L-221 Now I want you to pray, each one of you. Just whatever is wrong, you just ask Him. Now He is the High Priest.

L-222 By the way, how many ministers are in the building, raise up your hands, everywhere? I guess there is thirty or forty. Now how many of you know this, that the Book of Hebrews, the New Testament, tells us that right now "Jesus Christ is the High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities"? Would you raise your hands and say, "I know it's the Truth. The Bible says that"? That's right. All right.

L-223 Then if He is the High Priest, He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Then if you touched Him tonight, He would act like He did back there. Is that right? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Like He did yesterday!

L-224 Well, when that woman touched His garment. You say, "Oh, but if I could!" Your faith touch it. The physical, He never felt. It was the faith of the woman, that touched the garment. Your faith can touch Him now. Do you believe that?

L-225 Then if God's Word is manifested, He will reveal that same thing and show the same thing. Do you believe that with all your heart? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] All right, now just trust Him, believe Him. Don't doubt. But have faith in God, that He will do it. Somebody this way, just pray and just believe with all your heart, then somebody in this direction. And if God will let one or two people that you know, that is infallible, how many of you will believe then that we recognize His Presence? ["Amen."] Then that's all is necessary. That's all that's necessary.

L-226 Lady sitting right there, looking at me there, suffering with heart trouble. Do you believe God will heal the heart, make you well? You have heart trouble. If that's right, raise up your hand. Am I a stranger to you, don't know you? But that's truth, all right, you, the lady, grayheaded lady sitting there. All right.

L-227 The lady with the green, you raised up your hand there, that you--you... Your trouble is arthritis. Do you believe that God will make you well, with arthritis? If that's right, raise up your hand. See? All right. See? Just happen to raise... Now Something come over you, didn't it? See, that Light. How many ever seen the picture of that Light? There It hung, right over the woman. All at once a real sweet feeling come over you. That's what did it, see. God blessed you, healed you, make you well. Do you believe it?

L-228 Do you believe He knows what's wrong with you? Only He can heal you. It's a dark shadow, epilepsy. If that's right, raise up your hand, young lady. Think a little different than you did a few minutes ago, don't you? You see when I stopped that call, doing that? That's what it was for, was for you. Now if you'll believe with all your heart, them spells will leave you. Will you accept it and believe it with all your heart? God bless you. Go, believe it.

L-229 This lady sitting right here, suffering with stomach trouble, do you believe that God will make you well? Right here on the end, do you believe that God will heal you, make you well of the stomach trouble? You do, you accept it? All right. God bless you.

L-230 I'm a total stranger to the woman, don't know her. She is just a woman sitting there, but God does it. Do you believe with all your heart now? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] All right, just have faith.

L-231 The lady sitting right here on the end, suffering with a gall bladder trouble. Got gallstones, liver, it bothers you. If that's right, raise up your hand; total stranger to you, if that's right. See?

L-232 A lady sitting right next to you, she is suffering, too. See It, can't you see that Light over that woman? The lady has got a kidney trouble. That's right. She's got uremic poisoning in her kidneys. That right, raise up your hand. The lady that touched you then, she is suffering with a--a nervous affliction. You're both strangers, you're not from here. That's right, isn't it? You're from Iowa. You're from the city of Des Moines. That's right, isn't it? Do you believe that God can tell me what your name is, like He did Peter? If you'll believe with all your heart! Your name is Mrs. Wolff. That's right, raise up your hand. All right, go back healed now, Jesus Christ makes you well.

L-233 Do you recognize His Presence, you know He is here? Then won't you lay your hands over on one another now, while the Holy Spirit is upon you. That's the Holy Spirit on you. Now every one of you can be healed now if you'll just believe it. Do you believe it with all your heart? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]

L-234 Heavenly Father, there is nothing left now but faith. We now renounce all darkness. When the revival, as I said at the beginning, the wave come down upon the water to churn it up-and-down, to--to--to take the unbelief out of it; now while the Holy Ghost is waving back and forth through the people here, may all unbelief be taken away, and may the power of Almighty God set every sufferer free tonight.

L-235 I rebuke the Devil. Satan, you are nothing but a bluff, and you're exposed right here among the people, by the Scriptural evidence of the living resurrected Jesus. I adjure thee, by the living God, come out of this people and leave them go, for the glory of God.

L-236 All that accept your healing, stand on your feet now and say, "I do believe. No matter what happens, how long it takes, I still know I'm going to be well. I accept it, with all my heart."

L-237 Raise up your hands now. "Thank You, Lord." Praise the Lord. That's right, give Him praise. Now just raise your hands and praise Him for your healing, the way you do in your churches. Brother...

L-182 Now notice, for instance, here comes a little policeman out there on the highway, he is so little till his cap holds his ears down, and he won't weigh over about a hundred pounds. Now how much power has he got to stop one of them cars? And there some of them just three or four abreast, just as hard as they can pour down that highway, at three hundred horsepower in each one. He couldn't even stop one horsepower. And here these cars are. But let that big badge shine, and let him raise up that hand! He might not have power, but he's got authority. Listen at the brakes squeak, and run sideways, and everybody stop. Why? Because he has got authority.

L-183 I don't have any power. You don't have any power. But we got the authority, amen, the badge of faith hanging on the Word, "I believe It. It's the Truth." That's what stops. Then you can be persistent.

L-184 Little policeman stand out there and blow that little whistle and hold his hand up, I'll tell you, everything is going to stop. It's his authority. It's his authority, to believe.

L-185 Now you believe, each one of you. Now you standing in there, now don't be discouraged, just--just sit there and press through, say, "Lord, this man knows nothing about me. I am sure of that. If he can speak, to tell me, I'll--I'll believe with all my heart." Now what would we know now?

L-186 Who is the Healer? Jesus Christ. Is that right? Well, then, if He is here present, well, the only thing we have to do is just ask Him. "And He is the High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities." Is that right? All right. Then, "He is the same yesterday, today, and forever." Today He is the High Priest. How, how did He act when a woman touched His garment two thousand years ago? He turned around and told her what her trouble was, and said her faith had healed her. Is that right? Well, He is the same today, would have to act the same, 'cause He is the same.
Now is your prayer line ready?

L-187 Now here is a woman coming up here. As far as I know, I--I have never seen her. She is a total stranger to me, as far as I know. We're strangers to one another. [The sister says, "I was in your meeting in 1947, 1950 through '53."--Ed.] She said she had been in my meetings in '47 and in '53." But... [" '51 through '53."] '51 through '53. But to know you, I don't. ["No."] No.

L-188 See, just like if--if I met you a week or two weeks from now, I probably wouldn't never know you. There's a lot of people been in the meetings, tens of thousands since then, you see, and I wouldn't know. But as far as what I mean, do I, "do you know me," you know me because you've been in the meeting. But me to know you, or know what your trouble is, or what you've done between now and then, or before then, or what you're intending to do, of course, I wouldn't. No.

L-189 But now so that we won't bear long with each person, to try to... The other night, I--I stopped before. I didn't see; I--I--I didn't think there was any more left. I left two or three standing in the line. I shouldn't have done that. I just didn't do it. I don't know why. I just... Well, everybody, it looked like it was the climax of time. You don't want to baby people. You want them to be rugged enough to reach up there and take a hold of what you're saying, see, and then they're healed. If you don't, why, they're--they're not healed.

L-190 Now this lady here, our first time meeting. Now if He is "the same yesterday, today, and forever," now if He was standing here with this suit that He gave me, through some good person give me this suit, now if He was standing here with this suit on, could He heal you? No. No. He has already done it, you see, "He was wounded for our transgressions." He couldn't heal you. How many knows that to be the Truth? It's already done.

L-191 Any sinner here, He couldn't save you; He has already done it. You have to accept it.

L-192 Now if He was standing here with this suit on, that He gave me, He could... The only thing that He could do, would say... If you would say, "I am sick. I am needy. Or, I have a loved one that's sick," or whatever, "I am financially in trouble. I--I have domestic trouble," or whatever it is. He couldn't, He couldn't give it to you. He would just tell you that He had already purchased it. Now how many understands that? That's true, see, see, 'cause it's already done. See? He can't do...

L-193 If you've been redeemed from anything, the--the pawn-broker cannot hold you any longer, if you're redeemed. If you've got the receipt, that it's redeemed, that settles it. He can't hold it no more.

L-194 We've got the Receipt, see; now if you've got the faith to cash it in! See? But now if He was standing here, and me basing all my campaign upon, "He is the same yesterday, today, and forever," He would know what your trouble was. And that would surely... Me not knowing it, it would certainly identify it would have to be Him. It would have to be some power, some power. It depends on what you think the power will be. Cause, you know that I don't know you, humanly speaking. And it would have to be some power. And if you believe that to be Him... And if you didn't believe it to be Him, course, you shouldn't be standing here. And, but, if you do believe it to be Him, then if He could tell you what you've done, or what you're here for, or--or something, that would increase your faith, wouldn't it?

L-195 Would it increase yours out there? When, here is my hand; as far as I know, I've never seen the woman in my life, only just some in the audience, or--or maybe she was in the prayer line, or something like that, years and years ago. Any recollection of her; no. But may the Lord help me now. As a gift...

L-196 See, like these ministers here. You already know, if you've heard me preach, I--I'm not a preacher. I have no education. I couldn't call myself a preacher, but there is man here that's more able to do that than I am.

L-197 But my gift comes from God, 'cause I love Him. And--and this I believe, "gifts and callings are without repentance." They're predestinated of God. They're each generation. And my part in this was to that Word, for It to live again, become the Word to discern and know. That's prophetic, which is promised according to Malachi 4, to be in this day, makes us perfectly in the last day.

L-198 Now if the Lord Jesus tells me where your trouble is, will you believe me to be His prophet, or His servant? May He grant it. You are suffering with a--a skin condition. There is something wrong with your skin. That's right. [The sister says, "Yes."--Ed.] Now if that's right, raise up your hand. See? So...

L-199 Now I keep feeling that coming from out there, somebody said, "He guessed that." Now wait just a minute. I did not guess that, lady. Some, see, they... You can't hide a thought now, see, 'cause He is here now. And I take every spirit in here under my control, in the Name of Jesus Christ, see, for the glory of God. I didn't guess that.

L-200 That's a nerve condition. You have a nerve condition that you're... that's bothering you. You're praying for a loved one. [The sister says, "Yes."--Ed.] That's a woman. ["Yes."] That is your daughter-in-law. ["Yes."] And she is suffering with epilepsy. ["Yes."] That's right.
Now I didn't guess that. All right.

L-201 Just believe it! [The sister says, "Is she delivered?"--Ed.] You believe it with all your heart; and as you have believed, so will it be to you. I believe it. ["She is delivered?"] I--I will believe it. If you'll believe it, it will be.

L-202 See, I can't deliver it on my faith, it's got to be delivered on her faith. See? See? Understand.

L-203 How do you do? I've just lost my mother, about two years ago. And when I see you coming up like that, it brings memory. Wouldn't I be an awful person standing here, representing Jesus Christ, and be a deceiver? That would be horrible for me to do a--a thing like that. But I--I am not a deceiver. I am His servant. And if God will let me, by His grace, know something about you, well, you'll believe that it comes from God? [The sister says, "Yes."--Ed.]

L-204 Now that the people will understand. Look here, see. That one discernment was more than if I had preached till midnight. Jesus said, "I perceive that virtue has gone." If that was that for the Son of God, how much more for me a sinner? See? Daniel saw one vision, was troubled at his head for many days. How many knows that? Sure. See? You don't realize the grace that God grants us.

L-205 Now, the lady suffers with a stomach condition. It's in your stomach. I see you backing from the table. And it's caused from a--a nervous condition that causes the stomach to be that, which makes the food not be able to digest. It's a peptic ulcer, really what it is, in the stomach. And you believe that God will heal that for you? [The sister says, "I do."--Ed.] You accept it as being healed? You believe that God will take it away from you. God bless you. Go, and may the Lord God grant it to you.
Real reverent.

L-206 How do you do? We are strangers to each other, I suppose. Our really first time meeting, is it? [The sister says, "I been in the meetings."--Ed.] You've been in the meetings. But me knowing you, I do not.

L-207 [Brother Branham pauses, and then turns toward the audience--Ed.] You was asking for yourself. If you'll believe, that arthritis will leave you. Yes. She was sitting there, bowing her head, praying. It'll leave, if you'll believe it. Your husband, do you believe that God can reveal to me what his trouble is? Do you believe that God can tell me? You was so happy to know that she was going to be well of that. You have a prostate trouble that bothers you. Raise up your hand.

L-208 I never seen them, in my life. Tell me what they touched. Now just ask that question. What did they touch? They never touched me; they're thirty feet from me. But they touched that High Priest.

L-209 If I am a stranger to you people, wave your hand like this. You--you--you two people sitting here, if I... Just wave your hand like this, if I'm a stranger to you. See? See? You were just sitting there. And the lady was praying, you see; and He, standing here, turns just like He did in the Bible. Not--not me turning; Him turning me.

L-210 Look, I don't know those things. It's just like this microphone, it's a perfect mute without something speaking through it. But you can hear me through this microphone, (is that right?) but the microphone can't speak, itself. It has no voice. I don't know those people. Can't you realize it's in the Presence of God, that's using that, to show you His Presence? Press right through!

L-211 Now we being strangers to each other, you are younger than I. We was probably born years apart and miles apart, and here we meet for the first time. Now when It went there, I can only go; It's a Light, I watch It, you see. The Holy Spirit is a Light, we know that. But if the Lord Jesus will help me to know what your trouble is, will you believe me to be His servant, and know that it's not me, that it's Him?

L-212 I am just His servant, like that microphone. Now, this, this desk here is a part of the furniture of the house, but it wasn't made to speak; it holds my Bible. The microphone won't hold my Bible; it carries my voice. Well, there is different gifts in the church; some it's His voice, some is a vision, some is other things they do. But I am just by vision, as His servant.

L-213 Now if God will let me know what's your trouble, what's you're here for, you will believe me, and believe that it is the Word of God. You are suffering with an infection. The infection is in the skin. [The sister says, "That's right."--Ed.]

L-214 See that? She knows whether it's the truth or not. See? Now, the more you would talk to her, the more would be said. She is a very fine person.

L-215 By the way, look here just a minute; then the rest of them, if you have to bring them a little faster. Let's just talk a few minutes, being that you're such a nice person. Now you know that something has happened to you. Now between you and I there is a Light. Did you ever see the picture of It? It's standing right between me and you. I'm looking at you, through that Light. See? And you believe God can tell me who you are? He told Simon who he was.

L-216 How many believes that now? Here we are with our hands up, we're total strangers.

L-217 They call you "Florence," and your last name is McAllister. [The sister says, "That's right. That's right."--Ed.] Do you believe God can tell me where you come from? ["Yes."] You're not from here. ["No."] You're from a place called Lawrence, Kansas. ["That's right."] That's right. Now return back, Jesus Christ makes you well.

L-218 Have faith in God. See? See what? Now please be reverent. Don't move. See, don't move.

L-219 God heals diabetes. Do you believe that? Do you believe He'd heal you? Just go ahead, and say, "Thank You, Lord." And believe it with all your heart, and you'll be healed.

L-220 Do you believe God can heal that female trouble that you have? Then just go on, saying, "Thank You, Lord. I believe it with all my heart."

L-221 All right, let the lady come. You have a lady's trouble, and you also have diabetes. Do you believe that God will make you well? Just keep walking, saying, "Thank You, Lord," and believe it with all your heart now.

L-222 Come. A nervous condition causes a stomach trouble. Do you believe you could eat your supper now? Go, saying, "Thank You, Lord." Eat your supper and believe with all your heart.

L-223 God heals heart trouble. Do you believe He'll heal your heart trouble? All right. Go, believing it, and He will do it, you see, if you believe.

L-224 What if I didn't say anything to you, just to show faith that I believe you have, just lay hands on you, do you believe you would get well? Come by. You were already healed when you left up there, with that. It's true.

L-225 Now, come. Come. Course, anyone sees this woman is a limping, that's been all of her life. But another thing you have, is a stomach trouble that's bothering you, that you want... Just keep walking, say, "Thank You, Lord." Believe with all your heart, and go, and you believe it.

L-226 Do you believe God will heal that arthritis, and let you get well, and you go home? Go, believing it with all your heart.

L-227 How many out there believes, all of you? Here sits a man sitting right here looking at me here. Don't you see that Light hanging on this man right here?

L-228 Really, what he is troubled about, is about an overweight problem. That's right. Raise your hand if that. Do you believe God will heal you? Your wife sitting by you there, you believe God can tell me what her trouble is? Do you believe? Will you, lady? You believe me to be His prophet, His servant? That blinds people when you say "prophet." Do you believe me to be His servant? You believe God can tell me what your trouble is? High blood pressure. Believe with all your heart now, and it'll leave you, 'cause you believe.

L-229 This colored boy sitting out here on the end of the seat, watching intensely, what do you think about this, sir? Do you believe it to be of God, you sitting there? You was looking at me so earnestly. I don't know you. You're a stranger to me. But you're suffering from a trouble. Do you believe God can tell me what it is? You do? It's an allergy. That's right. Do you believe that God will heal you? One great thing about you, is this, one of your greatest troubles is that you are backslid. You really want to come back to God. If that's true, raise up your hand, then come here. [The brother rises and comes forward--Ed.] Your sins are forgiven you, my brother.

L-230 You say, "How do you know that?" The same One that told me what was wrong with him.

L-231 How many in here wants your sins forgiven? Will you rise to your feet? You want your sins forgiven? I just want to see if you're honest enough to do it. Thank you. Wonder if you'd walk right out here and stand here with this man that's just been forgiven, say, "I want my sins forgiven. I'm honest about it"? You can't...

L-232 Come on, there is more than that here. Now, if discernment discerns sickness and diseases, it discerns sin. You know that. How would I know this man was a sinner? That's it, come right out and come right down. We just... Will you do it, just for a moment? Come here and stand just a moment, say, "I want to be forgiven, brother. I want God to forgive me of my wrong. I realize that I'm in His Presence. I don't care what my neighbors think. I--I'm coming anyhow. I'm perseverant. I want to be saved, tonight. I believe God. I want to come right now and have all my sins washed away."

L-233 Is it alright to call ministers? How many ministers are in here, that believes that these people has a right to be saved by the grace of God? I want every minister that believes it, come stand around here with them now while we pray, every minister that's interested in lost souls. I didn't think I was going to do this, but I know better than to disobey His Voice. He told me to do this. It might be their last time, I don't know.

L-234 How many knows that this is what He did when He was here on earth? Then it's bound to be Him again. It's impossible for a man, any human being, to do a thing like that. We are in His Presence. And here we see Him, tonight, doing... "If I be lifted up, I'll draw all man unto Me." See? We see Him here doing the same thing He did when He was here on earth. Can't we be perseverant now? Press right in. What caused us to come here? What caused all this, anyhow? It's God. Don't you believe that? [John 12:32]

L-235 I want each one of you minister brothers to walk forward and put your hands upon one of those confessing people there.

L-236 Now, my dear brother, sister, you who are confessing at the altar, what made you come? You didn't come by your own power. You come because that something convinced you that you were wrong. You want to be forgiven. When you seen that poor colored boy, that Ethiopian boy standing there, gone away from God, and the Holy Spirit revealed that He was a sinner. That same Holy Spirit just never called you out from my lips, but It called you, and here you are, tonight, standing the same way that boy was. Confess your sins now before God. Believe Him with all your heart, and He'll forgive every sin that you have committed, and take you back tonight on the grounds of your confession and fellowship. He'll do it if you'll just believe Him.

L-237 Now let's bow our heads, everywhere in the audience, and everybody real reverent. Now let us pray. Each one of you confess your sins. He is here. The Holy Spirit is here. That's what is calling. Now just believe it with all your heart, confess that you're wrong, ask Him to forgive you. And each one of you brothers pray with these people.

L-238 Heavenly Father, we come now in the Name of the Lord Jesus, thanking You for Your great grace and power towards us-ward, Lord. That we, the unworthy ones, way down here in a late, closing of time. We ask that Your mercy be extended, Lord, on down, on until the last soul be brought in. Tonight, because of Your appearing before us, it made people press beyond every circumstance, to get up here, to believe that this is the hour that their sins will be forgiven them, and that they will be free, from this night on. Grant it, Heavenly Father. May every sin pass from them.

L-239 You said, "He that will come to Me I will in nowise cast out. Though your sins be like scarlet, yet they shall be white like wool; red like crimson, they shall be white like snow." We plunge beneath the flood of the Blood of Jesus Christ. By faith we take this people, confessing, into that Presence of God, into the Blood of the Son of God, and ask forgiveness for them. We ask this petition in Jesus' Name. Remit every sin and take them into Your care, Father. As they confess, bring them back upon the basis of Your promise. You said You would do it, and I know You will. They are Yours, Father. We give them to Thee, in the Name of Jesus Christ. [John 6:37], [Isaiah 1:18]

L-240 Each one of you that's standing around the altar now, that's truly confessed you're wrong; and in the Presence of God, you believe me to be His prophet, and believe that I have told you the Truth upon this, and you believe that your sins are gone; and you now, by faith, you break through that veil, into the Presence of God, and say, "Lord, I believe You right now, and accept You"? Raise your hands, and say, "I do it." Each one around the altar, raise your hands and say, "I do it. I now believe it." God bless you. Amen. That's the way to do it. That's it. Just by faith, break through that veil.

L-241 Now while you're right on the same grounds that you're standing on, that you're forgiven, now, brothers, lay your hands back on them again for the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Right where you're standing, lay your hands right on them now, and pray that they receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit, standing right here.

L-242 Lord Jesus, send Your power upon them, like a rushing mighty wind. Send another repeat of Pentecost; and fill the people, not the room, the people, with the Fire of Holy Spirit, and forgiveness, and demonstrations of power, through Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-156 Now, see, you just let yourself believe Him now. Come. Don't let your mind go dormant, as people says. Don't do that. You don't come to God, haphazardly. You come to Him, intelligently, with His Word. You bring the Word before you, and say, "Lord, You made the promise. I've asked you to open my eyes. Let my faith stop the Lord Jesus, tonight. May He turn to me, and tell me like He... the woman that did, many years ago." And you believe with all your heart.

L-157 Now, as far as I can see, in the audience, there is not a person that I see that I know. You're all strangers.

L-158 And sometimes you think it's just these people up here in front get it. No, no. Way... I don't care where you are, you just believe. I don't care, anywhere in the building. He knows who you are and where you are.

L-159 Now see if He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, if your faith can stop Him, like Bartimaeus' did. You don't have to be a beggar. You don't have to scream out like he did. The scream didn't stop Him. He didn't hear that. It's the faith that stopped Him. "Thy faith!" He didn't say "thy scream has saved thee." "Thy faith has saved thee." See, "Thy faith has saved thee." All right.
The Lord be blessed! [Mark 10:52], [Hebrews 13:8]

L-160 I wonder if that minister sitting there, the elder brother that's been preaching for sixty-five years, would do me a favor? Will you do it, sir? Lay your hand on that woman sitting next to you, and the heart trouble will leave her. All right, that's it. Do you believe it, sister? All right, that's all.

L-161 What did she touch? I've never seen her, but it happened. "If thou canst believe!" Do you believe now? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]

L-162 Does that identify Him? Is your eyes open? Then look at Him, He is wonderful, the mighty conqueror! There is nothing, no creed, no denomination, no scientist, or nothing, can stop Him. He is God. Amen. I challenge any person in here to believe it, that He is present now.

L-163 How many ever seen that picture of the Angel of the Lord on the paper, that they got in Washington? He is standing right here at this platform right now. Right! I know It's here. I know it. I'm not a fanatic. I'm far from that. I'm telling you the Scriptural Truth. You believe it and see what happens.

L-164 Here, here It is again. This little colored lady sitting out there on the end, looking around. Really, she is wanting a favor from God. She is a minister, and she is praying for God to help her in her ministry. Isn't that right, lady? Raise up your hand, if that's right. I never seen her, she is just as much stranger to me as that little, colored woman was down in Tennessee that time.

L-165 There is a man, colored man sitting there looking at you, kind of overjoyed by it. Do you believe me to be God's servant, sir? You do? That woman touched you just like they did, say, "Be of a good cheer." Not me calling you, but He is calling you. If you believe that with all your heart, that sugar diabetes will leave you. Do you believe it? Amen. All right, then you can have it. Amen. Praise the Lord! That's it.
What did he touch? He never touched me. He touched Him. [Matthew 14:27], [John 16:33]

L-166 Here, here sits a young, white boy, sitting here looking at me. A deep desire in his heart. I never knew you, but you're seeking the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Right, you. Do you believe it? Believe, you will receive It. Do you believe it, young man? All right, you can receive It if you'll believe it.

L-167 Here is a little woman way back here. She is suffering. It's her left arm. She has had it broke. It's got a knot on it, the left arm. In her right arm, she has got neuritis and rheumatism. She is going to miss it. Mrs. Council, do you believe with all your heart? You believe that God will make... You're healed. Jesus Christ makes you well.

L-168 I never seen the woman or heard of her, in my life. Jehovah knows that to be true. Amen.

L-169 Here is a little, colored lady sitting here. She is suffering with complications, many things. One thing, you got trouble with your eyes. Not because you're wearing glasses; but your eyes are going bad, anyhow. You have arthritis. If that's right, wave your hand. You have pains in your chest. That right? Wave your hand. You have a stomach trouble. If that's right, wave your hand. Do you believe that He will make you well? Do you believe God can tell me who you are? Edna Gerald. If you believe it with all your heart, believe it, and you can have your healing. Amen.

L-170 Do you believe He is the same yesterday, today, and forever? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]

L-171 What about this woman sitting here on the end, the second row here, looking right at me? She has got trouble with her feet. Do you believe that God will heal your feet? If you do, raise up your hand. I don't know her, never seen her.

L-172 What about the lady sitting next to her? Do you... Look this a way, sister. Do you believe me to be God's servant, with all your heart? You have neuritis that you're bothered with. If that's right, wave your hand. Now you can be healed.

L-173 The lady sitting next to her, do you believe it, with all your heart? You're suffering, too. Do you believe God can tell me what's your trouble? Kidney trouble. If that's right, wave your hand.

L-174 Lady sitting next to her, do you believe? You suffer with a nervous trouble, and with your eyes. If that's right, wave your hand.

L-175 Lady sitting next to her, do you believe, sister? You are shadowed. You've got stomach trouble, it's cancer in the stomach. Do you believe God healed you? Amen.

L-176 Do you believe? Can your eyes come open and believe that He is the Son of God? Then, if you do, stand on your feet and accept Him, and believe it with all your heart, that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. "O Jesus, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me!"

L-177 What's happened? Your faith, just like that blind beggar, has called Him on the scene. Amen. Do you believe it? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Oh, there is no need for a healing line. How many believes you're healed, anyhow? Raise your hand, praise Him! Amen. You are healed.

L-178 Jesus Christ is in our midst, the same One that walked through Jericho, that knowed Zacchaeus by name, that knowed Bartimaeus. The same Lord Jesus, in the form of the Holy Spirit, is here, tonight, doing the same things He done, infallibly proving that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Don't let creeds, and the theologies, and cold spells, choke you out. You're in the Presence of Jesus Christ, Who is made manifest among you. Amen. I believe it with all my heart. Amen. [Mark 10:46-52], [Luke 19:1-8]

L-179 Accept your healing, say, "Praise the Lord! I accept it."

L-180 Let's sing the praises to Him then. "I love Him, I love Him." Do you love Him? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] "Because He first loved me." Do you love Him?
I love Him,

L-181 Worship Him now in His Presence. You know He has got to be here.

L-182 That's healing, too. That's part of your salvation. Where do you do it? On Calvary's--Calvary's tree. All of our hearts!

L-183 Oh, don't you love Him? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Shake hands with somebody, saying, "Praise the Lord!" You love one another, you love Him. Just turn around and shake hands with somebody, saying, "Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! We are glad to be here, brother, glad that we're in the Presence of the Lord Jesus." Amen. Amen. Wonderful! Oh!

L-184 Paul said, "If I sing, I sing in the Spirit." Let's worship in the Spirit, again. Let's sing in the Spirit.

L-167 Don't look at me now, see. You can look at me, but, look, let your faith look beyond that. You can look to me with physical eyes, but look at Him with your eyes of faith, that He is that Word. And--and He has just changed His mask, see, from what could not be seen to what is absolutely declared, the Word made flesh. Have faith.

L-168 Now don't move around now. Be real quiet, reverent. You can move around, in a moment; but be real quiet, reverent.

L-169 Now, it's, what is it? It's a gift. A gift ain't to take, like a sword, and go, punch and jab and pull. That isn't it. A gift is just getting yourself out of the way, so the Holy Spirit can work in a human body. Don't try to say, "Glory to God, I got a gift! I got a gift, hallelujah!" You'll never get it. If you just know how to let yourself go!

L-170 It's like pulling a gear. See? Change yourself into faith, from unbelief, just jerk a little gear back there, say, "Well, I've always kind of been skeptic, but really, now, I believe now." Now watch what happens then. Just do it once and see what happens. Just pray.

L-171 And I try to get myself from the message, into a gift. A gift, to, that the Word might make Itself known by--by, as Hebrews 4:12 says, "Discern, know the thoughts in the heart." [Hebrews 4:12]

L-172 Pray for whatever is wrong with you. Pray, and just say, "God, I--I'm needy. The man don't know me, but I'm needy."

L-173 In the Name of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, for the glory of God, and according to the Word of God that I've just got through preaching, I take every spirit in here under my control.

L-174 Now, no matter what happens... There might be something happen just in a minute. There is a critic sitting here, and I'm just thinking something is fixing to happen. See? So just be real reverent. If anything gets disturbed, you just sit still. You set real still, let that person do what they're going to do. Watch what happens. Let them make the move, and see what happens. You'll see whether He is God or not. You ought to see Him in battle. You've seen Him in healing; watch Him in battle. Satan is trying his best to do it. But just--just let him do it once, see what happens.

L-175 There is another person sitting over here that's been suffering, sitting right down here, a man and his wife. She is praying. He is praying for her. It's a nervous condition, nerves in the face. She is kind of a heavy-set woman. Her husband has a white shirt on. She is laying his hands upon her. That is true. Raise up your hand, if that be true, if that's what you're praying about. Don't worry. It'll stop. It's a promise, if you would believe. You touched His garment.

L-176 There is a lady sitting right back here on this side, she is suffering with a female trouble. I hope her... O God! Mrs. Reed, you know I don't know you. But that's true, isn't it? You were praying, "Lord, be merciful to me." He has. It's going to leave you now. You just believe with all your heart. Don't you doubt. You have faith.

L-177 Here, here is a lady sitting right here at the end, a little dark-looking hat on. She is praying about... It's trouble. She has got trouble. Don't you see that Light hanging over her there? See? She has got her head down. She has got trouble with her knees. She hurt her knees. She fell and hurt her knees. See? I don't know her; God knows that. But that's true, isn't it, lady?

L-178 Here, lay your hand over on that next lady setting to you; come right straight to her. She is suffering from a nervous condition. And that nervous condition has... She has got eye trouble. And the eyes was operated on, which caused it. That's right, isn't it? Raise your hand. If thou canst believe!

L-179 This other lady put her hand up right there by the side of her, kind of thrilled her. But the reason, if you'll... You believe that God can tell me what your trouble is? It's in your ankles. If that's right, wave your hand like that. All right.

L-180 What did He say He would do? "He is the same yesterday, today, and forever." Do you believe that?

L-181 Here is a man sitting in front of me. He is suffering with arthritis. He really... I don't know whether he is going to get it or not. He is kind of a man about my age. He suffers with arthritis. He is not from here. He is from Kansas City. Do you believe that God will heal you? Do you believe God can tell me what your name is? Mr. Francis. You believe with all your heart. He was trying to rob you from it, sir. And he--he... You was thinking I was meaning another man, but it was you. And when I said that, a real funny feeling come over you, real sweet and warm. If that's right, wave your hand like this.

L-182 Also, your wife sitting there, she is Mrs. Francis. She suffers also with arthritis. And she has got trouble with her eyes, and trouble with her ears. Is that right? That's right.

L-183 The lady sitting next to her, right next to her there, she is suffering with varicose veins. Right. She has something wrong inwardly, some kind of... It's a bladder trouble. She has bladder trouble. She is also from Kansas City. Mrs. Gregg. That's right.

L-184 If I'm a total stranger to you people, raise up your hands like that, so that, I mean, to these people here that was called, raise up your hands, you people that's just called then, if I'm a stranger.

L-185 What is it? The same God Who came down in human flesh, and eat meat and drink milk. And Jesus said... And Abraham said, rather, that He was "Elohim," God manifested in flesh. Jesus said, "As it was in that day, that Jehovah, the Son of man again, in the form of prophetic, like He was, would return again at the last days," just before your bodies is going to be changed. We, we couldn't... See, Sarah couldn't receive that baby in that body, could she? Abraham couldn't, in his body. His body had to be changed. So does ours, to receive the Son. Take the Word, and He is the Son. It is the Word. Do you believe it? [Luke 17:30]
Now bow your heads just a moment.

L-186 Thoroughly, with all your heart, is God justified in making these promises? Do you believe His Word is the Truth? Do you believe that these witnesses are only false witnesses, that they didn't have the faith to believe it in the beginning? You are the jury and you are the judge. Every jury has to make up its mind, the judge has to pass the verdict. Have you made up your mind that God's Word, of Mark 16, is the Truth? If you have, raise up your hand. I've brought witnesses on the scene, that come in the same way as this in the last days, and proved that God's Word was right. And God's Word promises this in the last days. And I'm here, and you are here, before you, to prove the rest of them, every one of you. Each one of you could be called, one by one, like that, if you believe it. Ask these people, talk to them, where the Holy Spirit has called. [Mark 16:17-18]

L-187 "What are you doing now, Brother Branham?" Trying to get away from It. It just keeps happening everywhere in the building; you just see it flashing.

L-188 See, with that, I'm trying to get you to believe it. Have faith in God. Believe it. He is justified in writing this. He has confirmed it, and proved that it's the Truth. He prophesied it, thirty years ago, and proved it today. He said it, two thousand years ago, and proved it today. His Word is the Truth. And every Word of God is inspired, and all of It is the Truth. And Mark 16 said, "They shall lay their hands on the sick and they shall recover." [Mark 16:17-18]

L-189 Jury, what is your verdict in this court this afternoon? Is Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever? Raise your hand. [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Are you fully convinced that Mark 16 is the Truth, the Word of Jesus Christ, "If they lay their hands on the sick, they shall recover"? Raise your hands. ["Amen."] [Hebrews 13:8], [Mark 16:17-18]

L-190 Then, Satan, you've got to go. Mr. Unbeliever, you have no business among us any longer. Mr. Skeptic, or Mr. Impatient, I don't care how long it takes it, it's going to happen.

L-191 Do you call me a believer? Raise up your hand if you do. I'm a believer. I'm going to pray for you, lay hands on you. Do you believe that your pastors here are believers? Raise up your hands. How many believing ministers are out there? Raise up your hands.

L-192 I'm going to ask the believing ministers to come here just a minute. Is that all right, pastor? Perfect. I want every minister in this building, that's a believer, come here and stand with me just a moment. I want genuine believers now. Remember, we don't want make-believers. We want genuine believers. Come here and stand on the platform. Going to see something happen now. "I believe you told me the Truth."

L-193 Now remember, real quiet just a minute, as these ministers are coming, I want to say something to you. Now what, what will happen? Your action, from your action... Somebody slipped. It's alright. Your action, from this on, will be your verdict. How many believes that, raise up your hand.

L-194 Now everybody that's got--that's got a--a prayer card, stand up over on the right-hand side here, get over on this side. You, each of you in your aisle, stand out in the right-hand side of your aisle, in the right-hand side of your aisle.

L-195 Now them on the other end over there, will have to come out this a way. All right.

L-196 All of these on this side, with prayer cards, stand up in this aisle; like this, on the right-hand side. That would be the left-hand side. I'm sorry. This side over here would be your right-hand side. That's on your left-hand side. Now come right around like that, form your line.

L-197 Now all you ministers come here and make a double line, right across this way, two lines right up this a way; right around here and right around here, each one of you.

L-198 Now how many of you believe? Raise your hand, say, "Now again I want to show God that I absolutely believe that Mark 16 is the Truth," raise up your hand. "I now accept it." [Mark 16:17-18]

L-199 How many out there that won't be in the prayer line, will be praying for these that's in the prayer line, and the whole group of us together will be praying as believers? Raise up your hand.
Now let's pray.

L-200 Lord Jesus, Thou art God. Thou art the great "I AM," not the "I was," or "I will be." You are "I AM," present tense. There is no power that can stand in Your way. You are God, and there is none like You. You make Your Words to be confirmed. You've proved it to us, through the witnesses this afternoon in this trial; this jury, and also this court, and the judges that will be.

L-201 We have give the trial, fair. We taken what the enemy said. We taken what the prosecutor said. We've taken what his witnesses said. We brought it back with the witness of the Defense Witness, and He has proved that God is justified in making these statements, because He does bring it to pass, to believer, by many more witnesses than the unbeliever can produce witnesses. Now we know that it's true. It only lays if the people has judged It to be right, the Word of God to be the Truth.

L-202 Grant, Lord, that everyone passing through these line here... Father, these man standing here. After I'm gone, someone might say Brother Branham laid hands on them, but I want the people to know that these pastors has just as much right to lay hands on the sick as anybody does. They don't have to wait till some special-time evangelist comes through, but their own pastor has the right to lay hands on them. God, grant that, every person that passes through this line of hands here today; that's been called and ordained of God, to lay hands on the sick.

L-203 We know we have no holy hands, but we don't look at ourselves. We look at our sacrifice, Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever, Who is bleeding before the throne of God now, to cleanse us, to carry out His commission. Grant, Lord, that every man, woman, boy, or girl, that passes through here, will go off of this platform, rejoicing, just the same as if they were normally and well and sound. Grant it. May this jury verdict, that they claim it was, He was justified, and may now the judgment that they pass will be their action from hereafter. Help us, God, in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen. [Hebrews 13:8]

L-204 Brother Roy Borders or some song leader, if you'll come here just a moment and lead. Now with your eyes closed.

L-205 Now just fall right in line, as your line comes along. Come through here. We prayed, each one of these man. Why I put them up here, was this. Now you over here will have to come down this way and fall right in line with these, with these here, as they come out, see. Right. Now just wait till they... Wait till they go away. Wait till this line comes out; then you, lady. Right here, sister, wait right there. See, wait right there, see. Ushers, some of you help them there, see. See, you got to let this lines come out, these lines come out, and this line follow them, see, coming through.

L-206 Now if you're coming through here just presuming, just guessing, stay out of the line; might make you worse. But if you come through here, believing, there is nothing going to take it out of you. How many knows that from this, this is the settling time? You that's in the line, say, "This is it. I believe it. No more to complain about it. It's over, right now. I've accepted the Word of God." If you don't, don't come in the line, now. You believe with all your heart, and come.

L-207 God has vindicated Himself by Word, and the witness and trial, present right now, "the same yesterday, today, and forever." There is nothing left but to lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Here is your pastors. You know they're believers. They're your shepherds.

L-208 And I don't want you to get the impression that me, Oral Roberts, or somebody else, is the only person that's ordained to do this. Every minister is ordained to do it. Every believer, whether he's a minister, or not, is ordained to do it. Every person that believes, has a right to lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

L-209 I don't say your pastor or anybody would be taking the gift of discernment. They don't have to do that; that's not their calling. That's not their calling, to do that. That's to be one in an age.

L-210 But--but we find out, that you are called, as a believer. "These signs shall follow them," it don't point out any person, "them that believe." You believe it with all your heart now. [Mark 16:17]

L-211 Brother Roy, you lead the song, Only Believe. Everybody in prayer. Ministers, as they pass by, lay hands on them. And laity and friends, when you pass by here, don't you have one doubt in your mind; just pass right through the line, going out here, say, "It's settled."

L-212 Now remember, you have been the jury on this case. You raised up your hand that you had your verdict. Everybody understand, say "amen." [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] You've had your verdict. Now what you do hereafter will prove whether you told the truth or not. Your--your judgment will be passed by what you do from hereafter. That'll be. You'll be the judge and jury. If you truly believe it, it's got to happen. If you're make-believing, it won't happen.

L-213 Cause, it's proved by the Word, by the Presence of God, by everything that there is. Is anything left to be done? If He would come right here, this afternoon, could He heal you? No, no. He has already done it. See? He's all... There ain't a thing left to be done now. He has vindicated Himself here, by the Word, proved everything. The only thing you have to do... You've made up your mind, you heard the trial, you've passed the verdict, now come and show your judgment. Amen. God bless you. [Isaiah 53:4-5]

L-214 All right. [Brother Borders begins leading the congregation in singing Only Believe--Ed.]

L-215 Be praying now, brethren. And let every one of the ushers let the people come through. Stand up a little closer now. Every man touch that child, touch everybody. Every man touch them people, with faith now. Close your eyes. [Brother Branham and the ministers pray and lay their hands upon the people. Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]

L-216 Now can you sing it this a way, "Now I believe, right now I believe it"? You have? Raise your hand, say, "I really believe it." "These signs shall follow them that believe!"

L-217 Sometime ago, about fifteen years ago, I remember one night being called to a hospital, to a boy dying with black diphtheria. There was... the heart had went bad on him. And the father kept coming to the meeting, to--to get me go pray for the boy. And the boy was about fifteen, sixteen years old. And I was just so busy, I couldn't do it. And finally... If--if--if--if you take it to one, then it's the other, you know. So the father just kept holding on, waiting till the time. Finally, one night after service, I went to the hospital. Well, the doctor told me that I could not go in. He said, "Because, the--the boy has got the diphtheria on him, and you're a married man and you can't go in and take that germ."

L-218 Well, I asked him, "Just please let me go in." The man was Catholic. And I said, I said, "Are you a Christian?"
He said, "I'm Catholic."

L-219 I said, "If a priest was standing here and trying to bring--bring the last rites of the church to the boy, would you accept it?"

L-220 He said, "That's different. That's a priest. You're a married man."
I said, "If I sign a paper, take all responsibility?"
He said, "I can't do that, sir."

L-221 And I said, "Please." I said this, "I'm just as much to them people as a priest would be to you."

L-222 Finally, he dressed me up like a Ku Klux Klan, with all that white stuff, and take me in, and I went to the boy. He had been unconscious, two or three days. His heart was just barely beating. I forgot what the respiration; very small, just barely bleed, beating. And the old father and mother was standing there.

L-223 And I just knelt down, and just a simple little prayer, laid hands upon him, I said, "Lord Jesus..." I used this Scripture. "You said, 'These signs shall follow them that believe.' Here is father and mother, they wouldn't be persistent and holding on for me to lay hands upon that boy if it hadn't have been that they believed it. And, Lord, I wouldn't have come here as a mock. I believe that what I've said and taught is the Truth." And I said, "I bless the little boy, in the Name of Jesus Christ; let him live." [Mark 16:16-18]

L-224 And when I raised up, the old father and mother begin to hug one another, and say, "Isn't it wonderful, mother! Isn't it wonderful!" The boy hadn't changed one bit; just laid there. And I--I looked at them.

L-225 And the little nurse standing there, she was a special nurse, a graduate, and she was over there watching the boy. And she said to the mother, she said, "How can you act like that, and know your boy is dying?"

L-226 And the old father, like he was about, oh, I guess, he was fifty-eight, sixty years old, he laid his hands over on her shoulders, as an old dad would. He said, "Child," he said, "that boy is not dying," he said.

L-227 "Mister," said, I don't know what this was, some kind of a cardiogram or something, said, "his--his respiration has went so low, and with this disease, it's not known in history, if it ever gets in that condition, for it to ever come back again."

L-228 And the old patriarch brushed off his eyes, and looked at her. I'll never forget this. He said, "Honey, you are looking at a chart. That's what you're trained to look at. I'm looking at a promise that God made. 'They lay hands on the sick, they shall recover.'" The boy is married and got three children, a missionary in Africa. It depends on what you're looking at.

L-229 Now there might be some here, that got here, that didn't get a prayer card. I asked the son down there. He said, "There is no doubt but what there is plenty back there, daddy, that didn't get a prayer card."

L-230 How many believers are here then? Raise up your hands. Will you do this while we sing, "Now I believe"? Now God was good to you. Won't you, as a believer... It doesn't make any difference whose hands it is, as long as it's a believer. See? Will you just lay hands on one another, and we'll sing this song together, "Now I believe." And until I meet you, God be with you!

L-231 Now all that believe it, raise up your hands like this, "I now believe it." God bless you.
