now.

L-264 Now, you audience, are you all about lined up now? Looks like they are. Now if there is some in the balcony, follow right in behind this line here.

L-265 Now remember, these are your pastors and so forth, man of God, who believe God. Are you believers? You stood here to make a testimony that you believe this Mark 16 is true? [The ministers say, "Amen."--Ed.] All right.

L-266 Now the Bible said, "The prayer of faith shall save the sick; God shall raise them up. If they lay hands on the sick, they shall recover." Now we're going to pray for you, now, while you're standing reverently, quietly. And then when you pass through here, just like you was coming... [James 5:15]

L-267 You had confessed that you believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God. And then you go to the pool to be baptized, or the creek, river, or wherever it's at. And when you are baptized, that's all the preacher can do. Preach the Word; you believe it; you are baptized for the remission of your sins; rise up a new life. Then the way you act, from there on, proves whether you really accepted Christ or not.

L-268 Now if you believe in Divine Healing, and have accepted Him now as your healer, we are standing here to lay hands on the sick. The way you act, from the end of that line on, the rest of your life, will be the judge, no matter what you say. See what I mean? And you're just as sure to get well as you are to remain a Christian. How long are you a Christian after that? As long as you believe. And you're healed as long as you believe.
Notice, these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name they shall cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
They shall take up serpents;... if they drink a deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay their hands upon the sick, and they shall recover. [Mark 16:17-18]

L-269 In the face of this, my mind reached the verdict about thirty-five years ago. He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. By believing Him, He has identified Himself here this afternoon, infallible proof, a miracle. Anything that's unexplainable is a miracle; to show, He does every time.
You say, "Why don't you just..."

L-270 Did you know, one woman touched His garment, and He said, "I got weak." How many knows that? "Virtue has gone from Me." Now, He was the Son of God. How about me, a sinner saved by grace? See?

L-271 But He promised it would do it. It's His promise. He don't have to do it, but He promised He would do it.

L-272 Now do you believe it, all in the line, believe? Your mind has reached that verdict? Now it's going to be in your lap now. Your mind has reached that verdict, that you believe that Jesus Christ spoke these Words. If you do, you in the prayer line raise your hands. All in the prayer line, accept your healing upon the basis of this, that you believe your pastors and all of us, that we are serving the true living God. And that witness that you seen of Him this afternoon, identifies Him here with us, the One that made the Word, the same yesterday, today, and forever. If you do, raise up your hands. It's got to happen, just got to happen! I don't care who you are, if you'll stay with that, its got to happen. Just the same as the rains come; just the same as Moses brought them out of Egypt; the same as a virgin brought forth a child without a earthly father; it'll be the same thing, if you don't doubt it.

L-273 Roy, come here now and take this, sing Only Believe. Just a minute, till we pray. Ministers, let's bow our heads; congregation everywhere.

L-274 Our Heavenly Father, the--the strain of this moment! We are wondering, Lord, just how many really believes. The seed has been sown. The Word has been read. Christ, the Holy Ghost, has appeared before us and showed that Life that was in this Light, and He was the Light of the world, He's the Light now. He's the great Eternal Light, and He has appeared before us, this afternoon, and done just what He said He would do in this generation. The Word has been thoroughly spoken. The Word has been thoroughly identified. And the people, now, if they just thoroughly believe It with all their heart. We are praying for them, Father. Take all unbelief...

L-275 May the man that would witness against You, this afternoon, old man Unbelief, Skeptic, and Impatience, may he be cast from among us today. May he go into outer darkness. May he leave this building; that the great defense witness, the Holy Ghost, can quicken every Word as they pass by. Grant it. May they go from here, their--their mind has already passed the verdict, and they're coming through.

L-276 And now, Holy Spirit, quicken that Word to them, that the work is finished as soon as the last application has been done by laying hands on the sick. Grant it, Lord. I claim every one of their healing, in the Name of Jesus Christ.

L-277 Now, next thing to be done, is laying on of hands. Just like the ceremony for baptism, and you're buried with Him then, and you rise and walk away with a new life. See? You might not feel like it, but you believe it. Just keep staying with it; finally, after a while, you find out you got a new life. That's the same way it is here. It's a seed that's sown. We're planting it now, by laying hands upon it. What do we do in this? Identifying ourself. Like in the Old Testament, they laid hands upon their sacrifice, to identify themself; by faith we lay our hands upon Christ, to identify ourself with Him. Today we lay our hands upon the sick, to identify ourself with this Word. See? You believe now, and the Lord will make you well.

L-232 Now, brethren, this is the Gospel you preach. See? And you pray for me.

L-233 Now, now everybody just as reverent as you can, and look this way. And you believe with all your heart. Just believe, every... just--just everything that's in you. You believe. And don't doubt. Don't doubt, a bit.

L-234 Now, now here is a lady standing here. I suppose we're... Her and I are strangers to each other. I don't know her. And... [The sister says, "Once before that."--Ed.] You saw me once? ["Once before, in Clearwater."] Whereabouts? ["Clearwater, I believe it was."] Clearwater? How long ago was that? ["Or, St. Petersburg, one."] Yeah. St. Petersburg. Yeah. I been in--in St. Petersburg. ["Yes."] It's been several years ago. ["Yes."] Well, now, probably sitting out in the audience, or something like that. ["Yes."] That's a... I wouldn't know you, you know, or know nothing about you.

L-235 So now, here talking to you, it'd be just like our Lord, and that woman met, at the well, that time, see. And--and He talked to her just a moment, to find out where her trouble was. And He found it, because, see, she--she was human and she had a life, a spirit. And He was God, and He had the Spirit of God, was in Him. And there was something wrong with that woman, and the Father showed Him what that was.

L-236 You know, He said, He didn't do nothing till the Father showed Him, first. You know, that's Saint John 5:19. That right, brother? [The brothers say, "Amen."--Ed.] He said, "I..." Not--not what He seen... He had to see it, first. Jesus never done one thing until He saw a vision first. How many knows that's true? [Congregation says, "Amen."] Saint John 5:19. "I do nothing till the Father... I see the Father doing it first." See? Now, if He... [John 5:19]

L-237 Now, course, I'm not Him, and you're not her. But it's still the same God. See? And we're here, meeting for a purpose.

L-238 Now, this woman here, as you might understand, we know not each other. Several years ago, she was setting out in the audience, like you are tonight, when I was at St. Petersburg, she said, in a meeting. I have no way... She's a total stranger to me, know nothing about her, and the Heavenly Father knows that. But now she's here for some cause. She might be for somebody else, financial trouble, domestic trouble. She might be sick, herself. I--I... Might be standing for somebody else. I don't know what she's here for. See? She's just a woman.

L-239 Now what if she was sick, and I'd be like our noble brother, Brother Oral Roberts, and lay hands upon her, say, "The Lord heal you and make you well," and you go believe that. That's all right. That's just... That's Scripture. And if you believed it, you'd get well. See? But, see, that's Brother Roberts' ministry; that isn't mine. See?
Now this is in another angle, one up here at the end time.

L-240 Now what was Jesus? The same yesterday, today, and forever. Now if He stood here wearing this suit that I got on, that He gave me, now, if the woman is sick, could He heal her? Be careful now. Be careful. No. He couldn't do it. He's already done it. See? See? "He was wounded for our transgressions; by His stripes we were healed." He has already done it. The only thing He could do would just identify Himself to her, is that right, and make it known that He's raised from the dead, and alive. And now, that, He would identify Himself. And only way He could do it, would be like He was then. He would be the Prophet. Is that right? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] [I Peter 2:24]

L-241 Now, I, it wouldn't be me, 'cause I--I don't know nothing about it, so that let me out. But it would have to be Him. So if we are the branch and He's the Vine, He sends His Spirit into me, to let me know something of you, or something what you want, what you have been, what you are, or what you will be, or something another. You'll know whether it's the Truth or not, if it's already happened. [The sister says, "Yes."--Ed.] So that ought to make you really see that He's alive and with us today. ["Yes."] See?

L-242 Would that make you believe, if He would do it? Now raise your hands, I want to know, so you promise God, "It would make me believe." [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] See? That He's, He... See?

L-243 Now, I been talking about Him being the same yesterday, today, forever. Now, is He, is He alive? That's the thing. Is He here? We've shouted, and felt Something.

L-244 Just like if a man never had sight, and he walked out and felt the sun, he wouldn't know what it was. It was something warm. But if he could see, he would see what it was, he would say that's the sun. "What is the sun?" To another man, never seen, maybe, this, no one ever had the sense of sight before.

L-245 Now, this is an insight. And the thing that you have been praising and rejoicing about, here It manifests Itself and you see what It is. See? Now here It is, with this Bible laying here, and this fine bunch of brothers here and all around.

L-246 Both of us strangers. Now may the Lord Jesus reveal. Now, to heal, or to give her what she wants... If it was money, it would have to be pretty low, 'cause I haven't got very much; but I'd do it; I'd do the best I could. But--but, now, to heal, I couldn't do it. See? It'd have to come from Him. But, now, if He will tell me something about you; and you know I know nothing. And if He'd tell me something about you, it would increase your faith, wouldn't it, make you believe that He is here? [The sister says, "Yes. Yes."--Ed.] Now, may He do it.

L-247 In the Name of Jesus Christ, I take every spirit in here, under my control now, to give witness to this Word of God. I just...

L-248 Be praying now. See? You say, "What was you waiting for, Brother Branham?" How many ever seen a picture of that Light? That's what He... Here It is, right here now. It's right here now. Now she couldn't hide herself, if she could try to. Couldn't do it now. She is a nice person. She has nothing to worry about. She's conscious something is going on, too.

L-249 But, what the woman wants, she's got a crippling condition that's coming upon her, arthritis that's coming upon the woman. That's right. That's it. See? [The sister says, "That's right."--Ed.] Yeah. Raise your hand if that's true, if it's arthritis. Now you believe me, I can tell you where the arthritis hurts you worse at? ["Yes."] It's in your bones. That's right. And you got something else wrong with you. You believe God can tell what that is? You got a tumor. ["Yes."] Yes, sir. That's right. Raise up your hand. You believe God can tell me where that's at? ["Yes."] It's on the breast. ["Yes."] That's right. Wave your hand like this. Now, see, He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. Now you believe with all your heart? ["Yes."] Go ahead, and it won't bother you no more, then. Just go, believe with all your heart. That's just all you have to do. See? Go and believe. See?

L-250 Now, that, see, I don't know the woman. Now, you know how long I spoke to you, better than forty-five minutes. I'm weaker right now, from that, than I was all the speaking. See?

L-251 Now here is a lady. We're strangers to one another, I suppose. We don't know each other, but God knows us both. Now, if Jesus will tell me something about you, which you know I don't know, would that help you to have faith in what you're going to ask for? [The sister says, "Yes, sir."--Ed.] Would it help the audience now? See?

L-252 Now, remember, He promised this. The scene set exactly at Sodom. You see Sodom; you see Billy Graham, everything, just the way. Now watch the Abraham group up here, see, the--the royal Seed of Abraham. "Being dead in Christ, we're Abraham's Seed." That is right, brethren. We're all...

L-253 It's a tumor. [The sister says, "Amen."--Ed.] That's right. Operation don't do no good. And you're wanting a... You're having trouble with it, all the time. You believe it's going to leave you now? ["Amen."] All right. God bless you. As you have believed it, so will it be to you. All right. Just have faith now. Don't doubt, you see. Have faith, lady. All right. Next... There it goes. See?

L-254 Now you come. You're the next patient. Now, we are strangers, one another. [The sister says, "Yes."--Ed.] We are strange... I've never seen you before. You're just a... ["I never saw you in my life."] You never saw me in your life, and I've never seen you in my life. We're just two people that met.

L-255 Now what is this? It's a gift. See? A gift isn't something like a stick or a sword, you cut with and things. A gift is--is a way to get yourself out of the way. See? You just... I have to get myself out of the way, then the Holy Spirit takes over. See? It isn't what you take and do something with. It's a gift to get yourself out of the way, then God uses you. See? After you get yourself... Just like a little...

L-256 You can't explain it, 'cause you can't explain God. We believe God. We don't explain Him; we can't. You know God by faith, and not by science, or any other way. You don't scientifically prove Him. You just believe Him. You can't prove what love is. You can't prove what joy is. The whole armor of God, love, joy, peace, long-suffering, meekness, gentleness, patience, that's all supernatural. See? You can't prove it, but you know you got it. See? That's it, so you know it yourself.

L-257 The lady is very much wearied. She's--she's got something wrong with her mouth, inside her mouth. That's right. If that's right, raise up your hand. [The sister says, "That's right."--Ed.] And it's cancerous, you're afraid it is. That's right.
Now you say, "You guessed that."

L-258 I didn't guess it, either. [The sister says, "No."--Ed.] You don't guess those things. Look, look here again. You're a very fine person. Something happened to you then. But I just... Here, you've had a car accident, too. Haven't you? ["That's right."] If that's right, raise up your hand. ["Amen."] That, you see now, I--I wouldn't knowed that. ["No."] All right, then, go on your road, rejoicing. Just believe God. Amen. Believe it.
Come now. You believe.

L-259 You believe? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Now, you out there, just start believing with all your heart. Don't doubt, but believe every word to be the truth. See, that's Him. That's your Lord. He's right among you. You believe that, out there? ["Amen."]

L-260 Now, we're strangers, one to the other, I suppose. I don't know you, and you don't know me. Well, that's good. Now that makes it so that... I never was here before, you know. We're just here in the city. And--and you're in need, or whatever it is. You believe God can tell me your--your need, or whatever it is? You'll believe me. It's not for yourself. It's for somebody else. [The sister says, "That's right."--Ed.] That's right. That's a grandchild. ["Yes."] And that grandchild is kind of retarded. ["Yes."] That's exactly. It's in another place. It isn't here. Something like New Mexico. ["Yes."] Or some... It's in New Mexico. That's where it's at. Go, believe now, with all your heart.

L-261 We are strangers, one to another. We, our first time meeting. But... All right.

L-262 A man sitting right there, this thing, go like this, looking, you suffer with stomach trouble, sir. That's right. You were sitting there wondering how that was ever done. Wasn't that right? And thinking about your own stomach. If that's right, raise up your hand. I don't know the man, never seen him in my life. All right. You got a habit you want to quit, smoking. You want to quit that smoking? That's what's causing your stomach, when you smoke cigarettes; the nicotine goes down, throws your stomach into spasm. I never seen the man in my life, and there he is. Now stand up, if that's the truth, sir. I renounce the cigarettes from you. In the Name of Jesus Christ, go and be made well. Now, I never seen him in my life. What did he touch? He touched the Master.

L-263 By the way, the lady sitting next to you there, loved one, she has stomach trouble, also. [The brother says, "Yes."--Ed.] That's right. You want to get over your stomach trouble, lady? See, the Spirit, it's the last day. Don't you see that Light hanging right around, by them? That's right. All right. That's right. Now you go, believe, your nervousness will leave you. And that's what's caused your stomach trouble. That's right. You believe with all your heart now. All right.

L-264 By the way, there's another lady sitting there, next to you, she has an allergy. If that's right, you stand up, lady. That's right. Stand up to your feet and admit it. And, all right, you believe that God will take it away from you? Then you can have what you ask for.

L-265 Now, I never seen them in my life. And that's exactly what it is. What did they touch? They touched the--the High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of their infirmities. Any of you out there, you believe the same thing. Just believe.

L-266 Setting there, a man wants the baptism of the Holy Ghost. He's hunting for a job, too. Do you believe that God will give you the Holy Ghost, and give you the job? Now raise your hand up; right here, setting there with the white shirt on. All right. I never seen him in my life, but it's exactly what he was thinking. If that's right, wave your hand like this.

L-267 Now don't you see? The Word of God discerns the thoughts and intents of the heart. "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever." That's Him out there. You know it couldn't be me. I'm not out there. I'm twenty yards from him. But he touched the High Priest. Oh, the thought of Christ being present, friend, can you comprehend it? [Hebrews 13:8]

L-268 Excuse me, lady. I just have to follow, you know, such a draw of faith. It started out there, now it'd be hard to keep away from it, you see. [The sister says, "That's all right."--Ed.] All right. You are a believer. ["Yes, sir."] And you believe that that operation that you're about to have, do you believe that God can take that away from you before having the operation? You believe it, too? ["I was going to have to."] And you believe now that... They got that daughter that's got some kind of a hay fever, or something like that. You believe that God will heal her of that hay fever? You believe that? All right. Now go put your hands on her, and believe with all your heart, and God will heal her. Have faith.

L-269 You want to eat your supper? [The sister says, "Yes."--Ed.] Believe your stomach will be all right? ["Yes."] All right, then go eat. The Lord Jesus is here. All right.

L-270 Come, bring the lady. Have faith. Don't doubt. Come, lady. Do you believe God can heal that diabetes, make you well? [The sister says, "Yes, brother."--Ed.] With all your heart, you believe it? ["Amen."] All right, then go on your road, rejoice and say, "Thank You, Lord Jesus," with all your heart.

L-271 God can heal your back trouble, make you well. You believe that? [The sister says, "Sure do."--Ed.] All right, just go on your road, say, "Thank You, Lord Jesus, with all the heart." You got to believe.

L-272 Come, lady. You're young. But, you die easy, with heart trouble. But you believe God can heal your heart? Then go on your road, rejoicing. Thank the Lord Jesus, and believe with all your heart. All right.

L-273 Come, sir. Gotten nervous, give you a peptic ulcer in your stomach. Go, eat your supper. Jesus Christ make you well. Believe with all your heart. Do you believe it?

L-274 You believe God can heal that asthma? Setting out there, looking at me, with the glasses on; little, checkered dress. The lady, you believe, set on the end there? You believe God will take care of the asthma? Raise up your hand if you believe it. All right. He'll heal you.

L-275 What do you think about that, setting right behind her, mister? You believe you can avoid that tumor operation? Believe God will take that tumor and heal you, heal you of the tumor? You believe that? All right, sir, you can have yours, also. See? All right. If you could just have faith, and don't doubt, God will sure do it. Amen.

L-276 How many believes out there, with all your heart now, that He's the same yesterday, today, and forever? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Do you believe that that's the resurrected Jesus? ["Amen."] Now, any of you know that I couldn't do that. I know nothing about you all, but He does.

L-277 Now the Bible also says this. How many of you is believers? Raise your hand. [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Now, Jesus said, His last Words to the Church, as He left, "Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; he that believeth not shall be damned. These signs shall follow them that believe: if they lay their hands on the sick, they shall recover." Do you believe that? ["Amen."] [Mark 16:15-18]

L-278 Now will you do something for me then? Now you lay your hands over on each other. Just don't do nothing but just put your hand over on somebody setting next to you, just around like that. That's it. Just touch one another's hand. All right.

L-279 I want to ask you a question. Want you to look at me. Remember, as firmly as the Scripture says this, Abraham never saw one more sign until the son came into existence. That's the last sign Abraham saw. There's always a sign. Let me tell you, Church, here is your last one. The appearing of the Son will be pretty soon. "In the hour when you think not, It'll be caught away." People go right on preaching, thinking they're getting saved, and everything. He'll be... Just like it was in coming of John, all, they go right on, done past the time. It's later than we think.
Now you've got your hands on one another.

L-280 And you have seen something that Jesus promised in this last days, he would do it, and here He's turned right around and done exactly what He said.

L-281 Now, you say you're a believer. I believe that. Now, you got your hands laying on somebody.

L-282 And His Presence is here now. Now, that's Him. I just seen a man get healed just then, just right then, with his hands laying on somebody else. See? It's--it's just what--what ought It to do.

L-283 But, you see, it comes into the time when the Laodicea church age is on. If it was during time of revival, it just light and go like that. [Brother Branham snaps his finger once--Ed.] But, see, it come when He was kicked out of the church. Remember, other day, when that earthquake? You remember the Laodicea church age? He's on the outside of the church, knocking, trying to get back in. See? That's where it's come, you see. He's trying to get back. He's wanting to identify Himself to you, for your--your prayer.

L-284 Now, don't you pray for yourself. You pray for the one that you got your hands on, 'cause they're praying for you. See? And, then, you believe with all your heart. Just pray the way you do in your church. If you pray loud, pray loud; you pray to yourself, pray to yourself. Whatever way you do in your church, you pray.

L-285 And say, "Lord Jesus, I am sure that I'm in Your Presence now. The great Lord Jesus that's raised up from the dead and has identified Himself right here in this auditorium way down here, and, my, close, or Tampa, Florida. I'm way down here, and here You are in this auditorium, tonight. And with the Spirit that You had on You when You were here, You sent It back among us. And we seen our own faith, or Brother Branham with faith, through a gift ministered to him, that he was born with. And here he had faith, to stand there and throw himself away from everything, knowing none of us. And You come in and used the gift, because he just relaxed himself. And You, he... You used it. Here was people up there on the platform, out here in the audience, total strangers, and It manifested the Word. The Word of God is manifested, know that He is the Word, the same yesterday, today, and forever. Here You are! And I'm a believer in You. And I have my hands on somebody, and they have their hands on me. Now, great Presence of Christ, heal this person."

L-286 And I'm going to pray for all of you. Now you pray for one another, as I pray for you all. And you'll be healed, every one of you, right now, every one that will believe it.

L-287 Heavenly Father, as this group of people here, tonight. And we--we thank You for Your Presence, Lord. That proves to us that our Christian religion is right. Mohammed religion, Buddha's, and all of them, they're dead and in the grave. But we got an empty tomb, and a living Christ Who is here with us, tonight, identifying Himself in the Person of the Holy Ghost, moving through us and showing that He is the Word for this hour. He is the Word, to make these promises of this hour live. And if He can make the identified promise, to identify Himself with, how much more will He keep His promise of healing, that we seen done through the years!

L-288 Look at them hands of the believers, Lord, laying on each other. I offer this prayer in their behalf, Lord, that each one of them will be healed. Grant it. May the power of Jesus Christ surge into every one of them. And may faith come, that they can... No, may not even know who that person is, got their hands laid upon them. But we know that You're here, and we're touching You with our faith.

L-289 Satan, in the Name of Jesus Christ, leave this audience. Come out of this people, that they might go and be free, in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
All right, brother.

L-290 How many of you now believe with all your heart that Jesus Christ makes you well? Stand up on your feet, say, "I believe." All right, now the prayer of faith is prayed. Wonderful. Fine. God bless you. That settles it. Amen.

L-291 Now, how many, with your hands hanging down like this, that did not believe on Christ, and have never accept Him as your Saviour, and you'd like just raise your hands to Him? Say, "In Your Presence, Lord, the same God that I believe will judge me at the Day of Judgment, He is here in the form of the Holy Ghost, I now will accept You as my Saviour." Raise up your hand, say, "I will do it." Yeah. God bless you. God bless you. God bless you, you, you. Another? You. God bless you. Wonderful. There, God bless you. Another? "I'll raise up my hands. I now want to accept Him while He's here, I'm in His Presence."

L-292 You'll never be any closer, till you see Him face to face. Because, here, all of His characteristics is identified right here now, healing the sick, and knowing the secret of the heart. He is the Word of this hour.

L-293 You believe that? Raise your hands now, anyone else. Anyone else now that wants to accept Him a Saviour, raise your hands way up high now, so we can see it. All right. God bless you. That's fine. Some, I guess, eight or ten, fifteen, did.

L-212 Now you just believe with all your heart. Don't doubt. Don't doubt. Just have faith in God. Let's start looking on this side over here somewhere. Somebody just look. You'll have to stand around there, all kinds of belief. Don't press at it; see, you jump over the top of it. It's so. It's like a part of you. See? Just relax yourself, and say, "Well, sure, that's the Word. I believe It. That little, old fellow up there doesn't know me. But I know Jesus. He's told the Truth about the Word, and I believe it." Just do it like that, say, "I'm sick and needy, and I have need." I can't heal you, and this don't heal, but it only identifies.

L-213 No wonder you people can be suspicious. You only--you only see just one touch of It here. It tells what will happen, and who will, whereabouts, and all about it. And never one time, It's never one time failed, in the tens of thousands of times, around the world. How many has followed It, and knows It's the truth. Raise up your hand. [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] See? Well, my! See? Never... It, It can't be nothing else but God, and be that accurate, see, because it's His promise. It never can fail. Now, He don't...

L-214 That don't heal you, 'cause He's already done that. He's just identifying He is here to keep that promise. Now, if He has kept that promise, He keeps the healing promise. That right, brothers? [The ministers say, "Amen."--Ed.] He keeps His healing promise if He keeps that promise. It's a more sure sign.

L-215 What if somebody was here in a wheel chair, and I picked them up, it could be a good case of psychology, or little something could make that person walk. But it can't discern the thoughts in the heart. See? That's one thing sure. To know what you done, who you are, and all about you, that takes God, alone, to be perfect each time.

L-216 Here, I--I wish--I wish I could explain this. There's no need me trying to explain it. You can't do it.

L-217 But now, if I could say this word, something inside of me that changed to another dimension. See? I'm looking right at that Pillar of Fire that followed Israel through the wilderness. How many ever seen the picture of It? Let's see your hand. Sure. I'm looking right at It, right here, looking right straight at It, amber, kind of yellowish-looking green, turning around.

L-218 I see a woman moving up. She is setting right here, yeah, looking right at me. And she is setting right down here, looking right at me. And she suffers. She is praying for a disease that she has. It's a blood disease. It's a diabetes. That's right. That's both of you. You two young boys sitting there, looking at me, got diabetes. See?

L-219 Now, what is that? You were thinking about it, wasn't you, trying to open your heart? I seen you just come right in. It done just exactly the way He done before His crucifixion. Now, you don't know me, do you? Neither one of you know me. If that's right, raise up your hands, if you don't know me. All right. All right. You don't know me. Then, it had to be Him, 'cause I don't know you. It had to be Him.

L-220 If you'll just believe it, with all your heart, God will make it manifest. You have to believe it though.

L-221 Here, there is a man whispered, said something to somebody. He's sitting right here looking at me, kind of a heavy-set, wearing a white shirt. We're strangers to one another, sir. That right? He's sitting right by you. Do I know you? No. It's behind you, sir. No, behind you. The man with the white shirt. Just hold your place. You, you believe. Man with the white shirt. If God... That's you. Yes. Looked around. If God will tell me what's your trouble, will you believe He'll heal it? You got heart trouble. If that's right, raise up your hand. All right. You accept your healing?

L-222 Now, there is a man out here, raised His hand, somewhere along in here. It's in this little... You, you believe me to be God's servant, His prophet? You do? You're also suffering with a heart trouble. You have arthritis, also. That's your wife sitting next to you, and she suffers with arthritis. And she also is having dizzy spells. If that's right, raise up your hand. That's right. Do you believe I can tell you who you are? Mr. and Mrs. Jones, you can believe, believe now and be healed.

L-223 Believe with all your heart. I'm a stranger to you. Have faith in God. Don't doubt. Just believe.

L-224 Here sits a man, kind of gray-headed, sitting right here on the end, combs his hair over, sideways. There's that Light standing by you, sir!...?... You believe me to be God's prophet, His servant? You believe that hay fever is going to leave you, and you'll be all right? You do? Raise up your hand. Now, I'm a total stranger. That's what you pray.

L-225 Next man, he raised up his hand, too, because he believed. Well, what... He hasn't got hay fever, but he's got arthritis. That's right. That's right. Wave your hand, sir. That's right. Now, do you believe? God will give him that grace, to have faith.

L-226 This little lady sitting right here at the end. You believe, lady, believe with all your heart? Uh-huh. You believe that that stomach trouble is going to leave you? You do? You got a burden on your heart, haven't you? That's for your daughter. She isn't here. You believe that I tell you where she lives at? She lives in California. She has got a dark shadow over her. She is going to die if something isn't done about it, because she's shadowed with cancer. If that's right, raise up your hand. You believe I can tell you who you are, by the help of God? Jesus told Simon who he was. Is that right? Mrs. Ackerman. That's right. Raise up your hand. Uh-huh. Right.

L-227 A little missionary lady sitting there next to you, she is kind of worried about some things, too. That's right. Praying for a friend, all run down, yourself. Is that right? And you're a missionary? Believe with all your heart. I don't know you, never seen you. But that's true.

L-228 The lady sitting behind you, gray hair, with stomach trouble. You believe that God will make you well of that? You have that, also.

L-229 Do you believe with all your heart? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] See? What is it? It's the identified. Now, the Word said so, now here He is coming into your hearts and revealing Himself just like He did. Isn't that exactly what He done before His crucifixion? Raise your hand. Then, He is risen from the dead. Do you believe it? ["Amen."] And now if you're in His Divine Presence, is your eyes open now to recognize that the very God that you're going to stand before at the Day of the Judgment, is right here among you now? And He knows everything you're going to thinking about.
Will you bow your head now?

L-230 Are you thinking about Him? You'd like Him to be your Saviour? If you are, would you stand up for a word of prayer? You who want Him to be your Saviour, we just stand up for a word of prayer. God bless you, sir. God bless you, lady. God bless you, lady. God bless you. Just look. Now, we just stand up, just a moment, so I can pray for you. Stand up. "I want to accept Him as my Saviour. In the Divine Presence of His Being now, I want to accept Him as my Saviour." Would there be some more? I believe there is, so if you'll just stand to your feet. God bless you. God bless you.

L-231 Do it now, see. Don't wait till tomorrow. Tomorrow might be too late. Today He's your Saviour, tomorrow He might be your Judge. See? So now, if He's speaking to your heart, just the same as you opened your heart. God bless you, you. That's right. Just keep standing. If you believe with all your heart, will you accept Him, while you're in His Presence? Would you? Would you do that? Would you just accept Him as your Saviour?

L-232 I wonder, if you'll do that, while you put your hand over your heart, like this, each one of you. Let us pray. Now you pray in your own way, "God, be merciful to me, a sinner."

L-233 And then when you do that, I want you, in a few minutes, to come up here and testify that you've accepted Him as your Saviour. "For if you'll--if you'll witness Me before men, him will I witness before My Father and the holy Angels. If you're ashamed of Me before men, him I'll be ashamed of before My Father and the holy Angels." Now notice, remember, He knows your heart. He has proved that. He is the Word. Now I want you to do that, in a few minutes.
I want you, now, accept Him, as we pray. [Luke 9:26]

L-234 Lord Jesus, when that Light was moving over, around the people, visions were breaking forth over the people. All of a sudden, It stopping. And coming back, and You said for me to do this. "Obedience is better than sacrifice."

L-235 And, Lord Jesus, in this--this company of people, many of them is believing on You right now. They're accepting You as--as their Saviour. They believe. They know that it's true. They was right here when it happened, and know that You have risen from the dead, and You're still alive, and know that we're going to Judgment, to meet You at the Judgment Seat of Christ. And we want pardon, Lord. You said, in Your Own Word. I'll quote it, Father, just so that--that we'll know. You said, "He that heareth My Words," that's exactly what we been talking tonight, "and believeth on Him that sent Me," they do, "hath," present tense, "everlasting Life and shall never go into the Judgment, but has passed from death unto Life." Now, that's Your Word, Lord, just the same as John 3:16 and all the rest the Word. You said, "He that will believe." [John 5:24]

L-236 "He that will confess Me," again, He said, "before men, him will I confess before My Father and the holy Angels. But he that's ashamed of Me before men, him will I be ashamed of before My Father and the holy Angels." [Matthew 10:32], [Luke 9:26]

L-237 Now, anywhere in Divine Presence, as You've come tonight, and we're all here, Christian believers, feel the Presence of Your great Being, that great august feeling of the Deity, or God moving around, among us. No wonder, Lord, It blinds the eyes of the unbeliever who doesn't believe the Word. And how It opens the eyes of those who will believe!

L-238 Now, You've opened the eyes of these people, by revealing Yourself to them. Now, Lord, open the hearts of these people and make Your abode with them, Father. They're Yours. I give them to You. They're trophies of Your Word. Your Word has called them, and Your Word has identified to them. And now they've identified themselves, by standing up to give witness that they want You to forgive their sins. You said, "He that comes to Me, I will in no wise cast out." And heavens and earth will pass away, but Your Word will not fail. They are Yours, Lord. They belong to You. In the Name of Jesus Christ, I claim every one. And Your Name shall be praised for it. [John 6:37]

L-239 May they be included in the Bride, go in the resurrection. If I never get to speak to them, upon the earth, or shake their hands, and the privilege of baptizing them into Christian baptism, may, God, on that Day when it's all over and we sit down at the Wedding Supper, may I have the privilege, look across the table. They say, "Oh, why, it was down in Tampa, Florida, that night, Brother Branham, that I stood." I say, "Now here He is. See, He's the same." Grant it, Lord. Keep them with Thy grace. In the Name of Jesus Christ, I ask it. Amen.
And you may be seated.

L-240 Just a few minutes, we're going to call for you to come up here and give identification to your test.

L-241 Now, you that stood to your feet, you that stood up while the prayer was going on, did you witness something another, that you have done the right thing, and you believe He is the Son of God, and you do now accept Him as your personal Saviour? Raise up your hand, say, "I do now accept Him." God bless you. Looks like one hundred percent. "I have now accepted Him as my Saviour."

L-242 Now your next step is to be filled with the Holy Spirit. You have a room for that, don't you, brother, a room for that here? Yes, sir. They'll advise you further in that.

L-243 Now, to finish the prayer line, let's... Now, don't be moving around. See, every time you move, that interrupts the Spirit of God. See? Now don't move. Here I am, late again. Lay your hands over on each other, and just lay your hands on one another and pray for one another. Now that's it. That's it. Each one of you is believers.

L-244 Oh, yes, don't you feel good? Say, "Amen." [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Don't you feel like now that you're right in the Presence of God, that sweet, humble feeling? May our souls never be so carried away with the world and things. When, that lovely sweet feeling of our great Messiah, Jesus Christ, right among us now in the form of the Holy Spirit. The world don't know nothing about it. But we know Him. We've seen Him. We seen Him identify Himself.

L-245 Remember, in the days of Abraham, that--that God that was in human flesh, He never did go down there in Sodom. There was two preachers went down there, but not Him. He stayed with the elected, called-out Church. That's what His Message was to. Isn't it wonderful that He comes to us, today? We see ourselves identified as the royal Seed of Abraham. Who, with His back turned to the tent, told what Sarah was thinking. Same thing comes right here tonight, does the same thing, in human flesh. Jesus said it would happen, "The days of when the Son of man was revealed." [Genesis 18:1-2]

L-246 Now, He said this next thing, "These signs shall follow them that believe; if they lay their hands on the sick, they shall recover." [Mark 16:18]

L-247 Now with your hands together, your hearts together, let's bow our heads now and pray for the sick.

L-248 Our gracious, Heavenly Father, we bring to You this waiting audience, and in this Divine Presence, O God. No wonder those disciples, Cleopas and his friend, it taken them all day to get over to Emmaus. But, a few moments, they were back. They were with the rest of the disciples. They didn't come to argue their religious standpoints, but they come because they had seen Him. They were in... They had met Him. They--they heard Him preach, and they seen Him identify Himself, that He was the risen Christ.

L-249 You are the Word. The Word has been preached. The Word has been made manifest. "The--the Word discerns the thoughts that's in the heart." It says so. And we are sure as they are, Lord, just as sure as they were. We see the sign of the resurrection, and we know it's identification of You revealing Yourself, as Your Church and the Word has to be one, because husband and wife is one. The Bride and the Word become one. [Hebrews 4:12]

L-250 O God, when we see It among us, how we rejoice in It; and seeing the same attributes, the same picture being taken, scientifically.

L-251 The Angel of the Lord, that brought Israel out of Egypt and took them to the promised land, "was made flesh and dwelt among us," ascended up on High. He said, "I come from God, and I go to God." [John 13:3]

L-252 Few months later, here He was on the road to Damascus, with Saul, that struck him down. And Saul, seeing that same Pillar of Fire, said, "Lord, Who are You?" [Acts 9:5]

L-253 He said, "I'm Jesus. It's hard for you to kick against the pricks." [Acts 9:5]

L-254 O Lord, to see, two thousand years later, here He is, scientifically proven, and prove by faith, in the church, and doing the same thing He did, to identify the Scriptures exactly for this day. We don't disbelieve anymore, Lord. We believe. Help our unbelief. May our hearts be turned loose.

L-255 May sickness lose its power. These believers has hands on one another. The prayer of faith is being made right now. "It shall save the sick, and God shall raise them up."

L-256 Satan, turn this audience loose. In the Name of Jesus Christ, let them go, that they might be free from sickness and diseases, for the glory of God.

L-257 Now just keep yourself shut in. Just start praying. Pray in your own way. Lay your hands upon one another now. Just keep praying, say, "Lord God," in your way now. I prayed for you, now you pray for one another. Get your hands on your neighbor there, say, "Lord, heal this woman. Heal this man. I believe it. I claim it for them. They're claiming it for me. I believe that You are here." Why, it would be numb, to not believe that. Believe it, with all your heart.

L-258 Lord God make each one of you whole! Just pray right out, and believe. May the Lord heal every one of you, from the soles of your feet to the crown of your head. Amen.
