L-155 And now, we become anointed with that same Spirit, anointed messiahs; messiahs of the last day, to shine forth the resurrection of Jesus Christ; to show that He is not dead, but in the form of the Holy Ghost, He's in His people; moving among His Bride, with a love affair to Her, pouring out into Her, Himself. They are becoming one for the Wedding Supper; and the same signs, promised by the same God, in the same Word, is making His same manifestations.

L-156 There's nothing left for us to do but believe It, and "believe it" is the substance, and that creates a Perfect Faith. Just think how--how how numb we are; just think of that just a minute, now.

L-157 Now, let's see. Has He done all things well? Has He ever told us anything, but what happened just exactly the way He said it? Hasn't He performed, and hasn't the great Pillar of Fire been among us and done just exactly like He promised to do? Haven't we seen It? Hasn't science taken It, after it's been predicted what would happen; go right there and have it even in the papers and magazines, pack it right back and show it, when it's told you months before it happened? Hasn't He done just exactly the way He did in the Old Testament, and the New Testament? And It's just exactly the same One! The same Holy Spirit comes, and is a Discerner. "And the Word of God, which is quicker and sharper than a two-edged sword, a Discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." Isn't that right? Isn't that the same God? Now, that same One, it's not a stranger off somewhere else, He's here. He's here, does this to create a Perfect Faith. I feel Him. I know He's here now. I know that His Spirit is here. I know that He knows all things. Amen! And I know He wants to--to do something. He's been doing something, to--to create this perfection of faith in the people. [Hebrews 4:12]

L-158 Are we going to walk into Eternity, like it was in the days of Noah, with eight souls saved? Are we going to come like Lot, with three out of Sodom? Are we going to come, like in the days of John the Baptist, with six believers? Let us believe, for His works is perfect! They're manifested daily and perfectly before us, showing that He is the Word, the Word! Hebrews, the 4th chapter, says.
... the word of God is... sharper than any two-edged sword,... even a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. [Hebrews 4:12]

L-159 Think of that! The Word of God is That, a Discerner of the intents of the heart. "For the Word of God is quick and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of the soul and of spirit, and of the joints and of the marrow, and is a Discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." The Word made flesh! Hallelujah! The Word operating in human flesh, by physical signs, by material signs, by Scriptural signs, perfectly, to bring to you a Perfect Faith for a Perfect Rapture. [Hebrews 4:12]

L-160 Why can't we look at It? Not a mystic; the Devil has put everything in the world before you, try to keep, make you... keep you from believing It. He'll bring in a meeting and try to throw everything he can in front of you. Shake it away from you! The Bible says, "Rise and shake yourself." Pinch yourself.

L-161 His Spirit is here, He knows you. You've got one thing to do, and that's to believe It, to accept It. He knows. You believe that? He knows what's in you, He knows what you are, He knows what your desire is, He knows what you have need of.

L-162 Jim, do you believe He knows about that baby? Took his fever before you left, a hundred and five. Do you believe He'll heal it? Come on it, today, sick. It'll leave it. I just looked over there and seen them before they left home, what they done. Now, that's true.

L-163 Mrs. Little, do you believe God would give you victory over that diabetes? There's a woman setting beside you, don't know you, but the Spirit's upon her. What she's worried about's a little... she got a child that has to have an operation for an eye or something. She's from Chicago. "Quicker, more powerful, than a two-edged sword; a Discerner." What is it? The Word! Do you believe that? Certainly. [Mark 16:17]

L-164 There's a lady setting right in the next row there; just had an eye operation, didn't do too well. But you--you believe It, it'll get... you'll--you'll get all right. Do you believe It? All right. She, she is thinking about that.

L-165 Mrs. Peckenpough, it isn't for you, it's for this grandson setting here. You're praying about it, but you believe that God will make it well? You believe God can tell me what's wrong with him. Doctors don't know; no. That's right. Swelling lungs. That's right. He's got a blood condition. Correct! They're kind of confused about whether they're going to let him go to school or not. "Quicker, more powerful, than a two-edged sword." [Mark 16:17]

L-166 I see a woman losing her food. She's somewhere, let me get her face somewhere. Yes, setting back there. Her name's Mrs. LewEllen. She believe with all her heart, that stomach trouble will leave you. Amen!

L-167 Here's a lady setting right across from her, looking at me right now, setting on the end; she's wearing glasses. She got arthritis. It's in your left hand; it was, it ain't now. Yes, if you believe!

L-168 What about that little baby, right back there? It comes from Ohio; got cancer in the eye. Do you believe God will heal it? He'll do it, you believe it. Ashland, Ohio! You believe now that God will make it well, He'll do it. What is It? "More powerful, quicker than any..."

L-169 Here sets a lady here, something struck her, she's got a trouble in her shoulder. That's right. Is that right? All right, believe It, and it'll leave. See? "The Word of God, a Discerner of the thoughts and the intents of the heart." [Mark 16:17]

L-170 Now, there's no prayer cards in this building. There's nobody to pray... give out any prayer cards. We don't use them here, 'less it's just have to keep in order. You want to be prayed for? How many wants to be prayed for while the Word is manifested through flesh? Let this row here get up and come down this way, right down this aisle here first, right in here, you that want to be prayed for. Then, after that, I want this aisle here to come down behind them. Then after they're through, let this aisle over here come.

L-171 "Quicker, more powerful,..." Could a two-edged sword do that? No, sir! But the Word of God can do it. Why? It is the Word of God. Now, you believe it?

L-172 The Great Physician! Where's that sister from down in--in Tennessee, Sister Ungren, or Downing? "The great Physician now is near."

L-173 I'll never forget that, in Fort Wayne that night when that little Amish girl or Dunkard was setting there, playing that, "The great Physician now is here," hearing that little boy was healed, she jumped up, the Holy Ghost fell on her, her pretty hair fell down across her shoulders, and the piano never missed a key. "The great Physician now is near, the sympathizing Jesus." Supernatural power moving them piano keys, playing "The great Physician now is near."

L-174 Look, are... You believe? You ought to? See? Now remember, when you pass... Now, if you don't believe it, don't come, you set down. Say, "I ain't going to. I ain't going to stumble into this. I'm coming, believe it." When I...

L-175 The Bible said, "These signs shall follow them that believe. If they lay hands on the sick, they shall recover." That's exactly right. Now, that's under conditions, "if you believe It." Now, I believe this. God's proved it to you, I believe It. You see? He manifest His Word, to show that it is His Word. A Scripture fulfillment, to prove that it is. Now, you believe it when you pass by. Will you do it? And then when I lay hands upon you,... that's exactly what the Bible said. [Mark 16:17]

L-176 You got anointing oil here, Brother Neville? Get that, and come over this other side, lets just fulfill the Scripture. Get over on this side here, and anoint every person as they pass by, and we'll pray for them. Now, so that I'll be sure, that I'll get the prayer of faith for every one of you, let's have everybody put your hands on one another that's believers. Just reach over, and cross your hands on each other. This is where we're going to find out something in a few minutes.

L-177 I'll see just how advanced my church is, on what we believe in; see just how advanced the people are; how they're ready to take the Sword and walk out in the front line, say, "I challenge you, Satan. See? I challenge you! You can't--you can't make me disbelieve anymore." What are these things done for? So that people will believe. It's the Word. It's where that shows that I am preaching to you the Truth, the Word. The Word made flesh, made flesh in you; made Word; made Life in you, made Life in me. See?
The Great Physician! All right, let us bow our heads now.

L-178 Lord Jesus, the great Physician now is near, You are the Physician. I have preached Your Word, and Your Word has declared that You are here; that You are the same yesterday, today, and forever; that You cannot fail. You never failed us, Lord. And now, let each one of these that has their hands on each other, may the blessings of God rest upon them. And as we come, they're believers. And as we anoint them with oil, the pastor and I, and pass them through this line, may each one pass through here with faith to believe it, to know that the very God of Heaven stands present. May each one shake themself. Can they only this one time, Lord? Just let them... let it soak down, Lord, one time. Open their eyes, Lord, that they can see what is going on, and not be blind, staggering, but to see the reality of the Presence of a resurrected Jesus Christ. Grant it, Lord, through Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-179 I charge you in the Name of Jesus Christ, that you come not in this line unless you feel that you got that Perfect Faith, 'cause you're only taking their time, somebody else's time. Don't you do it! And by... as long as I've preached to you, have I ever said one thing to you but what it happened? Exactly! The Lord did that. He did it not for me, I believe. He did it for you, that you might believe that what I'm telling you is the Truth. Now you believe it, it'll be all right, and it... you'll get well. When you come by here, drop your unbelief right in this... a spiritual pocket down here. You won't see it, but it's there. When that oil touches you, drop your unbelief right there. Deposit that and walk away with Perfect Faith that you're well. Will you do it? The Lord bless you, then.

L-180 All right, I'm going to ask somebody who can lead songs, just to... Where is that great preacher, brother, that...? What's his name? Capps, Brother Capps. Is he in the line? What's that? Come here, Brother Capps, and stand there and sing (the congregation) while we all pray, "The great Physician now is near."

L-181 As they lead it, each one sing now with your heart. Don't just sing, say, "I'm going to sing, 'Great Physician now is near, sympathizing Jesus. Speak, drooping hearts to cheer, sympathizing Jesus.'" [Brother Branham illustrated an unemotional singing--Ed.] Oh, oh, oh, my!

L-182 All your jaw! On your toes. Fear the Word. "Yes, the great Physician now is near, the sympathizing Jesus!" He proves that He's here! I believe Him. Amen.

L-151 Wish I had time for another story, that I was thinking right now, of a woman, girl, took a wrong road, and how she had turned new pages and things, till I said, "Sister..."
She got up and said, "I--I believe I'll be all right."
I said, "No, no! Stay there."
And then, the first thing you know, she started praying a little bit, and directly she got louder and louder. After a while she got desperate, said, "O God, save me!"

L-152 Alcohol Synonymous couldn't cure it. Nothing else could do it. But them big, black eyes looked at me, and the tears dropping off her cheeks; she said, "Something's happened." Oh, yeah! Yes, sir! Something happened. She got desperate.

L-153 Let's be desperate about this; between death and Life.

L-154 If you can't get desperate, don't come through here. If you are desperate, come here and watch, you--you'll get it just as soon as you get here.

L-155 Let us pray. In desperation watch for the Kingdom of God, It'll come upon you.

L-156 Our Heavenly Father, I pray Thee in Jesus' Name, be merciful unto us, Lord. And start in us a desperation. O Lord God, have mercy upon us, I pray, and let the people seek Thee tonight with desperate hearts. We know You're here, Lord. You're the same yesterday, today, and forever.

L-157 And now may these people who has the Token, that they've passed from death unto Life, they've changed from the old worldly life to a new one. They have. The Blood has been applied; and, God, give them a Token sign. May they take that Token in their hands, them that's sick, say, "I am a purchased product of God. I am in Christ, and in Him is no sickness. I am in Christ, and in Him is no sin. I am in Christ, and in Him is no unbelief. I renounce everything that the devil has told me. I take my Token that my... 'He was wounded for my transgressions; He was bruised for my iniquity; the chastisement of my peace was upon Him; and with His stripes I was healed.' And I now hold the Token, that God has recognized me, that purpose, Person, purchased by the Blood of the Lord Jesus. And I hold the Token of His death in my hands, because He has raised again, and I am His and He is mine. I go with determined faith, that from this night on, I believe God, and I'll be healed when I get there and meet the requirements."
Because, the last Words that fell from His lips, was this, "If they lay hands on the sick, they shall recover." Grant it, Lord. May a desperation set in, for I ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.
[Isaiah 53:5]

L-158 You believe that? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] "I'm determined! I'm determined, by the grace of God, that I'll never stop until that Something strikes me. And I'm going up there to have hands laid on me."
Now, God has never failed us. And I believe the great Physician now is near. I believe the God that wrote the Word, I believe the God that made the sacrifice, I believe the Token of the God that cleanses us from sin tonight, the Token, His Own Life, is here with us. "I'll be with you, even to the end of the world. A little while and the world seeth Me no more, yet ye shall see Me, for I will be with you, even in you, to the end of the world." You believe that? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] I'm trusting in Him. I believe that He will do it. Don't you? ["Amen."] [Matthew 28:20]

L-159 Now, as soon as I start that, I see visions appearing, amen, great visions of the Lord, speaking great things. Amen! If I start that, we'll be here all night. Going to believe it? Do you believe? Amen! I believe it with all my heart.

L-160 The little lady setting out there from Brother Palmer, she is a stranger to me. She is from Georgia, and she is suffering with a female trouble. If she'll believe that God will make her well, He'll do it. I never seen the woman in my life, but that's what's the matter with her.

L-161 That little woman, I don't know whether she ever heard the Message before, or not, but while I was preaching here, I saw her. You just believe it and see if that's right. Amen. If you'll only believe! That's right.

L-162 The lady setting right back here with back trouble, suffering real bad, her name is Mrs. Wisdom. If you'll believe with all your heart, Jesus Christ will make you well. I never seen the woman in my life, but she is setting there, suffering. She's wearing a yellow dress. Is that right? All right. Are we strangers to one another? Yes. All right, sir. You go home, be well. Jesus Christ makes you well. Amen.

L-163 Another woman that's just caught that, back trouble, setting over here. She's got back trouble. She's got a boy, and he's got head trouble. Uh-huh. That's right. Mrs. Parker is her name. Have you believe with all your heart, and Jesus Christ will heal you both. Amen! We're strangers to one another. That's exactly right. Amen! Believe with all your heart.

L-164 Here is an elderly man setting back here from Michigan. He's having trouble in his ears. Oh, he thinks voices, spiritual trouble. Is that right? You're believing that--that... You don't know whether it's God, or what it is talking to you. You hear noises in your ears. I'm a total stranger to you. If that's right, raise up your hands, and that's what's taking place. It'll never bother you no more, Jesus Christ makes you well.
Do you believe the great Physician? [Congregation rejoices and says, "Amen."--Ed.]

L-165 I'd speak to you, but, from Norway, and you don't understand; Norwegian language. Uh-huh. All right, tell him to go home, believing, sister, if you know how to speak it. Tell him his head trouble will leave him. Now, you know I don't know him. He's come here from Norway, to be prayed for. Go back, a well man. Amen.

L-166 Oh! "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever!" What is it? It's that Pillar of Fire. It's the Holy Ghost. It's that Token, that Jesus Christ lives. And when people, long ago, saw Him do those things, He perceived their thought because He is the Word. "And the Word is sharper than a two-edged sword, and a discerner of the thoughts and intents of their heart." Amen. [Hebrews 13:8], [Hebrews 4:12]

L-167 I seen water flashing, and this young lad coming. He heard, and read a book over there, and wrote, in Norwegian. He got to understanding; somebody spoke to him. He's having trouble, but, if he'll believe with all of his heart, the Lord Jesus is going to make him well. He's come a long way, and a poor kid, at that, trying to press in. And we'll lay hands on him, in a minute.

L-168 Do you believe? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Amen! How wonderful! Oh, my! "The great Physician now is near!" Sister, where is that Sister Ungren at, and that other sister at the piano? I want you to come right quickly, if you will, and give us a song, "That great Physician now is near, the sympathizing Jesus."

L-169 I want the people that's on this aisle here, that wants to be prayed for, kindly come down on this side here, just one aisle at a time. Brother Neville, you do that if you will. Where is Brother Capps or one of those song leaders? How about Brother Ungren, or Brother Capps, or somebody, come here, will sing, lead this song for us if you will. Is Brother... Where is one of those brothers at? All right. All right, sir, that's good. All right. Everybody in prayer!

L-170 Remember, desperation! See what desperation will do? Desperation will drive you across the sea. Desperation will drive you from another state. Desperation will drive you anywhere. A precious old father and his daughter, with desperation, tried to get in, come in, everything else, and set down anyhow; a few moments ago the Holy Spirit delivered the thing here in the meeting, just before I got in here. Oh!

L-171 Watch, He comes. See, He has already healed you. He brings His Word, He confirms It, He shows His Presence. Nobody can do those things outside of God. You know that. It's the sign of the Messiah. And you know I'm no Messiah, so it's Him. Now here He has proved everything to you.
Now it ought to throw you into desperation. It ought to electrify this place and touch a... No, just be like a--a--a--a match to a barrel of powder. Certainly! And it ought to explode the faith, and--and love and desperation drive them people right into the Kingdom of God, to believe with all their heart. Do you believe now, every one of you? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] All right. Now, Billy, you get the...

L-172 Tony, look here at me a minute. I haven't seen you for a long time, but you're sick. You're suffering with something like a dysentery. That's right. It's going to quit. It's going to leave you. I seen that thing following him, as he started through there. There isn't a thing can be hid from God right now. I never seen... I haven't seen Tony for months, I guess, but I see he's having that. He did have it; he hasn't now.

L-173 Let's bow our heads. Not one eye to be open. Not one eye to look. Let's everybody be in prayer. And Billy Paul or Brother Neville, one, will call the next rows when it comes time. Now everybody in prayer. We're going to try now; the middle aisle will come to your left-hand side when you are called, and so will the--the left-hand aisle over here come to your left-hand side when you're called. Brother Neville will call you.
Now, wonder if there is any of the brethren here that would like to stand here to lay hands on these people as they come by, with me? Any of you minister brothers, you're certainly welcome to come and stand with me if you want to do it. It's not a isolated thing. You have rights to pray for the sick the same as I.
I know the Holy Ghost is here. Anybody that wouldn't believe that, there is something wrong with them.

L-174 All right, let's believe now with all of our hearts, that God will grant these things that we're asking. Have faith now. Don't doubt.
And everybody pray, one for the other. What did the Bible say? "Confess our faults one to another; pray one for the..." [James 5:16]

L-175 And you people coming in the line, as soon as these hands touch you, you go right out of here just happy and praising God that you're healed.
All right, everybody in prayer now while Brother Capps leads the songs.
Lord Jesus, now help us. I pray, through Jesus Christ's Name, that the Holy Ghost will touch each person, and may they be healed as we follow Your commandments for laying hands on the sick. You said, "They shall recover." We believe it, Father, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
All right, everybody in prayer now as we start praying. First, is a little sick boy in a wheel chair.
Laying hands upon the child, in the Name of Jesus Christ, that he may be made well.
Yes, sir.
In the Name of Jesus Christ...
175a [Brother Branham and the ministers lay hands upon those in the prayer line (for 18 minutes), but the prayers are inaudible. The congregation prays and continuously sings The Great Physician--Ed.]

L-249 Now, looking upon the audience, with this Word of God before me, I say that the only person that I really recognize is this brother over here. And now I do see my wife in the back, and back there. But let's start here in front.

L-250 Now you pray and say, "Lord Jesus, I've heard lots of preaching. I've heard masterpieces of sermons. But I want to see You, like the Greeks said, 'Sir, we would see Jesus.'" They didn't want to know the philosophy. They wanted to see Him, to know Him, not anything else but Him. And He is the Word, see, to know Him personally. Say, "I'm like the woman that had the blood issue. I have need. Will You just manifest Yourself tonight and speak to me? You're the High Priest. I wouldn't know Your voice, maybe, if You spoke. But if You speak through human lips, like You said."

L-251 God does nothing without human agency. How many... You know that. See? He--He has to use someone. Now will you... If He will do that, and prove that He's right here with us, will you accept your healing? Raise your hand, say, "I will. If I can see Him do that, I will accept it." God bless you. Now pray.

L-252 And now if He does anything miraculously, don't doubt. Just believe. If you look at me, do whatever you want to, but just as long as you believe that He is. Do you believe that, by Divine gift, sent from God, manifested by an Angel? And here I stand, these ministers around me, right out here. There not a thing... That right, brother? [The ministers say, "That's right."--Ed.] We're all setting here. There you are there.

L-253 I do not know you. God knows that. I don't know one thing about you, but He does. Now, through an unseen Person, the Holy Ghost, Who only can make known by His manifestation, can reveal to you exactly what He said the Word would do. When the Word is put into flesh, it's a Discerner of the thoughts of the heart. Is that right? That's the reason He could do it. You believe now. Have faith. Don't doubt. Just have faith.

L-254 Such a sweet time! I think this is the most wonderful times of my life, when I can stand before a bunch of people and let them know that their worship is not in vain. Every other religion in the world is fake, besides Christianity. Every other religion in the world is wrong, besides Christianity. Christianity is the only one that can point you to an empty tomb, and open up a heart and say, "He lives here," and prove it. Now, here is what He promised. Will He keep His promise? That's it. Does He keep His promise? Yes, sir.

L-255 You say, "Well, Brother Branham, come down and heal me."

L-256 I wish I could. He's already done it. The only thing He wants you do is believe it. See?
"Would you save me, Brother Branham?"

L-257 I wish I could. But He's already done it. You have... The only thing He could do, if He was standing here with this suit on, that He gave me, the only thing He could do is just exactly what we're asking Him to do now, see, just let us know that it's Him.

L-258 "Fear not, it's I. Be of a good cheer." See? The disciples, when He was walking on the water, thought it was a spirit, a spook, or something. They was scared. He said, "Don't fear. It's I" See? And that's what He'd say tonight, "Don't fear. It's I." [Matthew 14:27], [Mark 6:50]

L-259 I'm watching a woman just setting here, looking right at me. And if you can see It now, there's that Light right over the woman setting right here. I don't know you. But, here is one thing, you're suffering with a trouble in your back. Is that right? If that's right, raise up your hand. All right. Your faith makes you whole.

L-260 Tell me what she touched. I never seen her in my life. Are we strangers to one another? If that's right, raise up your hand. So, see, I never seen the woman in my life. But I seen her like this, and I knowed here is where it was at. All right. Yeah.

L-261 Here, here is something. Here is a little girl setting here on the front seat, just a child. As soon as I spoke her name, she--she started crying. The little girl is seeking for something real. Her sister is weeping, behind her. I don't know the child, never seen her in my life, as I know of. But she is seeking the baptism of the Holy Ghost. That is true. Is that right, little girl? That's right. Raise up your little hand. See? There you are. She's not from here. She comes from east of here. She's a minister missionary's daughter. By the way, her father is desiring to see me on a question. I never seen her in my life, but that's exactly the truth. Don't fear, honey. You'll receive the Holy Ghost. Your faith does it. Just believe.

L-262 If that little child can do that... Ask the child, see if it's right or not. If that little child... What did they touch? Little girl, do you have a prayer card, honey? You don't? You--you don't need it. See? You've got more than what a prayer card is, honey. You got faith.

L-263 Remember, she will receive the Holy Ghost. She, she will receive it. Frankly, It's right by her now. Say, "How do you know?" How did I know what was wrong, what she was wanting? See? Now, if that child, "a child shall lead them," why not you now?

L-264 There's a lady setting right here, looking at me. She is suffering with a nervous condition. She's praying for her husband, also, that's unsaved. You'll believe with all your heart, you can receive what you've asked for. Amen.

L-265 Here, a young woman setting right back here in the outside row, she's got a female trouble. You believe with all your heart, you'll be healed. You believe that?

L-266 There's a colored lady setting right back behind her there. She is in prayer, but she's praying for a loved one. It's an elderly man, a father-in-law. And that father-in-law has been sick for years. That's right. I'm a stranger to you. Is that right? That was caused by some sort of an accident that started the trouble. If that's right, raise your hand. All right. You believe? You can receive what you've asked for.

L-267 By the way that started rolling. Another colored lady setting right back there, she is suffering with an asthma trouble. The lady is going to miss it. God, help me. Mrs. Jamison, you believe with all your heart. Rise up to your feet. I don't know you. But, you believe with all your heart.

L-268 You say, "Know her name?" Why, sure. Didn't He tell Peter what his name was? Yeah. Sure. He knows all things.

L-269 Here's a man setting here, is going to die with cancer, if there's something don't touch him pretty soon. Got cancer. That's right. You believe? You do? You believe God can tell me who you are? Mr. Ladd, then, if you believe with all your heart, you can be healed. I never seen the man in my life.

L-270 Call on Jesus. He's among you now. Don't you see? You believe? Have faith in God. Do you believe you can awake Him in your conscience now? See? Are you believing? If you are, put your hands over on one another, like this. Just put your hands on each other. Call Him on the scene. That's Him. Do you believe it? That's Him. Ask these people. I never seen them in my life.

L-271 Now it's everywhere, all over the building now, as you got your hands on one another. Can't you take my word? If God has confirmed that I've told you the truth, see, then take my word for it. I'm telling you what is the truth. What's the truth? Lay your hands on one another. Don't doubt. The Bible said, "These signs shall follow them that believe. If they lay their hands on the sick, they shall recover." Here is Jesus among us, right now, the Spirit of Christ. [Mark 16:17]

L-272 Now, as you lay your hands on the person that's with you, now you pray for them. Just go ahead, lay your hands on them and pray. I'm going to pray from here. And I believe God is going to heal every one of you. You put your hands over on them, and believe, while we pray.

L-273 Lord Jesus, we are grateful to You. My heart is racing, for here You are, right here in Tucson. Here You are, right here in this assembly of church. You're here amongst the people. You've proved it, Lord. How could these things be done except it be of God? No wonder the apostle said, "A Man approved of God among us, by signs and wonders, which (He) God did by Him in the midst of us all, which we are witnesses." And here is that same Man, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, in the form of the Holy Ghost, tonight, moving among us, confirming His Words. "The works that I do shall you do also." We know that You're here, Lord. You haven't left us. [Acts 2:22], [John 14:12]

L-274 Now, these people have their hands on each other. They are believers. They are praying one for the other, and they're believing that You're going to make them well.

L-275 By the Word of the living God, by the challenge that the Word offers, that, "These signs shall follow them that believe." In the Presence of the resurrected Jesus Christ, the Son of God, in His Presence! The Presence, the Holy Spirit that's right now here, and has proved that it is Jesus among us, has roused us, Lord, from our slumber, till our hearts are beating fast with faith and praise. [Mark 16:17]

L-276 In the Name of Jesus Christ, may every sickness turn loose from the people at this minute. May they be set free from all of their sickness and afflictions that they have. I charge Satan, by the Presence of Jesus Christ, in the commemoration of His Word, that said, "In My Name they shall cast out devils." We, as believing men and women, we challenge this devil. In the Name of Jesus Christ, leave this congregation. Come out of every one of them. And may they go free, tonight, to go home, to find themselves free from sickness, free from pain, free from affliction, every one of them, Lord. In Jesus Christ's Name may it be so. [Mark 16:17]

L-277 With your heads bowed now, keep praying for one another. Now, if there is a man or a woman, that's had a doubt in their heart, boy or girl, and believes that you're now in the Presence of the One that I spoke about tonight, Who has perfectly performed and told you; and proved to you by His Word, that He would do it, and has come and done just exactly what He said He would do, see, among us tonight. And if you're not a child of God, will you walk up here at the altar while the Holy Ghost is anointing me and anointing these others, and let us pray for you? Will you come while we had our heads bowed, just have our heads bowed for a minute, as we hum to ourselves, "Only believe, all things."

L-278 You say, "Brother Branham, I've sought for God for years, and I--I--I've never been able to be filled with the Spirit. I'm not a born-again Christian. I--I want to be born again. I--I really want it. And I, Brother Branham, I want you to pray for me."

L-279 Will you come up here and stand here, while we hum this through, or sing it once, with our heads bowed and our hearts bowed? Only Believe. I feel led to do this, somehow. I don't know. I never do this. But I feel led to do it right now, that this call should be made. So, that, at the end of the age, when I stand before you again... Maybe never again, if I come back here a year from today, there'll be... If I live the year, many here won't. See? They won't be, 'cause there's elderly people here. And--and many of you won't be here a year from tonight, but I'll have to meet you some time. So, in the Presence of Christ, I ask you to come forward now, in Jesus' Name, and accept Him as your Saviour, while we sing now with our heads bowed.

L-280 Just believe He's here, just think, that lovely One that you'll have to stand in His judgment sometime.

L-281 "I'll believe right now, Lord, You're here.

L-282 [Someone says to Brother Branham, "Want them to come in here?"--Ed.] Now, that all right, brother. It's just okay. I'll go right down here. I'll take you all down...?...

L-283 Lord, after You've raised from the dead, nineteen hundred years ago, and here You made a promise that we would see You in the last days, that You would do this very thing. And here You come around, tonight, right before my eyes, in this intellectual age, scientific age, and break every law of science, break everything that critics have said, and come right down among us, and prove that You are raised from the dead. "I'll believe, Lord. I believe," while we sing it once more.
Lord, I believe.

L-284 Will you come now, rest of you, come right out. Move up, all of you. All that wants to accept Christ tonight, won't you come?

L-285 Nothing else must be done, Lord. That's the last sign You promised. Preaching the Word, healing the sick; remember, the Word has been preached, the sick has been healed. But here is the last sign to the called-out Church, the called-out pentecostal Church. Its last sign. "I'll believe."

L-286 Now, as we're got these, a perfect number here tonight, of seven, means completion. I just wanted to be sure. The Holy Spirit... You never see me have a healing service, then turn right back around and make an altar call. See? But the Holy Spirit said, "Do it." See? "Do it right now. This is the time. You do it." I thought... I turned over to Brother Mack. He said, "You do it." Here they are, seven, the complete number. May be their last call, but they've heeded. They've done just exactly what God told them to do.

L-287 "He that heareth My Words and believeth on Him that sent Me, has everlasting Life, shall not come into the Judgment, but has passed from death to Life." They passed from death to Life. [John 5:24]

L-288 "He that is ashamed of Me before men, him will I be ashamed before My Father and the holy Angels. But he that will confess Me before men, him will I confess before My Father and the holy Angels." Here they stand, three men and four women. [Mark 8:38], [Luke 9:26]

L-289 And did you know that's the way the birth rates is in the world today, in the United States? Four women to every three men. That's the way the birth rates are. Here is the birth rates again tonight, coming back into the church. America is getting her last. She is finished. That's all. We're at the end time.

L-290 Now I wonder if some women, some good mother or woman here, that's filled with the Holy Spirit, three or four of you, would come here, stand with these sisters, while I go pray for them. And three or four brothers, maybe our minister brothers here, walk down, stand by these fine young men standing here, stand here while we can witness together. I'm going to come down, pray, and lay hands upon these people. And I want every person in this church to believe with me, while we pray. That's right. God bless you, brethren. I'm coming down with you, to lay hands upon them.

L-291 Now I want everybody real reverent, if you will, just for a moment, most sacred part.

L-292 Now look. This is all they can do. Is... Watch. You know, they heard the Voice of God, and they've walked up here. These young men in this age, these women in this age, walked up here to make a public confession, they're through with sin. I said, "Whosoever wants to receive Jesus Christ as their Saviour, come forward."

L-293 And the Presence of God making known the thoughts, telling the people what's wrong with them, who they are, what about them, where they come from, see, if that isn't Christ, then what is it? It's a promise. God said He would do it. And those people, maybe the first time they ever... And them, sinners, they said, "Yes, I believe that. That's it. There's the Word made--made manifest. It's made flesh. The Word is flesh again, God working through human flesh. We know it's true." And they come up and say, "I'm finished with sin." That's a public confession. That does it.

L-294 Now, you dear people that's come up here, someday I've got to meet you, sister, across the border yonder, each of you. I got to meet you over there. I got to give an account for what I've said. Brethren, I've got to give an account. You, you might have done mighty fine things. You might have obeyed your parents. Might have done wonderful things. But the greatest thing you've ever done in your life is what you're doing right now. See? That's the greatest thing you ever done.

L-295 Now, if God--if God has sent down His Spirit and has proved, and then the very Thing spoke through me and said, "Make a call." Now, if you've ever been in meetings before, you know I don't do that. I'll turn it to the pastor. But He said, "You do this." See? Then I did it. Right quick, I was going to. There was somebody over here, and it was somewhere I seen that Light move over them. I started. And all at once, It cut off. Did you notice how It changed? Said, "You do this." Said, "Call right now." That's all I could do. Right. It's all I could do. Here you are.

L-296 Now, Jesus said, in Saint John 5:24, see, is this, that, "He that heareth My Words, and believeth on Him that sent Me, has everlasting Life." You believe that, son? You believe that, each one of you men? You women believe that? That's all you could do. [John 5:24]

L-297 Then what do you do? Accept. Nothing you can do. Say, "Lord," in your heart, "I'm sorry for what I've done. I gladly accept what Jesus done for me. Tonight, from this hour on, I'm going to live for Him. I'm going to accept Jesus Christ as my Saviour. I'm going to accept Christian baptism. I believe that You'll fill me with the Holy Spirit. I want to live for You."

L-298 Just a little while and you'll find everything is changed, and you're a new creature. The new life comes in, and you live from there on. And I'll meet you again at the judgment seat of Christ, each one of you. I'll meet you there, and I'll have to be responsible for what I... God will make me responsible. But if you will accept it upon... Say, "Whatever I've done, You know, I walked up here before this people to show that I'm sorry. I don't... I didn't mean to do that. I don't want to do it any more. I'm through." That's what...

L-299 Now I want you to bow your heads. I want each one of you brothers and sisters to lay your hands upon me. I want each church person in here, each Christian, to bow your heads in humble prayer while I pray. And will you pray with me, that God will grant this request?

L-300 Now, Heavenly Father, here stands a woman crying, a young woman, beautiful young woman standing here, crying. She... [Brother Branham continues praying with the people. Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]

L-301 ... upon You confirming what You said You would do. You promised You would do it. You came down and healed the sick and the dying, and they have been changed from death to Life.

L-302 And then some, spiritually dying, they rushed to the altar. The Angels of Heaven are rejoicing, according to the Word of God, "The lost has returned." Jesus cast out devils by the finger of God, but when He saved a sheep, He put him over His shoulder, the strongest of His body, and brought him in.

L-303 Now here they are, Lord. They are Yours. I commit them to You, as love tokens of Your Presence tonight. Keep them, Lord, in perfect peace. And give them Eternal Life, that they may never perish, but live forever. God, You promised that You'd raise him up at the last day. I believe that. And they are Yours.

L-304 Now with our heads bowed, everybody. I want to ask you that come to the altar just now, that, from--from the bottom of your heart, you come in sincerity. And from the bottom of your heart you believe the Bible is right; that Jesus Christ, God's Son, died in your stead. You're not worthy of it. You're unworthy. You know it. But because that you was unworthy, God sent Him, the worthy One; that you, in your unworthiness, might be made sons and daughters of God. Nothing... But just something in your heart tells you that that is right, and you accept it. You believe It with all your heart, and accept Him as your Saviour. Nothing that you've done, but what you believe that He has done. You believe It. I want you to raise up your hand, say, "I now, in the Name of Christ, will accept Jesus Christ to take my place there." That's all He wants to do, take your place. God bless you, and bless you. "He'll take my place."

L-305 Now I want you to turn right around to the audience, right towards the audience. Turn right back around this way, towards the audience. I want you people that's standing, praying, I want you all to look upon these people. Now watch them as they raise their hands.

L-306 You that know that you were sinners, and now you've passed from death unto Life, raise your hands up in the air again like that. Put up your hands. I want you in the audience that accepts them as your brothers and sisters, raise up your hands like that. Now, there you are.

L-307 Glory to God! Praise be to God! They are Yours. They are the sons and daughters of God, the redeemed.

L-308 Now let's, every one bow, our heads, and offer thanks to God for what He has done for them.

L-309 How many in here, that was sick, felt sick, and now you raise up your hand, say, "I believe that I know that the Presence of Jesus Christ tonight has made me well. I am no more sick." Raise up your hands, every one. Looky here, the whole audience. Fine. "I am now well by the Blood of Jesus Christ."

L-310 Now, let's bow our heads again. And each one, you people, walk up, lay your hands upon these people, you Christians. You want to give them the right hand of fellowship, and bless them, and invite them to your church, or whatever you do. God be with you.

L-311 And let's bow our heads now. And each one of us, in our own way, give thanks to God for what He's done. All right. Let us bow our heads.

L-312 Brother Mack, why don't you come here and lead us in this prayer. Yes, Lord. Yes.
