L-164 Does everybody believe now with all your--with all your heart? Well, let's pray again then.

L-165 Lord Jesus, now we realize that we can read the Word, with our best of our knowledge, explain It. But, Lord, You're the only One can confirm It. You're the only One can say that It's right or wrong. And, Father, I pray today that You'll let the eyes of the people be opened. May we see a paradox this afternoon, just, Lord, enough to let the people see that You're present, that You are not--not out of existence, and that Your Word is the same yesterday, today, and forever. For You are that Word. For the sake of the sick, Lord, for the sake of those who are suffering; many probably are here from different parts of the country, parts of the nation, they must--they're suffering so, they couldn't enjoy the--the meetings, otherwise, if they wasn't healed. I pray that You'll heal them. Grant it, Lord. And now, we are only physical human beings, and can only preach the Word and say what You said to be the Truth; now Thou art the One to make it real. I pray that You'll grant it, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-166 Now, I'd just like for your undivided attention, just for a moment, and if everyone will just be seated now for a few minutes. Now, as far as I know, 'course, I don't know anyone that I can see in the--in the building, that I would know out there. Now, you don't have to be here to be healed; anyone knows that. See?

L-167 There's a little woman one time, she couldn't get a prayer card, we'd say, and she touched His garment. And He turned around, and looked, and said, "Who touched Me?" And they all denied it. And He looked around and seen this little woman. She couldn't hide herself, 'cause (See?) the Spirit of God that was in Him led Him... He was the Word. And It led right to her, and He told her what her trouble was. She had a blood issue, and she was healed. She believed it. And immediately in her body she felt that the blood issue had stanched (Is that right?), had stopped right there.

L-168 Now, He's just the same today. You don't have to be here. Now, the Bible said that in the New Testament now, that Jesus Christ is our High Priest. Do we believe that? The only High Priest we have, the only Intercessor we have between God and man, is the Man Christ Jesus. You believe that? And the Bible said He is a High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities. Is that right? How many know that true? Raise your hand so they... All right. I'm not among strangers on this Word.

L-169 Now, how would He act if you touched Him? He'd act the same that He did when He was here, because He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. Is that right?

L-170 Now, you just believe. You just say, "Now, Lord, I've been in meetings; I've been; but I'm just going to believe today. I--I'm not even going to take no thought of myself. I'm just going to believe with all my heart, that You're here. And I have a need, and You--You just... You help me, Lord." See? Now, you do that. Don't get nervous; just--just calmly faithful.

L-171 A gift of faith is not something you take and do something with. A gift of faith is you just get yourself out of the way. The gift is getting your ownself out of the way.

L-172 Now, here stands a woman. Father God knows, as far as I ever knowed, I never seen the woman in my life. She's a total stranger to me. But... And there--there isn't about two or three people I can see out there, I do.

L-173 I think this is Mrs. Vayle setting here, Brother Lee's wife. I'm not sure. Then I know these three or four boys setting right along here. Far as I know, that's all that I see in the meeting at this time, that I know. I believe that's Brother Anthony Milano setting there, from New York, Brother Pat Tyler from Kentucky. Outside of that... I know Fred Sothmann's in there somewhere, I heard him holler "amen" awhile ago. That--that's about the limit, and heavenly Father knows that.

L-174 And this woman standing here, and I never seen her. I have no idea what she's here for. She's just a woman come up here on the platform, the same as you're setting out there.

L-175 Now, if this woman's in need, well, then I--I... If I could help her, I--I'd sure do it. But now, I--I... That depends on what she needs. If it was money, I--I might rake up five or ten dollars. Outside of that, I don't know (See?) lest I'd give her a postdated check, till I get my pay next month. But now, what if she's got domestic trouble? Then I'd say, "Go get your husband, let's talk together; maybe I can help you."
"I have no way of getting home."
"Well, I'll ask somebody if they'd take you--take you home, going your way. You live down on what street down here?" Or whatever it is, I don't know. But if it's sickness, then I--I don't know. See? But I don't know the woman.

L-176 But there's Someone here, this Word, that promised, "The things that I do shall you also."

L-177 Now, perhaps, what if this woman is sick; maybe she's got cancer; maybe she has TB, and--or something that medicine can't help at this--at this stage? Well, now, I couldn't, I by no means could heal the woman.

L-178 But now, if He can reveal to me what she wants just like He did the woman at the well, or like He told Nathanael, or--or told Simon what his name was, said, "Your name is Simon. You're the son of Jonas. Henceforth you'll be called Peter, which means 'a little stone.'"

L-179 Well, now, if He would do something like that here in the presence of all of you, that goes to show that that Word is Truth. Now, how many will believe that? Is there anybody here knows the woman, raise your hand, any peoples in the building? Yeah, many of you know her. All right. Father knows that I don't. Well, now, let's just see what He would say. And that, would that be a paradox? I don't know what's wrong with her. Don't know what she's here for, or nothing about her. But God knows that.

L-180 I'm going to speak to the woman. Now, this is the first person I've had before me for about three months. Now, I just want to talk to the lady, just a moment. And that is what? Contact her spirit, just like Jesus did the woman at the well, contact her spirit.

L-181 Now, if the Lord Jesus, lady, can reveal to me what's wrong with you, or what you're here for, or something about it, that you know that I don't know nothing about, or something on that order, would you believe it was Him? It'd have to be Him, wouldn't it? It'd have to be Him. If He'll do it, then we'll all be thankful that we're know we're--that His Word is right, then we can put confidence in that.

L-182 Now, if He can reveal what your trouble is to me, and me not knowing you, you know that... But now if He can reveal to me what your trouble is, or something about you, then that shows that there is a Spirit here somewhere that knows you, and you know that I don't. So it wouldn't be the man; it would be the Spirit. And that's what God promised at this time of Ephesus. You believe that to be the Truth? May He grant it.

L-183 I see one thing; she's suffering with something like a sinus troubles up here in her head. That is true. Is it? Raise up your hand if it's it. But sinus wouldn't cause you to sneeze and carry on like that, so you have hay fever also. That's right. You're not from Phoenix. You're from where there's--there's lots of hills, trees. You're from Flagstaff. That's right. You believe God can tell me who you are? You're Mrs. Earl. Yeah. Is right, is it? Now, go, believing, it'll all be over.

L-184 Now, is He the same yesterday, today, and forever? Now, the heavenly Father knows I just seen the woman. See, the Word vindicated. Now, it isn't me; I'm just a man. Just like this microphone, it's a mute without me speaking through it, or somebody. And so is a man just a mute. But it's the Spirit, and that Spirit's right out there among you. See? He's the Healer, not me.

L-185 How do you do, sir? Another man that's a person who's a stranger to me. I don't know the man. Now, as far as I know. I've never seen him in my life.

L-186 But now, the Spirit, the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ is the same self Spirit. The anointed One, Jesus, the Man, was the Son of God, but the Holy Spirit was on Him was God. "My Father dwells in Me." See? It's the Holy Spirit, so it's still God.

L-187 Now, if I can just get myself, that man can get hisself out of the way, then that part's dead, then let the Spirit of Life go to work. See? That's why I wait just a minute to see what happens till the anointing gets started.

L-188 If the Lord God, Whose Presence we are in, will reveal to me, sir, what the--your trouble is, or something you've done, or--or something about you, just something. 'Course, the more we would talk, the more it would go. But, see, there's others standing in the line. But if He'll just tell me what your trouble is, will you believe me to be His servant, and believe He's present? A rupture. That right? That's right...?...
Now, you say, "How was that done?" I wished I knowed. There's nobody can explain that. That's a paradox. See?
Here, that you might know, I seen something else: an examination; got heart trouble too. Raise your hand. Mr. Anderson, you can go home now; Jesus Christ will make you well. That's right. Just believe; have faith. Don't doubt.

L-189 How do you do, sir? We are strangers to each other. I don't know you. Far as I know, it's the first time I ever seen you, or me to know you. That's right. But He knows us, both of us.

L-190 Now, you know why this is taking place? It's His grace permitting it, that it would bring these people conscious of God. Now, not knowing nothing about you, not even knowing you no--no way, just a strange man that come here... Now, it would be absolutely a paradox for something to happen to--to know what was wrong with you, or something you done, or something you ought not have done, or something you should've done, or who you are or something about you. It'd have to be a paradox, 'cause there's no way for anybody to know that, outside of some revelation of the unseen. That's right. Now, if He'll do that for you, between you and I, so that the audience... Not a show, but that they might see the--the Ephesus is here, that this is the thing that bridges between denomination and the glory land, He promised it, that they might be assured that what we're tell them is the truth...

L-191 Now, to know you, you know I don't. That's, raise up your hand so the people see that you... I--I've never seen the man in my life. He's just a man standing here. Ask any of the others. But you're suffering with a rupture. That's right. You also have hemorrhoids. That's right. You've come a long ways to get here. You're not even an American. You're a Canadian. You brought with you a son that has mental affliction. That's true. You want me to tell you where you're from? You're from the province of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, the city. Believe with all your heart, and God will send you back home well with your son, if you believe. You believe it? God bless you.

L-192 Do you believe? The Lord God still remains God. See? There's none other but Him.

L-193 How do you do? Here's a lady, a stranger to me, perhaps a little older. I've never seen her; but she is--she's just a woman standing here. I'm going to have to hurry, 'cause I just got seven or eight minutes now. See? Now, just look here. Do you believe that these things are true? With all your heart? You know it's impossible for me to know what's wrong with you or anything about you. But it isn't impossible for God to know, because He knowed even before there was a world. Isn't that right?

L-194 How many believe that to be true? Sure. He knowed every time you would bat your eye. He's a infinite. And just think; by His grace He's presented with His Gospel the same thing He promised to do. Then there's a heaven, and we're going to it. And we're in this Ephesus right now. We're in this, coming out of one into another.

L-195 You have so many things wrong with you, complications, so many things wrong. And you're not from here. You're from west of here. You're from California. That's right. You also have a son that's afflicted. That's right. You... There's something. I keep seeing water, a great big lake. Oh, it's, you have a--you have someone that's close to you that lives in Chicago, that knows me. That's right. That is true. Now, you know I don't know you, but do you believe God knows who you are? Mrs. McGuire. You've got your request. Go home thanking God.

L-196 How do you do? Mighty young person, but sickness and disease is no respect of person. How many knows that? We just know that it's no respect of person.

L-197 If thou canst believe with all thine heart and all thy soul that asthma would leave you if you'd believe it with all your heart.

L-198 The chest trouble, you believe it would leave you too, sister, and you'd be made well? What did you touch? She's twenty feet from me or more. She touched the Master. It's congestion of nerves. You'll be all right.

L-199 This is a noble thing this young woman stands here for. She straightly is a stranger. I've never seen the woman. But she's been brought here by somebody else. And what brings her here, was because she heard a tape that I made. And she's here seeking the baptism of the Holy Ghost. That's exactly what she's here for. That is true, young lady. That's right. Come here.

L-200 Dear God, may this child standing here, that's breaking forth from darkness into Light, may she receive the Holy Spirit, go to her home and her loved ones, show them what great things Jesus has did for her. Amen. God bless you. Don't doubt. Believe.

L-201 God can heal all kinds of nervousness and (Do you believe that?) asthmatic conditions, and make you well. You believe that? Then go, believe with all your heart. And God bless you, brother.

L-202 How old are you? [The sister says, "Thirty-eight."--Ed.] You have to come out of that nervousness 'fore too long, don't you? Having all kind of weary spells and everything happening to you. But it's left you now. Just go on. Believe.

L-203 God heals nervousness, stomach trouble too. Do you believe that? Then go eat what you wish to. Jesus Christ healed you.

L-204 You believe out there, every one of you?

L-205 There is a man setting with a--a shirt, looking to me, yeah, he looked down at his shirt just then. Yeah. You believe God can heal gland trouble, can make you well? You was believing then (Wasn't you?), that same time this little boy got cured of that asthmatic condition. Go home, honey, you're going to be well too. See? Believe with all your heart.

L-206 Little lady setting next to your wife there, could you believe your eyes will get well too? You believe that God will heal that eye trouble? Raise up your hand if that's what you was praying for. See?
What did they touch? Jesus Christ the Son of God.

L-207 Do you believe? You believe, young man? God can heal that blood condition, make it right (Will you believe that?) take that diabetes stuff away and make you well. You believe that? Go tell Him you believe it, and go.

L-208 Come, sir. Got stomach trouble. Do you believe God can heal it, make it well?
Go, believe it; you'll be well, be made whole.

L-209 Come, bring this little boy. Look here, son. Come a long ways. Sometimes change in altitudes, change in climates, will do it, to heal asthmatic condition. But there's one sure healing: Jesus Christ the Son of God. He gave His Son that yours might be healed. Do you believe that? Believe it with all your heart, and it'll leave him. He'll be normal, well man. God bless you, sister.

L-210 You believe? Is God still performing paradoxes? The unexplainable, unreasonable things that people wouldn't understand how it would make, but it's still true, isn't it? Now, how many is sensing, and knowing in your spirit, that there's got to be Something here that's beyond human understanding?

L-211 Now, I think we called at least fifteen people in that line, every one of them, and four or five, six, out there in the line without prayer cards, or whatever they was out in the line there--out in the audience there. But we're right now just one minute of time of closing.

L-212 Did He do it just exactly the way He said He would do it? Now, how many believes He's the same yesterday, today, and forever, sensing His Presence? Now, you seen His Presence. Now, your eye has seen; your ears have understood; and God has confirmed before your eyes His Presence. And that what you feel all the time, that condemns you when you're wrong, and tells you not to do that, that same God has become visible to you here this afternoon in His works. How many says "amen" to that? Sure, it is. Now, He's here.

L-213 Is there one here in the midst of us, that's never been a Christian, never had any confession, you just never did go to church? Would you stand up, and say, "I want to stand, not to you, minister; but I want to stand while I'm in the Presence of this Person Jesus Christ, Who is the Holy Spirit over us now. I want to stand and say, 'I want You to save me from my sins.'"? That's all I want you to do, just stand up, and that'll witness. That's all we have time to do. Say, "I want to be a Christian." Stand to your feet, and then set right back down. [Acts 2:38]

L-214 Is there one in the building? How many is in the building? I oughtn't to say, "Is there one?" 'cause there might be more than one. How many in the building will stand right now and say, "I have been wrong, God. Forgive me. I'll raise up to give You testimony that I've been wrong. I'll set down while I'm here in Your Presence. I'll set down." Just stand up.

L-215 Is there one, is there more than one? One hand. God bless you, young man. Is there another? God bless you. Is there another? God bless you. God bless you. God bless you, brother. Is there? God bless you, back there. Is there another, "I have been wrong. God, forgive me"? God bless you, sir. "I've been wrong. I--I'm sorry, Lord." God bless you. God bless you. God bless you.

L-216 Has there been anybody that's been suspicious of this ministry, and you're convinced now that it's true? Raise up there, and say, "God, forgive me." Just raise up here, and say, "I--I was a little suspicious, Brother Branham; it's all gone now." Raise your hand. Not a one? Thank you.

L-217 How many believes it couldn't be me; but it's the Christ the Son of God. Thank you. Then you shall see greater things than this done, as long as you'll believe. Just stay with Christ. I'll do my best to stay right with Him myself.

L-218 Now, how many here is sick and needy, raise up your hands, "I'm--I'm sick, Brother Branham; I'm needy"? See, just look at the people. Now, will you do this and just believe my word this much? Let's put our hands on one another, while I just hold my hands out toward you. Let's pray.

L-219 Dear God, I bring to You this little audience this afternoon, where we have heard and read the Word of God. We know that it's every bit the Truth, because it's Your Word. We not only now believe it to be true; we know that it's true. We have seen You, Lord, do something that will make people know that there's still... Besides a paradox of--of the world, and space, and the natural laws of God, we can see here where that the law of death working in a human's body, where that science has failed to--to cure by their research. And, Lord, we're grateful for those people. We by no means belittle them.

L-220 We're grateful for them. But, Lord, when it comes to a place that they can do no more, now we see Your great hand come in; knowing that there's no man could heal them, because he'd be a doctor, or have to take some remedy. But to see the Son of God come down, and that made the promise, that we all believe in it...

L-221 Every person held their hand up, that wasn't saved, and--and wanted to be saved. God, something warned their heart. Some of them said they'd been wrong, maybe backslid and wanted to come back. I pray that You'll take each one back. For they know, Lord, and knowed... Many of them may have known me, or of me, for these years, and know that there's no good thing in a man, and especially me. How could there be any good thing? But yet they seen that Word that God promised, made manifest. They're convinced that It's the Truth. They've accepted It.

L-222 Many here I could not bring to the platform. And, Father, Thou bear me record, never have I said that it would be something that I could do, no more than yield myself to You, and let You take me out of the way and put Your Spirit in there to work. Now, Father, seeing that one person can do that, other can do it, I pray that each one that has their hands laying on each other, that's sick and afflicted, will be healed just at this time.

L-223 Let the great Holy Spirit pass through the building just now and make everyone well. Save everyone, Lord. Give such an experience. Pour out the Holy Ghost, Lord, upon this audience. Oh, we're looking for You to do great things this coming week. Just let it be so, Lord, right now, in the Name of Jesus Christ.

L-224 Now, let us all stand to our feet. Do you believe with all your heart? Now, I wonder if our sister at the piano there, would give us a--a--a little chord of this, "I Will Praise Him. I Will Praise Him." You've heard that? Now, let's sing it together. Now, we'll hope to meet you tomorrow evening. Now, they'll dismiss officially, just in a moment, but I want to sing this song with you. All right, let's go.

L-225

L-226 Let us bow our heads now for the dismissing prayer. All right, Brother Jewel Rose is going to dismiss us. God bless you, Brother Rose, while we have our...

L-126 How many in the audience will believe it? Here we both stand right here before the Lights, that we've never met in this life, have no more idea who that woman is, what she is, where she come from, what she wants. I've never seen her in my life, no more than I ever seen that woman down there in my life. But, see, here's what I'm trying to get to do: get that discrepancy away from you now and believe the Word when the Word is made flesh right here among us. The Word becomes alive in our own flesh, that shows the Presence of God.

L-127 Now, may He grant it to her. She's wanting a worthy cause. She's childless; she wants a baby. She's about forty years old. That's certainly not impossible.

L-128 They're setting right out there now, women who were barren all their life, and come to the platform like this, and the Lord give them children. Some of you raise your hand out there that know. See, see? I picked up a little darling girl the other day, Sunday, after I left here, Sunday afternoon; that her mother was barren, the Lord spoke. And the little girl, the sweetest little thing, is she here? Where's she at? Yeah, here she is right here, setting right down here, the mother setting there. Here's the little girl herself. See her? She was a spoken Word from God.

L-129 Now, will you believe Him with all your heart? Do you believe that that blessing that you have, that you feel in you now, has been God answering? If God would tell me what your name is, so you could name the baby, would you believe? Then, Mrs. Thompson, you can go home and have your baby, if you'll believe it with all your heart.

L-130 You believe with all your heart? Just have faith; don't doubt; just believe God. God is God.

L-131 How do you do, sir? I suppose we're strangers too. The only time I ever seen you in my life, as I know of, is when you was coming there. And I thought you were Brother Shakarian's uncle, or who it... Mashagian, Brother Mashagian, the singer, when you come by. And then I seen you was going to the prayer line. Now, being a stranger with you, and, or to you, and I a stranger, each way. Now, if the Lord Jesus will tell me something that you--that you're, maybe what you're wanting, let's just say that; tell you what, tell me what you're wanting. Now, He's already give it to you. Only thing is just enough faith to believe it.

L-132 Now, how many understands that? Just enough faith to believe that you get what you ask for. See?

L-133 Now, now, if you're up here wanting something, and He can tell me what your desire is, then you know I don't know your desire, then it has to be Something here that's doing it. Now, according to the Word, He promised to do that. He knowed the thoughts within their hearts. Is that right? All right.

L-134 You have a great desire to be healed. One thing, you're suffering with a nervous condition, real nervous. That's right. Another thing, you got a back trouble, and that back has been very bad for some time; you've even had a operation on it. That's THUS SAITH THE LORD. That's true. See? That's right. And here's another thing; your deep desire, is, you want to receive the baptism of the Spirit. That's exactly right. Come here.

L-135 Dear God, in the Name of Jesus Christ, may this man be filled with the Holy Ghost, before he leaves these grounds, in Jesus' Name. Amen. Now, receive It, my brother. Just have faith, don't doubt.

L-136 How do you do? I suppose, as far as I know, that we're strangers one to the other. If that's right, why, so that people will know, just raise up your hand so they see that we're strangers. I never seen her in my life, knowingly. I guess she never seen me, 'less it was out in the audience. Because the heavenly Father knows, and here's His Word laying here, that I have never seen the woman, knowingly, in my life. Therefore, I wouldn't know what you're here for, have no idea who you are, what, or nothing about you. I couldn't tell you one thing.

L-137 Only thing, it's just a gift. If I can... As you heard me explain that awhile ago. Just move over, hear what He says; what I see, I can say it. What He doesn't say, I cannot say. I'd say that in myself, and it'd be wrong. See? It'd be wrong. But if He says it, it's absolutely right. It can never; it never has been wrong. It never will be wrong as long it remain God. See? See, because God cannot be wrong.

L-138 But if God can tell me what you want, what your desire is, or--or what you're here for, something you've done, or something, something like that, or who you are, where you come from, or whatever He wants to tell me, you'd believe? Thank you.

L-139 One thing, you have trouble with your feet. Your feet bothers you. That's right. Raise your... You have a lady's trouble, female disorder. And you've got a great desire in your heart, because you've just lost somebody or something. It's a boy, and your boy has left home, run away, and you want me to pray that he'll return back.

L-140 God in heaven, send her child to her. Let the Holy Spirit stop that young man on the road tonight, Lord, send him back to his mother. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-141 He Who knows will send him back to you. Don't worry. Now, believe now; don't doubt. Just have faith, all your heart. You believe, and God will grant the rest of it.

L-142 Now, just those three or four discernings, whatever it was (See?) I--I just went till it gets blind to me. I can't explain that; there's no way to explain it. You say, "You mean, just that was worse than you preached there for forty-five minutes or more, you think?" Yes, sir. If it was three hours, it wouldn't be that much.

L-143 A woman touched the garment of our Lord Jesus. And them people are not touching me. Why, this woman here, just look here, she could... Put your hands on me. See? She just touched me all around, wouldn't do a thing; I'm just a man. But she has to touch Him. And I, by a gift, just--just--it just go... All myself goes away, and I just say what I see. See? And that's all. See? Touching me doesn't mean a thing, but she touches Jesus through me. That's how that woman touched God through Jesus, when He didn't know what was the matter with her. She just touched His garment, and went and set down. And He said--and He said, "Who touched Me?" [Luke 8:44-45]

L-144 And the apostles said, "Why, everyone's touching You. Why do You say that?"
He said, "But I perceive that virtue has gone from Me." [Luke 8:45-46]

L-145 Now, you know what virtue is? Strength. He got weak on one woman touching Him, and He was the Son of God. What about me a sinner saved by His grace. You know why it's more? Because He said, "These things that I do, shall you do also. More than this shall you do, for I go unto My Father." "Greater," It said there, but the right Greek interpretation is, "More than this shall you do." [John 14:12]

L-146 Now, the lady I know not. I have known nothing about her. She's just as total stranger to me as the other people were. We're strangers to one another. Just so that the people know it, you might raise your hand, say, "We are stranger." Now, the Son of God, if He one time met a woman in a little panoramic like this by a well, and He talked to her just a moment, and He knowed where her trouble was, and He told her what her trouble was. And so she knew by that, that that was the Messiah. Now, that--that I've... You've touched me; I've touched you, and nothing happened. But if my faith by a gift and your faith by believing in it can touch Him, and He can speak through us to--through me to you, then you know that He's here like He was at that--that well at Sychar. See? He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. You believe that?

L-147 You have so many troubles, so many afflictions, complications. One of the main things that you want to be prayed for is arthritis. That's right. That right? You're stiffening up by arthritis. When you see you raise your arm...

L-148 And you did walk out kind of slow, the best of my remembrance. Maybe just wait just a minute, maybe something else can be said that'll take the... Are... Then when you feel things, people, you know, like a breath coming against It. They say, "Why, he guessed that," or, you know, like that.

L-149 But, you seem to be a fine person; just talk to me just a moment. Let's stand here just a bit, because I do think there's something else that's in your heart that you're wanting from God. Now, I cannot answer your prayer, but He can re... Because if you believe it, it's already answered. But if you just want to believe; to make you believe. Now, I tell you; it's concerning a loved one that's not here, and that is a brother, and that brother is not even in this country. He's in kind of a wet country, a lot of lakes. I'd say like something like in Michigan or some... Yeah, Michigan's where it's at. And he is suffering with a deadly killer, and that is a uncurable kidney trouble that he's bothered with it. That is right, isn't it? That's THUS SAITH THE LORD. Now, the handkerchief that you got in your hand, that you raised to God, send that to your brother and tell him not to doubt, but to believe, and that'll--he'll be healed now if you'll believe it. [Acts 19:12]

L-150 Do you believe with all your heart? See? Then if you believe, there's only one thing to do, that's, absolutely accept it. Is that right?

L-151 Now, you say, "He's looking at that, them people. That's what he's doing, looking at them." You see that so much.

L-152 But that you might not know this... This lady here, come up this a-way, lady, here, the patient, ever who you are. I'm not looking at her. Do you believe that God can reveal to me what's your trouble? Raise your hands, if you do, this lady here, this lady here, the patient. Yeah. Yeah. All right, then if you'll believe that with all your heart, that asthmatic trouble won't bother you anymore. All right, go home and believe as you would...?...

L-153 Didn't look at her did I? See, He... You look this way; the vision is there no matter what takes place. Amen. Can't you see it? Just perfectly as God can be perfect.

L-154 You believe too? Asthma could leave you too, couldn't it? You believe it would? All right, go tell the Lord Jesus that you--you believe Him.

L-155 Someday you'd have to pack a--a little cane around if that arthritis crippled you up, but it ain't going to do it. You ain't; you don't believe it is, do you? You believe you're going to be all right? Go on your road, and Jesus Christ makes you well.

L-156 Heart trouble kills people, but it don't have to kill you. You believe that God will heal it for you and make you well? Go believing it with all your heart, say, "I truly believe for it."

L-157 You speak English? You understand English? Somebody come. [An interpreter comes--Ed.] Yeah, all right. Will you speak to her what I tell her? Tell her if she'll believe, the stomach trouble will leave her. She--she will believe it? Your back trouble will leave you too, so now you can go on your road and be healed.
How do you do? You believe?

L-158 That man setting there with back trouble, looking at me when I said that, he could be healed too, if you believe it, sir. All right, sir.

L-159 The lady setting right next to you there, you got neck trouble, haven't you, lady? You believe that God will heal you? You want to lay hands on the little boy for his knees, and he'll get well too. You can believe it? You had female trouble, lady's trouble, you don't have it now. Your faith healed you and made you whole.

L-160 Do you believe Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever? Then let's put our hands on one another and pray this prayer of faith, each one of us, pray the prayer of faith. [Hebrews 13:8]

L-161 Dear God, while we're so covered in Your Divine Presence to see You moving out through the audience, healing the sick everywhere. Thou art God. I pray that You'll heal this entire audience. Let the Breath of God fall fresh into their hearts, and let them know that time is running out. We're just a little while longer to be here, then we're going to be with Him Who we love. And may now His Presence bring healing to everyone.

L-162 We condemn Satan; we condemn all of his acts. In the Name of Jesus Christ, Satan, come from the people.

L-163 All that will believe Him now, and accept your healing, stand up on your feet, say, "I now stand up to accept my healing. I believe it." Regardless of your condition, if you really believe it, stand up to your feet. Now, raise up your hands, and say, "Thank You, Lord Jesus, for healing me." God be with you.

L-200 And this little Amish girl now, not knowing nothing about anything about Pentecostals, because she belonged to the Amish church; but she was playing. Her long hair fell down; she raised in the Spirit and begin to sing in unknown tongues, and the... and with the harmony of that song. And them piano keys moved up-and-down, playing, "The great Physician now is near, the sympathizing Jesus." Amen! He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. [Hebrews 13:8]

L-201 Now let us pray now as... Now let's everybody out there pray. You people coming through the line, when we lay hands upon you, remember, Jesus said, "If you would believe it, you would be well." You believe it? Now let's all sing now.

L-202 "The great..." Now as you walk through now, He is here. Take my word, or you believe it yourself, He is here. Everybody in prayer out there now for the people.

L-203 [Brother Branham and ministers pray for the sick while Brother Borders leads the congregation in singing. Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]

L-204 All that believe, raise your hand like this, say, "I believe." [Congregation says, "I believe."--Ed.] [Mark 9:24]

L-205 Here sits a man sitting here. The reason I was extent; talking, he is dying with cancer. He is on this crutch. There is no way in the world for the man to live, outside of God. He has got cancer all through the, bowels, and he is going to die if it isn't for the mercy of God. And I wish I could just... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... word of encouragement to this man.

L-206 You, you know the doctors can do nothing for you now. You're beyond that, see. And you're... You only got one chance, and that is in Christ, see. And, brother, you... I'll die one day, too. You'll have to go, if Jesus tarries. I've got to meet you over there, stand there at the Judgment Bar. And this night...

L-207 You know, like in television, television has picked up that every time we even move our finger, anything, it's on record. Every word we say, is on record. Now, see, television has proven that. Now, television doesn't manufacture a picture, it only channels that wave into the television. See, it doesn't make it. There was television when Adam walked on earth, there was television when--when Moses come through the Red Sea, there was television when Elijah was on Mount Carmel, see, but they just now discovered it. See? And now everywhere I...

L-208 Every move we make, and every sound, it's playing a record that will meet us at the Judgment. Every move we make has got to meet us there. And I've got to answer for the words that I say to you, as a minister. I've got to do it, because God will hold me responsible to it.

L-209 Now if I could, I would make you well; 'cause you just got a little time, if not for God. Now, I come down and prayed over you, all I knowed how to do. Brother, anything in the world, I could do for a man sitting there in that condition, I would do it.

L-210 And let me ask you, see. You--you--you are already healed, because Jesus said you was. See, "By His stripes we were healed." Now if you could, from the bottom of your heart, accept that, you'll not die now, but you'll live. [Isaiah 53:5]

L-211 Now, see, now we know that television is coming through this room. We know that. We don't see it. We can't see it, our eyes are not made, our senses can't pick it up. It takes a manufactured tube, or whatever it is, crystal, to pick that up.

L-212 So is God present. We don't see Him, but we know He is here. Jesus Christ is the same. Look, He just declared Himself, how He makes Hisself. Now, as far as healing, if He was standing right here now, He could do no more for you, see, not another thing. If the Son of God was standing right here, which He is, He is here, but He couldn't do no more for you, because He has already identified Himself here. See? And He is here right now, just the same, to heal you and make you well.

L-213 And that little lady there told me, said, "You asked the blessing, and prophesied or something," over her, that she would have a baby, sitting in that wheel chair. And she did, she had her baby.

L-214 And now the little lady sitting here. Now she had a goiter operation, and it paralyzed her. Well, we just see so much of them things happen. Now, little, sister, I know you're a genuine Christian. Why God has let you sit there, I don't know. I believe maybe. it's because. that you have... Faith, you--you're trying to have faith, to get out of there, see; but now look, let's just not try to have it, let's just have it now, see, we just--we just going to be there. That's all there is to it, it's going to start right now, and we're going to get well. And you people out there in those chairs, what, or--or whatever you are, just remember that Christ is present.

L-215 Now you say, "Is there somebody, do you see my picture is coming through." Oh, yes.

L-216 Even the Words of Jesus Christ, that He spoke when He was here on earth, is passing right through this room. It never dies. How many knows that's scientifically the truth? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Well, what is it? Then the Spirit picks up that Word that's been written, and makes It manifest. Oh, glory!

L-217 He is here. He is right here now, the Lord. We just... We have seen so much, He's done so much, till we just kind of, you know, just kind of stumble over it. If we would realize, not just some mythical something, some theological term; but the evidence that He promised He would show Himself in this day, here He is declaring it right here before us right now. What a wonderful thing! Isn't that wonderful? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]

L-218 Now you believe. Will you believe it? Believe you're not going to die. You're going to live, and you are going to honor God. You're going to honor God. Have you ever been baptized? You're a Christian, are you? And you're a Christian. Well, you want to live for the honor of God. Then go live, my brother. In the Name of Jesus Christ, live!

L-219 And, sister, you want to walk for the glory of God, and take care of your baby; then walk, sister, in the Name of Jesus Christ!

L-220 You, every one of you, do the same, in the Name of Jesus Christ! Don't forget this Westward Ho Motel here tonight, the Presence of God identified here. He is no respecter of person. He only wants you to believe. Do you believe Him now? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Amen. God bless you.

L-210 Now, as I said, our--our places, we don't have to have that, to come up and lay hands on people. We laid hands on them last night. But the only thing you have to have is faith, and then recognize. By faith you accept it, by faith. Not--not by anything that...
Don't say, "Well, now how can it be done?"

L-211 If I could tell you how it was done, then it wouldn't be no more faith. I don't know how it's done. I don't know, but I believe it. I--I don't know how--how God saves a sinner, but He does it. I don't know how God does any of these things, but I accept it. He, He does it, and that's the way. Because, I can't explain it. Now, well, I... Never will be explained. No one can. Because, if you do, then it is no more faith.

L-212 I don't see how God and Christ could be the same Person, but They were. Scripture said. Well, you can't explain it, but, They were. "My Father is in Me. It's not Me doeth the works; it's My Father in Me. If I do not His works, then that shows I'm not of Him. But if I do His works, then He testifies Himself that I am of Him." [John 10:37-38]

L-213 Well, it's the same thing now, exactly the same thing. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, if you will believe. [Hebrews 13:8]

L-214 Now there is a man sitting right here before me, he has got dark hair. He has got a watch on his arm, a dark suit. He is wearing glasses. If you can look right here, you see him sitting with his eyes closed, praying. I don't know that man. The Heavenly Father knows I don't know him. But I'm just going to look to him just for a minute, 'cause he looks like he's so sincere, sitting there. Ever since I made mention, the man just closed his eyes and started praying. The man is a stranger to me, that's, to my hands. I don't know him. God knows that man, and He can reveal to me. If that promise is true in the Bible, He can reveal to me what that man has got his eyes closed for, and what he is praying about. Do you believe that? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]

L-215 Do you believe it, sir? If you'll open your eyes, you're sitting right here, look right here. Do you believe that? All right. Now you know I don't know you. We are strangers to each other. But God knows you. Now he started crying, weeping. Because, I can tell him now that God is going to answer his request, see, because that was what struck him just then, that Light; from darkness, changed to Light. See?

L-216 Now, the man, he is praying for somebody else, and that's this little boy sitting over here by him. That's his son. That's right. Now, that little boy is suffering with a--a stomach disorder, and also something wrong with his intestines. That's right. That's right.

L-217 You're not from here. You are not from Arizona. You're from California. That's right. And you're a minister, and your fellowship is with the Assemblies of God. That's true. Rev. McKeig is your name, or, Rev. Keig, that's right. Is that true? Wave your hands like this. Now your little boy is going to get well. Your faith!

L-218 Now what? Now there is the man with his hands up, he doesn't know me, I don't know him. But what was it? He touched the High Priest. Now, see, he couldn't lean to his own understanding. Now what he's got to do, what does he do now? He has got to believe that what was told him, the truth, 'cause he knows he knows not me. That's right.

L-219 Here, here sits a woman sitting right down here in front of me, also, she has got her head bowed. She is suffering with a cancer. She also comes from California. I hope she don't miss this. Miss Adams, that's your name. I never seen her in my life. Yeah, that is true.

L-220 There is a lady sitting right back out here. I can't just put my, just point to her, but I see the Light hanging over her. She is deeply in trouble. She has got trouble with her neck, for one thing. And another thing, she--she's got a--a spiritual troubles, worry she is troubling about. And she has got a domestic trouble; her daughter just run away. That's right. That's true, isn't it? She has got her hand up. Mrs. Miller, that is right. Do you believe? God will send her back, heal your body. Now, I never seen her in my life. She is completely a total stranger.

L-221 Here's a lady sitting here in the audience. She--she is not from here, she also is from California. She has got cancer, and the cancer is on her breast. She has been operated on, one breast, and it's went to the other. That's right. Mrs. Kalin, that is right. Do you believe that God will make you well? You believe it. I'm a stranger to you, lady. I don't know you. That's true. See? She's cancer.
That you might know that God is present!

L-222 There is a lady sitting right next to her. Her name is Mrs. Harris. She is a total stranger to me. But when the Spirit struck this woman, she also in sympathy with her. And she comes from California. That's right. And she has got trouble with her shoulder. That's right. Do you believe that God will heal you? If that's true, raise up your hand so that the people can see; total stranger.

L-223 Lean not to your own understanding. What can do that? You can't explain that. That's a paradox. It's beyond explaining. Ask those people; I never seen them in my life, never knowed nothing about them. It could just go on through the meeting.

L-224 But, now look, don't lean to your own understanding. But lean to what He promised, that He would do that; if that isn't the same Spirit that was dwelling in human flesh, that knowed that Sarah laughed in the tent, behind the Man. Is that right? And He promised, just before the world was destroyed with fire, when the Son of man would reveal Himself again in like manner, as the--the Son of man (prophetic) would reveal Hisself in human flesh like He is here with us tonight, as He did then. Now what hour are we living in? Just near the destruction. [Genesis 18:10-14], [Luke 17:29-30]

L-225 Friend, don't stand in here, no longer, a sinner. Accept Jesus Christ while you're in His Presence. Now, I know, usually it's customary for ministers to make pleas and tell stories, about mother that's dead and gone on. That's all right. But we don't come upon the basis of our mother being dead. My mother is dead, too; my father, also. But we come up, intelligently, accepting upon the basis of God manifesting Himself in Jesus Christ, to take away the sins of the world. We come and believe upon the Atonement. And while He has a vindicated His Word... [John 1:29], [John 3:3]

L-226 I don't care what church you've gone to, Methodist, Baptist, Catholic, Presbyterian, or no church at all. If you will admit that you have understood it different, and know that you really never have been born again, but you want to be, and want to accept it now, the promise now. You might not be filled now, but you will be filled when the... as the meetings goes on. You want to accept it upon those basis, would you stand up to your feet and let me offer prayer for you right where you're standing. Everyone in here that knows...

L-227 Don't lean on your own, well, say, "I've spoke in tongues." Now, that don't have nothing to do with it. I believe in speaking in tongues, too.

L-228 But I've seen witches, devils, and everything else, speak in tongues and interpret it. That's right. Ask missionaries down here, we can find out, Brother Creech, and you know that's right. I've seen them speak in tongues, and drink blood out of a human skull, call on the devil. Sure. I've seen them lay a pencil down, and it would get up and write in unknown tongues; and the witch, wizard stand there, interpret it.

L-229 So speaking in tongues is no sign you got the Holy Ghost. If that, and if you speak in tongues and deny this Word, there is something wrong somewhere. Right, uh-huh, right. Don't lean to your own understanding.

L-230 Somebody now, you say, "Well, I shouted it." I do too. But don't lean to that.

L-231 I've seen all kinds of demon powers shout and scream. I've seen Mohammedans shout and scream till, they worked theirself in such a place, they could run splinters through their hands. In India, I've seen them scream and jump up-and-down, take balls of water, with hooks in it, and push it through their skin and walk on hot fire coals, right, denying Jesus Christ.

L-232 See, don't lean to your own understanding, but upon the Word of God. If your life doesn't cope, with this Bible, to believe every Word that's in there; and you want to believe it, and want God to work His will through you, because you can be a part of God, will you stand and say, "I will accept it right now, brother." Thank you. Thank you. God bless you. God bless you. God bless you. God bless you. God bless you. Wonderful. God bless you. May God grant to you, all these sincere. You say... Just--just keep standing, just...

L-233 You say, "I'm a church member, Brother Branham, but really I'm a Pentecostal; but when it really comes to really saying I can believe all that Word is the Truth, I just can't do it, but I--I want to do it. You help me, you pray for me. I want to stand up and say, 'I--I... '" You say, "Well, look, sitting here, or I have testified in this church, that I was." But you know, down in your heart, you're not. God knows you're not, too, see, so why not just stand. Don't lean to your own understanding, but lean to His Word.

L-234 Will you stand, some more? Anybody else wants to stand? God bless you. God bless you. God bless you, you. "God, help me." God bless you all. That's good. Just keep standing.

L-235 Say, "Will that do me any good?" Stand up one time, see if it does. Really mean it, "I want, Brother Branham, I want to be right. I want to be right."

L-236 Now, I'm not saying leave your church. No, sir. Stay right there where you're at, just be a real Holy Ghost filled person in that church. You say, "Well, I don't know what my pastor will say." He'll appreciate you if you are, if he's a man of God. That's right.

L-237 "Let your light so shine before man that they may see your good works and glorify their Father." [Matthew 5:16]

L-238 God bless you. Well, God bless both of you, and you; and you, brother, you. God bless you, each one. God bless you. God bless you down here.

L-239 Now you that raised up, if you feel better after raising up, just raise your hands to tell others that you feel better about it after you raised up. See, every hand. See? Sure, you do. See, you're sincere. You're standing up, say, "I'll be a witness."

L-240 "He that will stand for Me here, I will stand for him there. He that's ashamed of Me here before these men, I'll be ashamed of him before My Father and the holy Angels." Don't be ashamed of Him. Don't lean upon your own reasoning. Lean upon the Word of God. "He that will confess Me before men, him will I confess before My Father and the holy Angels." [Mark 8:38], [Luke 9:26], [Matthew 10:32-33]

L-241 Will there be some more, just before we pray? Let us bow our heads then. God bless you, sister. Sure. God bless you, and you, brother. Certainly. Would be another one, just while we have our heads bowed? God bless you, you. Now, that's right, you're still standing. We'll just wait a moment, just a moment. God bless you, brother. God bless you. Say, "Does it mean anything, say, 'God bless you'?" That's pronouncing my blessings to you. God bless you.

L-242 Some of you that's standing around the wall, where you have no room to sit down, would you just raise your hand, say, "Me, God, it's me"? God bless you, brother. God bless you, and you; and you, sister; and you, my brother; and you, my sister.

L-243 Oh, the Holy Spirit is so sweetly moving over the audience. Can you feel That? God bless you, young man up here on the platform. God bless you, over in the corner. God bless you, young fellow. Yes.

L-244 O Holy Spirit, move freshly in our hearts now. Show us our wrongs, Lord. We don't... We won't lean to our own understanding, our own reasoning. But we lean upon You, because we know that we're standing in Your Divine, vindicated promise of today. You have made Yourself known beyond any, beyond any reasoning. We could not reason nor explain it. But You've come right down here in our midst now, and made known to us that You are here, and man and women are believing that and accepting it.

L-245 God, take each one of us into Your bosom, and hide them in the Rock of Ages until the fires are passed. We are fixing to be burned, Lord. We know it. We are back in Sodom. "But the righteous shall not perish with the guilty." You will call Your children, Lord. You told Lot, "Get out of there. Get out." I pray, God, that each one that's in that condition tonight, that's out there, not sure where they're standing... [Genesis 18:23-25]

L-246 God, they wouldn't take a chance on going down a one-way street, the wrong way. They wouldn't take a chance on running a redlight, if they're in their right mind, because they might get killed. Then how could a person take chance on their Eternal destination, just guessing, presuming, adventuring without really authority to adventure, because they belong to a church or a denomination? And really they can't, they can't understand how that the Word of God could be today as it was then, how these promises might be made manifest. "The apostolic age to be gone." Help them, Father. I commit them to You in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen.

L-247 Thank you, my brother, sister. I'm so glad to call you my brother, sister.

L-248 Remember, God will make me answer for every word, at the Day of the Judgment. Everything I have preached tonight, I got to answer for it. I am conscious of that. What have I done since a little boy, preached this Gospel, and then be a castaway?

L-249 Now how many of you is sick and afflicted, here tonight, and you want to be prayed for? Raise up your hand. Now will you just do one more thing for me? Lay your hands over on one another. Lay your hands on each other. Everybody bow your head now, and just like you was in church, up here on the platform.

L-250 Dear God, in the Name of Jesus Christ, and of His Presence, a vindicated Presence! The very Word that's been preached, has been confirmed that You are the same yesterday, today, and forever. Let the Holy Spirit of God sweep over this crowd of people just now. Many of them has come and accepted You as their Saviour, many backsliders has accepted You and come back. O God, I pray that in the Name of Jesus Christ, that You will heal every person. You said, "These signs shall follow them that believe; if they lay their hands on the sick, they shall recover." You promised it, Lord, and the believing children have their hands laid upon one another. [Mark 16:17], [Hebrews 13:8]

L-251 Satan, you are defeated. Come out of these people, in the Name of Jesus Christ. Let them people go, for the Kingdom of God's sake, in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

L-252 All that believe that Jesus Christ now is your healer, as well as your Saviour, and you want to accept Him upon them same grounds, stand to your feet, say, "I now accept Jesus as my healer, as well as my Saviour." Wonderful! Praise the Lord! Thank the Lord! Now let's raise our hands and sing to Him.

L-253 Oh, don't you feel good? Wave your hands. Oh, my! Let's sing it again.

L-254 You love that? [Congregation shouts, "Hallelujah!"--Ed.] Amen. Let's reach over and shake hands with somebody. This is the breaking of the meeting, started in the convention. Say, "God bless you, brother, pilgrim. God bless you." That's fine. That's good. Wonderful! Now do you believe we're going to have a great convention after this? ["Amen."] We thank God for a great meeting, now we're going to have a great convention. All that believe it, say, "Amen." ["Amen."]

L-255 Amen! The congregation said, "Amen." [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Hallelujah!

L-256 All right, shall we bow our heads now for the benediction. I don't know who has been chosen to do it. Brother Johnny Manadal, from California, while we have our heads down. Now don't forget tomorrow night, that's the first, beginning. Tomorrow night, the convention will be right here, right here in this hall, at seven-thirty.

L-257 God bless you. Have you enjoyed the Presence of God? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Amen. Now let's bow our head while Brother Johnny dismisses us.
