L-244 And now He promised to do that again, the Son of man would reveal Himself like He did at Sodom. The world is in that condition. The church is in that condition. Now has God kept His Word? See if He has, or not. Oh, we've had signs, jumping, speaking in tongues, prophecy, so forth. But, wait, there's another sign. Oh, we have many carnal impersonations. That just makes the real one shine. Any bogus dollar should make the real one shine.

L-245 Now you pray. You believe. Just, I--I challenge you to do that. You look, and believe what I've told you. How many believe this to be the Truth? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Care who you are, where you are. I'll just...

L-246 Everyone in here, as far as I know, is a total stranger, except Bill Dauch and his wife setting right there, as I know of. I think I know this little preacher here from Germany, setting there. And, brother, and two or three people setting right there.

L-247 Somebody back over in the audience, look, way back. I challenge you to believe what I've told you is the Truth.

L-248 What about when that Angel of the Lord came down on the river yonder, thirty-three years ago, and made this remark? How did I know?

L-249 And my own Baptist pastor turned me out of the church, said, "You--you had a nightmare, Billy."

L-250 I said, "A nightmare, nothing, Dr. Davis. That's the way you, the attitude you take, you might as well take my fellowship card."

L-251 I knowed there'd be somebody, somewhere, would believe It. God wouldn't send a Message lest there be some to receive It.

L-252 Oh, sure, when I went forth praying for the sick, it was very fine. But when I begin to tell you the Truth of the Word, then it's different. You ought to know. Every Message has been that way.

L-253 Jesus was wonderful when He went in the church and healed the people, and everything. But when He set down one day, and say, "I and My Father are one," oh, that, that did it. "Lest you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink His Blood, you have no Life in you." He didn't explain It. He wanted to see who would stand by Him. Right. [John 6:53], [John 10:30]

L-254 What do you think, a--a crowd with doctors and things, say, "That Man is a... Why, He's a vampire. Eat His flesh and drink His Blood?" He never explained It. He never explained It. [John 6:54]

L-255 But, still, that Word was holding, to those apostles. They didn't care. They didn't understand It. They believed It, anyhow. See? They knowed, 'cause they had seen the works of God, and they knowed it was. He said, "They are they that testify of Me." [John 5:39]

L-256 Here's a man, woman setting right here, got her hand up. Now, you can call me a fanatic, if you wish to; but that same Pillar of Fire, that led the children of Israel through the wilderness, is right over that woman.

L-257 Now, remember, Jesus said, "A little while and the world seeth Me no more, yet you shall see Me. I come from God. I go to God," after His death, burial. He told the Jews. He said, "I..." [John 16:16]

L-258 He was that Rock that was in the wilderness. He was that Pillar of Fire, "I AM THAT I AM." Who was "I AM"? That Pillar of Fire in that burning bush. Is that right? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] And He was made flesh and dwelt among us. Said, "I come from God, and return to God, in order to return in the form of the Holy Ghost." [I Corinthians 10:4], [Psalms 78:15]

L-259 And here He is, with us today, scientific pictures taken of It. Here He is, to prove more than any scientific picture, anything. He's here, to prove it, for It's Him. "I the Son of man will be revealed in this day." Now, there He is. I'm looking right at It. [Luke 17:30]

L-260 You say, "Do you see It?" John saw It, too, but the rest of them didn't.

L-261 Look, to prove it now. That woman is a stranger to me. I've never see her--her, in my life. But she's got something wrong with one of her limbs that she's praying about. Is... That's right, lady. You had an operation on it. That's your husband setting next to you. You're not from here. You're from California. Your name is Roland. Your stomach trouble is ended, too, sir. You had stomach trouble. Didn't you? Well, it's all gone. Your leg is healed.
"In that day the Son of man..."

L-262 Here, setting right back through here, there's a man. He's a colored man, something wrong with his eyes. He's a... Yes. He, his work he does, he does something about a car, polishes cars, car waxer. Right. Your eyes are going bad. You've just believed, haven't you? Some real strange thing happened to you. Your first name is Fred. That's right. Your last name is Conn. That's right. You believe now? Your eyes ain't going to bother you no more then. I never seen the man before, in my life.

L-263 The man right back behind there, he's not from here, either. From California. Got a bad back, Mr. Owens. That's you. The Lord Jesus make you well. I never seen the man, in my life, know nothing about him. I'm just following that Light as It goes.

L-264 "If you can believe, all things are possible to them that believe."

L-265 Little fellow setting here, got a hernia, is wearing glasses and a gray suit. Fred, God heals you if you believe it. Will you accept it? All right. I never seen him, in my life.

L-266 Mrs. Holden, setting over there from him, suffering with eye trouble. I don't know the woman, never seen her in my life, but that's true. See? "If you can believe."

L-267 What's you crying for, sis? You got a nervous breakdown, bronchitis, heart trouble. You believe that God will make you well? Setting on the end of the seat there. If you believe, with all your heart, Jesus Christ will make you well. All that nervousness will go from you, you feel like you're back in your right condition. The Devil is lying to you. You accept it? Now raise up your hand, say, "I'll accept it, then." Okay. It's all over.

L-268 What? This church is going through a birth pain. Won't you make your choice now in His Presence? I've showed you exactly the Word, what He said He would do.

L-269 Combing through this building, ask anyone that's ever been struck, or talked to, or whatever it was, and see if I ever seen them, knowed them, or anything about them. You think a man could do that? That's totally impossible for that to happen.

L-270 Well, what is It? The Son of man. "The Word of God is sharper than a two-edged sword, discerning of the spirit, the secrets of the hearts." Just exactly like It was when It was made flesh here on earth, in the Son of God, now It's being revealed by the Son of God as He's come to call a Bride out of that system. "Come out of it. Be separated, saith God. Touch not their unclean things, and God will receive you." [Hebrews 4:12], [II Corinthians 6:17]

L-271 Are you ready to surrender your whole life to God? If you are, stand up to your feet, say, "I will, by God's grace, accept It right now, for everything that's in me."

L-272 Hallelujah! Praise be to God! You believe Him? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Then just raise your hands and pray with me.

L-273 Confess your wrong. Birth pains! It's hard to die, but die right now. Die, come out of your own unbelief. Come out of it. This is the Word of God made manifest, just as It was when Jesus come on the earth. It's Jesus Christ again among you, proven. [James 5:16]

L-274 Abraham received a son immediately, the promised son, after that taken place.

L-275 And Jesus is coming again. That's His Spirit. He's so close to the earth, so close to coming, that He's ready to receive you, if you're ready to receive Him.
Now raise up your hands and pray with me.

L-276 Lord God, let all the priests hold on to the altars. Let the people cry out. May the Pillar of Fire and the Pillar of Cloud move into the people today and sober them, Lord, to the realization of the Presence of the living and mighty God. Grant it, Lord. Receive them. I pray this prayer for each one of them, in the Name of Jesus Christ.

L-277 Fill each one with the Holy Ghost, who doesn't have the Holy Ghost. Lord, may the revival of this campaign, this meeting, break right now into a great, powerful outpouring of the Holy Spirit. May the sick be healed, the blind see, the cripples walk. May the manifestation of the living God be brought into the presence of the people, as it has been this afternoon, and may the people receive it. In the Name of Jesus Christ, I ask it.

L-278 Raise your hands now and give Him praise, and receive what you asked for.

L-242 Do like the little woman did. He passed through, and she said, "I believe this Man." She had a blood issue, and she said, "If I can touch the border of His garment, I believe I'll be made whole." Is that right? [Matthew 9:20]

L-243 Because of herfaith, that day, the Scripture was fulfilled. "He bind up the heart ofthe broken heart, healed the sick and the lame." [Luke 4:18]

L-244 When she touched His garment, and walked out and sat down, He turned around and said, "Who touched Me?" How'd He ever know, in that great throng of people, probably thirty times what's here tonight, thousands of them? How did He know it? He said, "Who touched Me?" He didn't say that just to be saying; He said that because it was true. And He said, "Who touched Me?" And directly He looked around and seen the little woman, where she was setting or standing, whatever position she was in, told her her blood issue was over. [Mark 5:31], [Luke 8:45]

L-245 That was Jesus yesterday. That's Him today. You believe that? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]

L-246 I don't know you; God does. But you got pains in your side, that's bothering you. That's right. You're setting there praying about it. Am I a stranger to you, and we're stranger to one another? Stand up, if it is. I don't know you. It's this man right here on the corner, this young fellow. You also got a bad throat. That's right. You're praying about that. You're all nervous about something. You're going to have to leave the meeting because, you're a minister, you got some engagements you got to take care of. That is right. Uh-huh. You believe God knows who you are? Rev. Mr. Smith, now you can go and be healed. Jesus Christ made you whole. Go on to your meeting; your throat won't bother you.
Who did he touch?

L-247 There is a man sitting right back here; he is suffering. He's got a tumor on his left lung. He doesn't... He isn't from here. You have been a mine worker. That is right. I'm a total stranger to you. If that's right, shake your hand. The tumor is in your left lung, and you're up for an operation right away. That's right? You're not from here. You're from out of town. You're from Virginia. That's right. You believe God knows who you are? Mr. Mitchell, that's right, go home and be well. Jesus Christ makes you whole. Ask the man! Never seen him, in my life. He was sitting there, praying. This day this Scripture!

L-248 [Brother Branham turns his back to the congregation--Ed.] Here is a lady sitting right back here, behind me, as Sarah was in the tent. She is praying for a daughter. Stand up. The daughter is not here; she is away, the daughter. And you're the same as it was when a woman come to Jesus, who had a woman that was variously vexed with a devil. The woman is... girl is demon possessed. She is not here. She is from... You're from North Carolina. You believe that? And that's the truth, isn't it? Mrs. Orders, you can go home. If you'll believe with all your heart, you'll find your daughter like found when Jesus Christ in the days gone by, said it was healed. [Matthew 15:22-28]

L-249 This day thisScripture; the sign of Sodom, the sign of the super Seed, the sign ofthe natural church! This day this Scripture is fulfilled in your midst.Do you believe it? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] [Luke 4:21]

L-250 Will you accept Him right now as your Saviour, healer? Stand up to your feet, every one of you, say, "I accept my healing. I accept Him as my Saviour. I accept Him as my King." Each one stand to your feet.
This day! Listen, friends.

L-251 "He read the Scripture, handed the Bible back to the priest, and," said, "all the eyes of the people were fastened upon Him. And He looked upon them, and said, 'This day this Scripture is fulfilled.'" [Luke 4:21]

L-252 I've read theScripture, with a dozen or more evidences that we're living in the lastday, the generation that will see Jesus Christ return to the earth. AndI say to you tonight, again, this day this Scripture is fulfilled inyour sight. [Luke 4:21]

L-253 You in Tucson, you in California, you in New York, on these telephone hook-ups, this day this Scripture is fulfilled in your sight.

L-254 Let us be glad and make merry, for the Marriage of the Lamb is at hand, and Her Bride... His Bride has made Herself ready. [Revelation 19:7]

L-255 Let's raise our hands and give Him glory, all ye people. God bless you. [Congregation continues rejoicing and praising God--Ed.]

L-126 Now while in Him, and being in Him, you have access to everything He died for. And what did He die for? "He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquity; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and with His stripes we were healed." Do you believe that? Do you believe in His atonement for healing now? [Romans 5:1-2], [Ephesians 2:12-20], [Ephesians 3:10-12], [Isaiah 53:5]

L-127 Is there any sick among us? Let them raise their hands, right or left. Great crowds of sickness. I can't call the line. You see, I haven't... can't come up on the platform. There is no way of doing it.
They're having prayer meetings out in the other places, for the sick, in the churches and things, down in the tabernacle.
I'm going to ask you something. How many believers is there? Raise your hand. All right. I'm going to quote to you the Word, which is Christ. Jesus' last commission to the world, and to the Church, rather, He said this, "These signs shall follow them that believe; if they lay their hands on the sick, they shall recover." How many knows that's true, Mark 16, say, "Amen." [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] All right. I'm asking you as a believer to lay hands on somebody in front of you. Just lay your hands over on somebody in front of you, and let's each one pray a prayer for each other now. Put your hands over on somebody around you. [Mark 16:17]

L-128 Lord, here before me is a box of handkerchiefs, little pieces of goods; some old mother laying somewhere, dying, a baby near death, sick people everywhere. We read in the Bible that they took from the body of Paul handkerchiefs and aprons, and they were placed upon the sick; and evil spirits, and unclean spirits, and sicknesses, and diseases, departed from the people. Now, Lord, we know we're not Saint Paul, but we know that You still remain Jesus, the only God-provided place of worship. And now, today, these people has confessed their same faith, as believing like those people did. Surely You have made a way for them! And I put my hands upon these handkerchiefs and ask that the diseases and afflictions leave the bodies of the people these will be laid on in the Name of Jesus Christ. [Acts 19:11-12]

L-129 Now, we are taught, that as Israel was coming out of Egypt, in the line of duty, they were on their road to the promised land. The Red Sea got in their way. And God looked down through the Pillar of Fire, and the sea got scared, rolled back, and let Israel pass to the promised land. O God, look down through the Blood of Jesus, tonight, and may the sickness roll back, and Satan be cast out. And may the people pass to that promise of good health and strength, that God said, "Above all things, I wish you would prosper in health." [III John 1:2]

L-130 Now as You see there, Lord Jesus, the hands of these people laying on each other, they are symbolizing their faith, that You said, "These signs shall follow them that believe." They are praying in their own way, for one another. The next person is praying for them. [Mark 16:17]

L-131 Now, Lord, this challenge has been met, that Satan, the big bluff, he has no right to hold a child of God. He is a defeated being. Jesus Christ, the only place of worship, the only true Name, defeated him at Calvary. And we claim His Blood right now, that He defeated every sickness, every disease.
And I call for Satan to leave this audience. In the Name of Jesus Christ, come out of this people, and they be made free.

L-132 Everybody that accepts their healing upon the basis of the written Word, make your testimony by stand to your feet and say, "I now accept my healing in the Name of Jesus Christ." Rise up to your feet.
Praise be to God! There you are. Watch over here, of cripples and things getting up. Praise be to God. That's it. Just believe. He's here. How wonderful!

L-133 Out in the audience, on the outside, by the wires, you should see! I think every person in here, as far as I know, or most of them, are standing up at this time. Oh, what a wonderful time! The Presence of the Lord, that's what! "Where the Presence of the Lord is, there is liberty, there is freedom." The Spirit of God makes us free.

L-134 Now that He has healed us, we believe it. He saved us; we believe it. Those who wants to be baptized, the pool is ready. Any time, any hour that you want to come, there'll be someone there to attend to it.
And now I think, before we close, we ought to sing an old hymn of the church. "I love Him, I love Him because He first loved me." Raise up our hands to God and sing it with all of our hearts!
We want to meet you here in the morning, at nine-thirty, this same building, for the subject of Marriage And Divorce. All right.
Let's sing it now together.

L-135 Where was it done? On Calvary's tree. While we sing it again, I want you to shake hands with somebody around you, say, "God bless you, pilgrim."

L-167 Now, I don't know you. I know some people. I know this boy setting here. I know Bill Dauch setting right there. I want to... Here is Brother Blair, Rodney Cox. It's hard to see out there.
On this side, right at the present time I can't see nobody, actually, that I know.

L-168 Now how many in here that knows that I am a stranger to you? Raise up your hands, knows that I know nothing about you, raise up your hands on both sides.How many in here that has something wrong, or something that you know that I know nothing about? Would you raise up your hands.Now, it would be totally, absolutely totally impossible for me to know anything about you. Otherwise, then, it'd have to come from some revelation of Spirit.And being that I've told you all these nights, and tonight, that He is not dead; He is here, and promised to do the same thing. And promised that there would come a time in the last days, according to Malachi 4 and according to Saint Luke, that He would appear again in human form among His people and do the same things, and reveal the same thing, the same Messianic sign. How many knows that, you Bible readers, knows that's the Truth? Say, "Amen." [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Must all be Bible readers. [Malachi 4:5], [Luke 17:30]

L-169 Now, I know it's foreign to the people today, but still it's the Truth. That's the reason they didn't know Jesus of Nazareth. They knowed their church creeds, but they didn't know Him. But He come just the way the Bible said; not a theologian, not a priest. He come as a Prophet, and His Own received Him not.

L-170 Now, if God will keep His Word, and if I happen to... it happens to fall on someone that I know, then I'll--I'll get someone else. See, I want somebody that I don't know. And I want you to pray. [John 1:11]

L-171 Now, look, there was a little woman one time had an infirmity. She had spent her money for the doctors; they could do her no good. And she said within her heart, "If I can touch that Man's garments, I'll be made well." You remember the story? And so all of them tried to get her to stay back, but she pressed through until she touched His garment, went back and set down. [Matthew 9:20-22], [Luke 8:43-48]

L-172 Now listen close. And then when He did that, when she did that, Jesus turned around and said, "Who touched Me?" [Matthew 9:20-22], [Luke 8:43-48]

L-173 Why, Peter the apostle rebuked Him. He might have said something like, "Lord, don't say a thing like that. The people will believe there is something wrong with You. Because, when You asked them to eat Your flesh and drink Your Blood, they already think there is something wrong. And You say, 'Who touched Me?' Why, the whole crowd is a-touching You." [Luke 8:45]

L-174 He said, "Yes, but I perceive that virtue went out of Me." That was a different kind of touch. Now, anybody knows that virtue is "strength." "I got weak; virtue left Me."And He looked around on the audience until He found the little woman, and told her about her blood issue. And she felt in her body that that blood issue had stopped. Is that right? And He said, "Thy faith has saved thee."Now, the Greek word there is sozo, which absolutely means "saved," physically or spiritual, just the same. He "saved." He is--He is your Saviour. [Luke 7:50], [Luke 8:43-48]

L-175 Now, if that was Him yesterday, and the way He acted, to prove that He was among the people, the Messiah promised; and that's the way He identified Himself, and promise by the Bible, He would do the same thing now; wouldn't He, wouldn't He have to do the same thing?

L-176 You say, "Did He say about healing the sick?" Yeah!The Hebrews, the Bible that I just read from, said that, "Jesus Christ now is our High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities." How many knows that true? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] The Bible said that. "He's the High Priest now that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities." Then if He's the same High Priest that He was then, how would He act now? He would have to act the same way He did then, if He's the same High Priest. Now, you might...I'm not your High Priest. You might touch me, and it'd be just like touching your husband, or your brother, or whatmore, a man. [Hebrews 4:15]

L-177 But you let your faith touch Him, and watch what happens. Now, if I be God's servant and have told you the Truth, God will vindicate that to be the Truth. And that would prove that Jesus Christ is a living tonight, standing here. Is that right? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]
Now, you have faith, just one side at a time, one side. You have faith out there. I better stay at the microphone here, because they can't hear me.

L-178 Somebody just look up to God, and say, "God, that man don't know me. He knows nothing about me. I'm a perfect stranger to him. But let my faith touch You, Lord. And You know what's the matter with me, Lord. You know all about me. You know who I am, the same as You knowed who Peter was, same as You knowed Nathanael, as You knowed what was wrong with the woman with the blood issue. And this man tells me that You're 'the same yesterday, today, and forever.' Then, Lord, let my faith touch You."
And if He'll do that, and infallibly prove Himself here, how many of you will believe Him with all your heart; if He'll do it at least one, or two, or three people, for a--for a witness? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] God bless you. [Hebrews 13:8]

L-179 Now, Father God, this is totally out of the hands of any man. It would have to be supernatural phenomena. So I pray that You'll help me now, Lord. I'm in Your hands. Do with me as You see fit. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-180 Now, don't be nervous. Just humbly, reverently say, "Lord, I'll serve You. And that'll be a truth, that, if I can touch Your garment, then You speak back through that man. That will prove to me that what he said is the Truth." That right?

L-181 How many ever seen the picture of that Light? It's all over the country, everywhere. Science has took it and examined it, and everywhere. Now, He is right here now; same One that said about Marriage And Divorce, same One was on the mountain, shook the hills back there, same One that's down here at the river in '33, the same yesterday, today, and forever. He's the same.

L-182 Now, there is a woman, and she recognizes now that something has happened. That Light is hanging right over her. She is setting right here, green sweater on, or something. I don't know the woman. I suppose we are strangers to one another. That is right. Do you believe that God... You're--you're in need of something, and you believe that God can reveal to me what your trouble is? And if He does, then you know it'll have to be a supernatural power, because I don't know you. And it'll have to come through supernatural.
Depends upon what you think it is. You can take your side with the priests, call it "the devil," or you can take the side with the believer and call it "God." Ever which you believe, that's where your reward will come from. [John 9:15-17]

L-183 If God will reveal to me your trouble, will you accept Him as your--your atonement for that trouble? I don't know what the trouble is. But I know, and you know, that something is going on.

L-184 Now, now just let me tell you how you're feeling, and then you'll know; a real warm, sweet, comfortable feeling. I'm looking right straight at It. It's that Light, amber Light hanging from the woman.
And the lady is suffering with a trouble in her stomach. It's a kind of a growths, like, in her stomach. She is not from here. [The sister says, "Right."] No. You're from away from here aren't you? That's right. You're from Wisconsin. Is that right? Sure. Now you are healed. Your faith has made you whole. [Mark 5:34], [Mark 10:52], [Luke 8:48], [Luke 17:19], [Matthew 9:22]

L-185 Now tell me Who the woman touched? I'm twenty-five yards from her. She touched Jesus Christ, the High Priest. Do you believe that? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]

L-186 I'm looking at a woman that I talked to. This woman, I'm looking right at her, 'cause she is praying so hard for a man. She told me she had a man... She never told me nothing about it.
But her name is Mrs. Waldrop. She comes from Phoenix. She was raised from the dead, and her doctor come with the x-rays and showed cancer in the heart. She died in the prayer line. How long ago has that been, Mrs. Waldrop? Eighteen years ago, and there she sets tonight, a living testimony. Her doctor has come to the meeting, brought the... Said, "How can the woman live?" But there she is, and no sign of it.

L-187 She has brought someone, and she is praying for him. Now, he is dying, with diabetes. Now, that I knew. But being that you are praying... You know I don't know who he is, Mrs. Waldrop.

L-188 He is from Missouri, and his name is Mr. Cooper. That is right. Now, you believe, you can go back home and be well, sir. It's up to you, if you'll believe it.

L-189 Here is a woman, and she is suffering with a asthmatic condition, complications. She is not from here. She is setting out there in the crowd, right out there. I hope she gets... She is not from here. She is from Georgia. Miss McKenny. Do you believe with all your heart, and believe that God will make you well? Stand up on your feet, if you're a stranger to me and that is true. Jesus Christ heals you. Do you believe?
[Brother Branham has his back to the congregation--Ed.]

L-190 To my back, there is a man setting behind me. He is contacting God. And what he's wanting; he has got a baby that's got heart trouble. And that baby has got a murmur in his heart, so the doctor said. And that man's name is Mr. Cox. Stand up, Mr. Cox. "And He told Sarah what she was thinking, behind Him."
[Brother Branham continues to keep his back to the congregation--Ed.] [Genesis 18:9-15]

L-191 Right across the aisle from him, back a little farther, is a man who comes not from here, but from New Mexico. I never seen him, in my life. I'm looking right at him now, and he is behind me. He is from New Mexico. And the man has a girl that he is interested in, and the girl has got something wrong with her mouth. It's a... The palate in her mouth is what's wrong. And the man's name is Mr. West. Would you stand up, sir. I'm a total stranger to him, but the Lord God will heal his child.

L-192 Do you believe now with all your heart? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] How many of you believe now with all your heart? ["Amen."] Now, isn't Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever? ["Amen."] Do you accept Him now as your Saviour? Raise your hand. ["Amen."] Do you believe in Him as your Healer? ["Amen."]

L-193 Here, here is a person setting here, crippled or something, laying on a cot.
Can you hear me through this mike? [Brother Branham takes a microphone and walks toward the edge of the platform and talks to the woman on the cot--Ed.] I don't know you. You're just a woman laying there. If I could heal you, I would do it. I can't heal you.
[A man begins weeping--Ed.] All right. It's just a man who is rejoicing. His child was healed.
I don't know you. You're a woman, and I'm a man. This is the first time we've met in life, I suppose. These people...?... that brought you. Frankly, this is your first time here; just brought you in. You come from a long way. You are shadowed to death. You have cancer. It's not cripple. It's a cancer. The doctors can't do no more for you. It's true. And you're sure to die; those doctors can do no more for you.

L-194 One time there was three lepers set at the gate of Samaria. And them lepers said, "Why do we set here till we die?" Because, all the sickness, starving to death, and eating one another's children. They said, "If we go down to the enemy's camp, the Syrians; if they kill us, we're going to die, anyhow. And if they save us, we'll live." And they took that chance. And, by that faith, they not only saved theirself but the whole group. [II Kings 7:3]

L-195 Now, you're going to die if you lay there. But you're not asked to go to the camp that they did. But you're invited to the house of the Father,...?... [II Kings 7:3]

L-196 You are dying with cancer. You can't live outside of God. You're not from this city. You're not from around here. You've come a long way. You're from Milwaukee. That's true. That's right. I seen the city. I know it. That's right.
Do you believe? Will you accept God now as your healer? If you will, no matter how weak you are, how bedfast you are, I believe, in your case, I would rise up in the Name of Jesus Christ. And take that cot and go home, and live to the glory of God. Will you obey me, as God's prophet? Then rise up and go, and be well. Be well! Don't be scared. Get up off the cot; God will make you well. See?

L-197 Somebody hold her so she can get up and get strength. Do you believe God? Just let her get a little strength; she'll be all right. That's it, sister. There she is, in the Name of the Lord Jesus! [Congregation rejoices as the sister is now standing.]
Let us stand and give praise to God. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever! [Congregation is greatly rejoicing and praising God--Ed.]
Go, and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you. [Congregation continues to greatly rejoice and praise God--Ed.]

L-230 Hallelujah! I challenge this whole audience, in the Name of Jesus Christ! If you could, if... Your conscience, don't let it be seared with unbelief, don't let it be flustrated. Can't you see the Son of man, the Son of man in the form of prophetic Message, returning back again in His Church, in prophecy, revealing Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever? It's never been done through the age, till this time. See? There is the proof of it. [Hebrews 13:8]

L-231 What is the Church? How do you get into It? When you're in there, everything that Jesus Christ was, you are, even to be a son and daughter of God. He become you that you might become Him. [Colossians 3:3]

L-232 The thing of it is, you are scared to use it, or either you're not cooperating with His Word. Now, that won't do a bit of good, and I--I don't care what you do. If you don't come fully into that Word, it'll never work. Who can accuse me of something He said and promised in this day, and it didn't happen? Then don't throw your denomination at me, 'cause it won't work.

L-233 Hallelujah! I feel, I know He's here. I'm positive He's here. I know that now there is quickening power enough in the Church to heal every person that's sitting here. Can you believe it? Well, then, will you? [Ephesians 2:1, 5], [Colossians 2:13]

L-234 Do you believe in praying for the sick? Do you believe Jesus said, "They lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover"? All right, put your hands over on each other now. Don't pray for yourself. Pray for the next person. They are praying for you. Now quietly and reverently. [Mark 16:18]

L-235 Lord, how I thank You, can stand here at this platform and--and preach a Word that's so contrary to the people's thinking today, till they would call It "heresy," they would call It "spiritualism," they would call It "evil spirits," like they did, when, "Beelzebub." But to see You right in the midst of this grand audience, this afternoon, turn right around and confirm and prove exactly what's been preached, that It is the Truth.

L-236 God, these are Your people. The--the Devil has tried to mess up the microphones, he's tried to mess up the people's thoughts, he's tried to keep them from getting This. But I believe they'll get It, anyhow, Lord. I ask for them to get It. I ask for them to receive It. Grant it, Lord, these believers with quickening power, that when they... if they don't live to see Your Coming, that quickening power will raise them up at the last days. [Ephesians 2:1, 5], [Colossians 2:13]

L-237 Grant just now that that quickening power will quicken their faith, Lord, to what they are doing. There is a believer got a hands on a believer, a body to a body, a power to a power. And it's the power of God, by a son of God or a daughter of God, by the Son of God. O God, may Satan turn this people loose! May they be healed this afternoon, by the resurrecting, quickening power of the Presence identified, Jesus Christ. In the Name of Jesus Christ, may it be so! [Ephesians 2:1, 5], [Colossians 2:13]

L-238 Your hands on the people has got quickening power in them, if you've been quickened. Have you come to Life? Has Christ become real to you? Has the power of God been manifested? Are you in that Church, God's provided Church? How are you in It, how do you know you've been quickened in It? Your whole thoughts, your whole being, is in Christ now. And Christ is in the midst of the people, proving Himself alive, proving that He is here at the days of Sodom.

L-239 With them hands of those people, that their lives have been changed from streetwalkers, from drunkards, from prostitutes on the street, to a genuine saints of God, quickened. Their hands is laying upon you. They're in the Church, by Holy Ghost baptism, the same power was upon Elijah's bones. That same power is laying upon your shoulder, upon your hands, upon your heads, that same quickening power; with Him standing here proving that He's alive from the dead, show Himself that He's alive, here now doing the very same things that He did when He was...?... Amen! [II Kings 13:21], [Ephesians 2:1, 5], [Colossians 2:13]

L-240 Can you believe Him now? Can you believe that them hands layed upon you are godly hands, can you believe that Spirit that's quickening us now, making us act crazy to the world, do you believe that's His quickening power? Do you believe you're in His Church? Then, if you are, and believe that those hands that are laying on you are holy hands, commanded by God; then I command you, in the Name of Jesus Christ, to stand to your feet and accept your healing, everybody that's been sick.
Oh, Christian, you realize what's taken place?

L-241 Do you realize, out in that street yonder is millions of people walking these streets, today, that's nothing in the world but atomic fodder? Do you realize them people are dead in sin and trespasses, and lives are black; in churches all over, for a few little lectures or something on some kind of a keeping of a certain thing, and call it religion.

L-242 Did you realize that you have been raised from death unto Life, and has been baptized into the Body of the living God that's quickened your body, where there is speaking in tongues and interpreting tongues, seeing Jesus Christ manifested among us? Why, sickness could not stand in such a group as this. Let your faith go to Him, believe Him! Say, "Lord God, I believe with all my heart," and you will be made well. [John 5:24]

L-243 Is there sinners here that would like to come into that Body? Raise your hands, and say, "I have never come into It, I've never been filled with the Holy Ghost, but, Brother Branham, I certainly desire It this afternoon. Will you pray for me?" Raise your hands. Don't be ashamed, you're in His Presence. Just look at the hands! Look at the hands!

L-244 Now everybody that wants the baptism of the Holy Ghost, raise up your hands, wherever you are, that want It.

L-245 Now you that's got the Holy Ghost, who is standing near them, lay your holy, consecrated hands upon them. "If the Holy Spirit, that raised up Jesus from the dead, dwells in you, it quickens your mortal bodies, from death to Life." It brings the whole body into the subjection to the Spirit. Now let's bow our heads, and everyone pray for those people that wants the baptism of the Holy Ghost. And I do believe that God will fill each one of you, right now, with the Holy Ghost. [Romans 8:11]

L-246 Why do we wait, friends? You're going to wait too, long, one of these days. This is the hour. Don't wait any longer. You're right here in this temple where you got all night to stay and pray.

L-247 Dear God, I pray that You'll send the Holy Ghost again, like as a rushing mighty wind, fill all the house, after the perfect identification here, this afternoon, that You're living and with the people. In Jesus' Name. Amen. [Acts 2:2]
