56-1207 - Maranatha Temple, Brooklyn, NY (Paragraphs: 74 - 83)
L-75 But the unbeliever, many of them very religious, said, "That's Beelzebub. He's a fortuneteller."
And You said, "If you call the Holy Ghost that, it'll never be forgiven you in the world or the world to come."
And You said, "These things that I do shall you also." You know where the fish that had the coin in its mouth. You know where two mules was standing hitched where two ways parted. O God, You know just as the Father showed You. And You said, "The things that I do (and in the same manner, by the same God, of course,), it'll be done to the end of the world. Yet a little while and the world (the unbeliever), will see Me no more, yet ye shall see Me for I (personal pronoun. Oh, God.)..." You said, "I'll be with you to the end of the world. I'll be in you," doing the same works, carrying on Your ministry.
You said, "I am the Vine; ye are the branches." Now, yield yourself and bear fruit, and I'll purge you that you might bear more fruit. And Father, I yield myself to Thee now under the mighty hand of the Holy Ghost, and ask that You'll help me and bless me, that I might show forth Thy resurrection to this people. And that we'll praise Thee in Christ Jesus' Name, we ask it. Amen. [Mark 3:28-29], [Matthew 28:20], [John 15:5]
L-76 While you may raise your heads. And I want you to be reverent and pray while I know that His Presence is here. Now, your audience your from me. The reason I say this a way, I've got to wait for Him. And when He anoints, and if He strikes to you, then I just ask that you have a desire for God in your heart.
If Jesus Christ has raised from the dead and standing here in His power, and you're out there in need, like the woman was that touched His garment, saying, "You..."
Now, you say, "Well, Brother Branham, can I come up and touch you?" No, that's touching me. That wouldn't do no good. But you want to touch Him.
How do you touch Him? The Bible said that, "He's a High Priest right now, at the right hand of the Father, making intercessions. He's a High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities." Is that right?
If you have an infirmity pray to Him, and ask, and find out if God won't give you the touch and let you touch Him, if you just believe. [Someone speaks in tongues--Ed.] Be reverent. Be in prayer. You look, live, just pray. [Romans 8:27, 34], [Hebrews 4:15], [Hebrews 7:25]
L-77 Now, you're a total stranger to me. I know nothing of you. You know that. But now, you just pray and say, "God (in your heart, like this) I don't know this man, and he don't know me; but You know my desire, and You know my heart. And I want You to be merciful to me." And if you'll do that, I believe He will... I'm just yielding myself to see what He would say, to see what He would do, to see how He would do it. That's up to Him. May He grant it is my prayer.
Now, I see the Light of the--that's left here now, and is standing over a lady. She's praying. And a lady setting right back on the left hand side here, she has on a little white tam, and she has a kind of a gray looking tam it is with a gray looking suit and she's praying. She's setting right behind a colored lady.
She moved her body just then. She's wearing glasses. She has dizzy spells. If that's right, lady, raise up your hand? Right straight behind that...?... You right here, you right there.
Well, you won't have it no more, lady. Your faith touched Him. If thou canst believe... That's a cause from a nervous trouble, sister. A shadow that was around you is gone. Now, be reverent. You're in the Presence of Him Who is Life.
L-78 Here's a lady setting here with a black hat, on looking at me, right here. And It's standing over her. She's got a checked dress and wearing glasses. And it's a... She's suffering with something wrong with her head. It's a sinus trouble. She has a nervous trouble. Do you believe and accept it, believe that God will heal you and be made well? Do you? With all your heart? If you do, you can have it.
Be in prayer. What do you think, sir? Seem like you can't...?... Kinda see a man looking at me there crying nervously, watching that. Let me just talk to you a minute, you setting right there with a blue suit on.
Do you believe with all your heart? Black headed, setting next to the man with the beard on. Do you believe with all your heart? Yes, you I'm talking to. Maybe the microphones is not carrying my voice. When the anointing strikes me, I don't know why--what I'm saying.
L-79 But you seem to be sincere and you keep moving yourself around. I just like to... You're right in line with me. I'd just like to talk to you. You believe me being His servant? You--you do that with all your heart? You have a need of God that you'd like for God to do, and you'd want me if I can reveal to you what you want, would you believe with all your heart that God would give it to you? You would? All right.
You look this a way and don't look at your brother, but look at Christ. And He would heal you of that rheumatism that you have wouldn't He? You have rheumatism, don't you? Yes, sir. And you have--you have a bursitis, also, don't you? That's right. That's right.
You got someone else you're praying for too, haven't you? Uh-huh. That's a wife. She isn't here. But she was in a automobile accident and got hurt. Her legs and her body was hurt, and she's all shook up. That's THUS SAITH THE LORD. That's true, isn't it? Raise your hand if that's true. You believe He raised from the dead? To heal you, sir, I couldn't. See? But it's Him. He is the Healer. I'm nothing.
L-80 Don't be worried, little mother, setting, I see your hand up like this. Don't get scared. And you with your hand like this. Just believe. You know God can heal your heart trouble and make you well? You believe that? Do you? You had heart trouble, didn't you, the little lady with a blue dress on that's got her hair combed back?
You had a nervous heart, kind of a blocked heart. When you lay down at nighttime, it's fading, it smothers you. Wasn't that right? If that's right, raise up your hand. All right. Now, you can go home and be well. Your faith touches His garment.
Are you believing with all of your...?... How many over this way believes, somebody over in this section? Hard to get to the balconies, but just believe.
L-81 I see a little girl setting with her head down, setting right here. Look up this way, honey; you're just a child, the little girl with like a pink looking blouse on. She's weeping because what happened. That Light just moved down over her just then. It was standing near.
Honey, have you got a prayer card? No, you don't? Don't have no prayer card? All right, then you'd never be called up here then, anyhow. Do you believe me to be God's prophet? Do you believe that Jesus has raised from the dead? That's the mother of the child setting by her. And you believe it, lady? Would you, sister?
Well, what you're here for tonight, you're praying for your eyes. That's right. That is right. Isn't that right? Sure. And let me tell you, that you might know me being God's prophet. You got a difficult at home: That is, your husband is not a saved man. That's right, isn't it, lady? He didn't even want you to come. That's right. I'm not reading your mind. But Jesus raised from the dead. Amen. He lives; He reigns.
L-82 Lady right behind you, the colored lady there. You have a stomach trouble, don't you, lady? That's right. You're not from this city. You're from a place called Albany. You live on 80th street, don't you? Your number is 80, and you live on First Street. Uh-huh.
The lady next to you is your neighbor. That's right. She lives on 64, number 64, First Street in Albany. She has a tumor, doesn't she? I mean Mrs. Buzby there next to you. You believe? How do I know you? I don't know you, no more than Jesus knowed Peter, but He knew who He was. All right.
Martha, you can be healed too, if you believe with all your heart. Shocked you because I know you? It's not me that knows you; it's the heavenly Father that knows you. You believe now with all your heart? You accept your healing?
L-83 Will you believe all over the building at this time? Is that the things He did when He was here on earth? Then His healing never changes. It's Him. Do you believe now? Then--then believe.
Let us pray. Our heavenly Father, may all superstitions leave the people. That devil tries to keep them in darkness. And truly they're designed to be the seed of Abraham.
And I ask that You'll go, send away this evil, or give me the spirit of power.
Satan, I wish to speak to you. You see you're exposed. Your time is nearly over. And oh, your condemnation at that day. I stand here as God's servant. You're not afraid of me, but you are of Him.
But I represent in Him in His death, burial, and resurrection. These people represent Him. And you got your demons all bound into these people. And you think you can hold them, but you're just a bluff. You're stripped of every privilege you have. You have no legal right. Jesus stripped you of every power you had at Calvary. And you're nothing but a bluff, and you ain't bluffing us no longer. Jesus is here. And you're--you are rebuked. Thou spirit of doubt, come out of this people in the Name of Jesus Christ. Leave this people, and go out of this building, and may every one of them be healed in Jesus Christ's Name.
If you're ever going to believe, you'll believe right now. Rise and be healed; give God praise and glory and be healed in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

56-1208 - Maranatha Temple, Brooklyn, NY (Paragraphs: 71 - 100)
L-72 What is a soothsayer? What is a fortuneteller? Is a perverted spirit, that the devil has taken that person who could've been used for God and perverted it into the devil's work. What is sin? Is righteousness perverted, not nothing the devil created, something different. It's what God created, and the devil perverted it. See?
Now, I trust that He'll help you, lady. Now, you'd know it would be some kind of... It'd have to be a supernatural, wouldn't it? Then whatever it would be would determine what you'd get from it: your approach. When the woman that went to the--to Elijah to ask about her baby... If she'd come up there critical, she'd have never got what she asked for.
L-73 The Roman soldier that put a rag around Jesus' head, and hit him, and said, "Tell us who hit you." He didn't get anything. Never, not even an answer, but the woman that touched His garment, she got an answer, didn't she? It was her approach (see?), and it's your approach and anybody else's approach; and it's my approach to Him. If I said I did this within myself, I'd be a--telling a lie. See? So I approach and tell God. It's Him permitting me to do this, and it's not for my sake. No, sir.
I keep my meetings little and like that to keep from even having big meetings and things. I don't have radio, television. I just let it go. See? 'Cause I--I--I don't want to be something in the picture of the world. I want to be God's servant to speak what He tells me to speak. See? And say what He says say, that when I come there that day, I want to hear Him say, "It was well done." That's--that's what I want to hear. That's what I live for. If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have my little babies and things setting down yonder tonight and crying for me. See? I'd be down there with them. I'm here to try to help somebody for the glory of God. [Luke 22:64], [Matthew 25:23]
L-74 Now, you say, "Brother Branham, what are you doing?" I'm speaking to you like Christ spoke to the woman. And now if Christ will grant it, may He do it.
I can see the lady, as she's... As our Master said He saw him under a tree. That was Nathanael, and I can see her standing weeping. She's suffering with a kind of an real nervous condition and her head bothers her all the time. That is right, and it was some sort of a shock that did that, but I see you weeping. You're so... Oh, you... Is your husband has just deceased and went home. That's right. [John 1:45-51]
You're not from this country. You've come from another state here. You're from a state where there's a lot of hardwood trees. It's Pennsylvania. That's right. God bless you, my sister, and God bless you, my believing audience. And let us pray.
Our heavenly Father, Daniel said of old there is a God of heaven that can reveal the secrets of the heart, and truly it was none other than the Lord Jesus Who stood in the fiery furnace with the Hebrew children, that was in the den... A Light standing there and those lions was afraid of that Pillar of Fire, the Angel of the Lord. And You're a Light today bringing Light to Your Church to walk in. And I pray, Father, that You'll bless this woman and give to her the desire of her heart. Grant it, Father. I bless her as Your servant and Thou has said, "Whatever you bind on earth, I'll bind it in heaven," and God, I ask that the devil be bound and will torment this woman no more, and may she go in peace in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen.
God bless you, lady. Whatever it was your desire is. 'Course I'd have to find the tape to know what it was. Go and believe you'll receive it, and you shall have it. Do you believe? All right. Be reverent. [Matthew 18:18]
L-75 Now, in the audience are you believing, you out there that's praying? A little boy, Little laddy, I sure don't know you, and you look like a fine looking little fellow to me. Little hair slicked down, little brown eyes, reminds me of my Billy when he was little. This little lad here, a dear little child, you know Jesus of Nazareth took little fellows like that into His ha--arms, and He blessed them and said, "Suffer little children to come to Me. Forbid them not for of such is the Kingdom." So therefore, if Jesus... Do you love Jesus, do you, sonny? And if He was here tonight and had on this suit that He gave me, He--He would... I believe He would bless you, if you'd ask Him to, and He would--He would give you the desire of your heart, I believe.
But the first thing He would ask you if you believed that He was the Messiah, that He had died for you and had rose again. Don't you believe that? Well now, Jesus went up into heaven, His body, corporal body. That's the body He lived in, and it's all scarred and bruised for our sins and for our sickness, and it sets on the throne of God; and the Spirit that was upon Him has come back to the earth, and It dwells among the people. And Jesus sent Brother Branham here to help you to believe on Him. [Mark 10:14]
L-76 Now, if Jesus was here, He could tell you what was your trouble, couldn't He? Well, you know Brother Branham don't know you, but Jesus does know you, because you said you loved Him, and He loves you. Now, if He will tell me what you're here for, would you believe It is Him, and will love Him and--and believe Him with all your heart?
Now, with this little innocent child, surely you people would believe, wouldn't you? Now, this if God will do it, should be convincing to everyone. This child, little innocent boy standing here. I don't know what he's here for. He might be here for somebody else. I--I don't know it--it... Maybe it's his--it's some kind of trouble he has got at home or some... I don't know. I don't know what he's here for, but God does know the child.
L-77 Now, I certainly would hate to stand here as a deceiver to that child. And I certainly would; but I only stand here God permit me to help the little fellow to love the Lord Jesus and believe in Him. And surely you adults ought to believe. But you know, the Bible said in one place over there, that in the great Millennium they're talking about the innocence, that like a little child would lead the animals around. That's simple like little faith. Now, the little boy is not one of those critics that would stand off. He just opens his little heart. That's the reason Jesus could come in.
The little boy is in a bad, serious condition. The little boy's trouble is in his ear. That's right, isn't it, sonny? It's your ear. It runs, running ear, and I see that they're making ready for an operation for you right away for that. That's right. Right away you're going to have it. They're going to operate on you, and Mommy, your mother, is sick too. Isn't she? And she has something wrong with her blood. Isn't it? It's a poisoning in her blood, like something similar to gangrene in her blood. The doctor's pretty well shook up about it. That's right. That's right, isn't it, son?
L-78 You're not from here. You're not from Brooklyn. You're from a place called Long Island. Isn't that right? And you live like a place called Bay Shore. That's right, and your name, your first name is Joseph. Isn't it? Your last name is--is like--starts with a "B." B-E-N-T. That's your first beginning of your word. Isn't it? Huh? B-E-T-T... I see. It fades from me just a moment. It passed from me. Somebody turned in the building, and I didn't get just what his last name was. B... Court. That's right. That's right. Isn't it? That's right. Amen. You believe? Now, it's up to you, friends, whether you believe or not. Come here, son.
God in heaven, have mercy on this child. Excuse all the unbelief, Lord, and let Thy mercies rest upon this child, and grant that this child will receive exactly what he come for, as I bless him in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen. God bless you, honey.
L-79 Now, you know that Brother Branham don't know you, yes, but whatever was said on there. It's on the record there. That was truth, wasn't it? If it was raise up your little hand like that. All right. Go on your road rejoicing now and be happy and make a real good man.
Are you believing? Or would you still set in gross darkness and unbelief, seeing that the Messiah lives with you tonight, trying to help you, trying to bless you. How sad it is. How dense unbelief is.
L-80 Is this the man? How do you do, sir? I suppose we're strangers to each other. We're strangers. I don't know you, never seen you in my life; but there's Someone present here Who does know you. And if He knows you, then He could if He would permit me to, to be able to help you somewhere, sir. I--I don't know you, but if He could tell me what you're standing here in front of me for, would you believe it and accept it as Christ trying to help you, permitting me to do this by a Divine gift, which was ministered by an Angel of God? Which it would be... It wouldn't be contrary to the Scripture, would it? It would be a--with the Scripture.
You're very nervous, aren't you, sir? Nervous, and you got weak eyes that you want prayer for. Isn't that right? You got weak eyes. And by the way, you're a preacher too. And I hear you say something, you're--like "gracias", so you're--you speak Spanish or something. That's right. You're a pastor of a church. That's true. Isn't it?
Now, do you believe me? Here's another thing. A desire of your heart has been to meet me for a while. That's right. I'm not reading your mind, but that's your heart. That's right. Well, I'm glad to know you, brother. God in heaven, grant to my brother who's standing in Your Presence, our Creator, the Messiah, God Who we love. We pray that You'll give to our brother the desire of his heart and fulfill everything that he asked for in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
God bless you, my dear brother. God bless you.
L-81 Have faith in God. Don't doubt. Believe. Now, just a moment. Be just as reverent as you can be. A lady... It's another picture again like the Bible picture. Do you believe that?
There's a lady looking right up towards the heavens over there. She wears a little flower, a little thing on the side of her hat, kinda of a greenish looking dress. That's... You shook your head just like that. You're praying and asking God for me to turn and tell you so you can be helped. Isn't that right? You got trouble in your side. Isn't that right? Just raise your hand now if that's true. Now, you're helped. Your faith touched Him, not me. I don't know you.
I challenge you to believe it. Amen. In the Name of the Lord Jesus just believe it and find out if it's right or not. Anywhere, up in the balcony, wherever you are, just have faith in God. Oh, what a feeling. Now, we don't go by the feeling, but His Presence. Oh, how... It just looks like if--if you just ask anything, it would be done. Now, just have faith and be reverent. [Mark 11:22]
L-82 And now to you, lady. I suppose we're strangers to each other. We never met each other in life. I know nothing of you, and perhaps you know nothing of me, only just what you've read and being a minister. But you're here for some purpose, and if you're here for some purpose, I don't know what it is. And lady, I've got a mother at home tonight. I'd be home with my mother, if I didn't think God sent me up here to New York, and I certainly wouldn't want to come here and tell you some false thing about myself, that I could do to help you. I wouldn't do that, because I'd be lying, but if God will permit me to, I might do something in His Name that would help you to believe on the finished works of Christ and to receive it. Do you understand? I trust that you do, and that God will grant to you your desire.
If God will let me know what you want to ask God like it was in prayer, if God will let me know, or maybe say what you've been praying about, your prayer, what's been in your heart... You think of something else if you think about telepathy. See? You just let--let God tell me what you've been praying about. Let it come through prayer, and you know whether you ask it or not. May He grant it, and that surely would take the superstitions from the unbeliever.
L-83 You been praying for God to help you of a severe nervous case you been having. That's right. You pray for that both day and night. You're praying for a son also, and that son isn't here. He doesn't even live in this city, and that son is suffering with a heart condition. Was that... Not only that but one of the other things you're praying for for him. He's not a Christian, and that's the thing that's on your heart.
However, I see another boy with you, and he's a kid about ten years old, and he's a preacher. And here: the one of the desires of your heart, you be the judge, you are wanting me to lay hands on that boy to bless that boy for his ministry. That's THUS SAITH THE LORD...?... Do you believe? Now, you be the judge. Is that true? If...
Come here, sonny. The little boy got his hair combed back isn't it? I seen him... the little smooth-faced boy... Come here, sonny. Mother's prayer is to be answered tonight. God bless you, my little brother.
L-84 Our heavenly Father, I lay my hands upon this boy as Your little servant, and perhaps someday I'll have to leave if Jesus tarries, and I pray that You'll bless this child. It's the desire of his mother's heart, and I pray that You'll anoint him. May he never go into error, but may he be a minister all the days of his life to preach the Gospel and to win souls to Thee.
Bless his dear mother and the other things whatever it was that You revealed tonight that she has need of. I pray that You'll grant them, and with my hand on the son and on the mother, I pray that in Christ's Name, that You'll give to them the desire of their heart. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I ask it. Amen.
God bless you, sonny, and receive what you called for, and God bless you; and God bless you, mother, and give to you the desire of your heart. Go happy, rejoicing. The promise is yours. Amen. Amen. God bless you, honey. If thou canst believe, all things are possible. Now, real reverent just a moment as we're moving along in the meeting.
L-85 Now, how many knows the lady? Is anybody here knows the woman? Sure. All right. You know I don't know the lady. Ask her if I ever knowed her or anything. Knowed nothing of her, but whatever it was the only way I know it's on this recorder down here. It's a vision. It's Christ permitting you all to know that He's raised from the dead. This is not some fiction; It's the Truth.
Now, here is a lady standing here before me, like another place that the Lord to a woman, and where... yeah, I believe there's... Was there a man in the line tonight? Say that man just was told him. What kind of a man was it? I... Was it a--a man in the line tonight? You, sir? Was you the man was in the line prayed for? All right. Now, when the Lord spoke to you, why, He knew you just like He knowed that honest, sincere, religious man called Nathanael. And He knowed something about Nathanael, where Nathanael was, or what Nathanael done, and He knows same thing about you. See? He can reveal it.
L-86 Now, here's a woman. He knows the woman. I don't know the lady. I've never met you in my life. There's not a way for me to know you, but now, if the Lord Jesus will speak again... Will it take all the superstitions and doubt from you? Now, remember He's permitting this. This is His grace to you and to me (See?) by permitting a Divine gift to operate. Not me, I don't have one thing to do with it, just my mouth is all, and my surrender, my will surrendered to His. That's all it is. You are the one that's doing it, not me. God's permitting it, but you're doing it.
Now, if I don't know you, never seen you. Then if there's something you're standing here for, God can reveal it to me. Can't He? And if He will, will you--would you believe it come His permitting will to help you? Would the rest of the audience believe the same thing? Does anyone know the lady? Would you raise your hand anybody that knows her? Yes, there's people here that know her, all around. Then you be the judge whether I know her or any way of knowing her. She's just a lady standing here, but do you believe Christ knows her?
L-87 Now, Christ loves everybody, and He wants everybody to love Him, and this is His kindness to you, that You might love Him, and believe Him, and have faith in His finished work for you. Now, be real reverent. I know it's getting late, but if you'll just stand for just one more, and don't move around, I'll appreciate it. See? You are a spirit. If you wouldn't, you'd be dead, and your spirit sometimes when unbelief becomes so dense it hinders. You remember Jesus Christ. Well, you say, "Brother Branham, that's psychology." Is it? Then why did Christ take the man out of the multitude to heal him? Then why did Christ put all the unbelievers out of the house before He could raise Jairus' daughter? See? The eye is the gate to the soul, and when you're looking this way, and classing it as something else, as I know you are some (see?); then that's a hindering. See? God be merciful to your unbelief. See?
L-88 Now, but lady, as I say, you and I standing here. It's for your good. Christ would bypass the critics to get to you. That's right. You believe that. Now, I don't know you, never seen you, know nothing of you, but I know that--that there's a shadow at you. It's evil, and you--you're very nervous, upset, and you're wearied in your mind, because I see you under an operation. I believe it's up in this a way in the breast. They... It's removing of a growth, and it hasn't done very good. But, lady, Christ knows all about you. That's true, wasn't it? I just want to look at you again. I seen it, and I just want to see. You say, "Look at me?" Yes. Elijah said to Jehoshaphat and the King, he said, "If it wasn't I respected the presence of Jehoshaphat, I wouldn't even look at you." See? And that means look to see what he could see for them. [II Kings 3:14]
L-89 Christ is the Healer. The doctors has failed, but Christ is the Healer, sister. You're a desiring little woman. Your heart is all--desires. You want to do right and live right. It's in your heart. You've gave birth recently to a baby, but this disease struck you after the baby was born. That's right. Just so that you'd know that I be His prophet. You belong to a church: the Baptist. He loves the Baptist too. Now, do you believe that His Words are true, saying, "These signs shall follow them that believe: If they lay their hands on the sick, they shall recover." Will you covenant that, with you and I tonight before God, that God will spare you? Will the audience pray with me for the lady? Would you come here, sister dear? [Mark 16:17-18]
L-90 Our kind heavenly Father, as this dear, little mother stands here desperately in need, and she's made her way against the oppositions, but she's come tonight asking for a blessing; and O Jesus, the Son of God, I pray all that I know how the prayer of faith for our sister. And may I speedily hear from her that the enemy has departed from her, and she is on her way to recovery.
Thou demon, yes, you escaped the doctor's knife, but you can't escape God's power. As the servants of God, we adjure thee in the Name of Jesus Christ to leave the woman and come out of her, that she may be well for the glory of God. This we ask in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen.
I want you to write to me. Now, you're going to get sick in a few days, just real upset. You see? If it dies, your bloodstream's got to purify that, and it's just a dead growth laying there. You get real upset, but don't--don't ha--don't lose your faith. Stay right with it. Write to me in about two or three weeks. God bless you. Let us say, "Thanks be to God."
L-91 Now, look. Here's a lady here. That you might get that out of your mind, so that you know it's not telepathy. Lay your hand over on mine, lady, just as a way of make... All right. I don't know you, do I? I'm looking this way. I'm not reading her mind. If God will reveal to me what your trouble is, will you accept it, and believe that Christ will make you well? If it's true, you'll know it. You have a female disorder that God wants--that you want God to heal. It's got a drainage to it; it's the bathroom, and you know that's right, and you know that no one is in there but you and God alone, and it's a female disorder. If that is right, take your hand off of mine and raise it up. See? You who think it's telepathy, you don't even know what telepathy is. See? All right, sister. Your faith saved you. Now, go on your road and rejoice. Amen.
L-92 Do you believe out there in the audience? Just a minute. I want to ask you something. I challenge your faith. Jesus was touched one time by a woman, and a woman that He--well--that touched Him. He turned, and she denied touching Him, but He knew her anyhow, and He told her what had happened. Now, the Bible said... I'm trying to make this... If God will permit it, just as Bible days.
Now, the Bible said that Jesus is the same today. Is that right? Well, if He is the same, He's the same in principle, power, everything that He was. Is that right? And can we... Does the Bible say that He is our High Priest? Is that right? And the Bible said that He can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities. Is that right? Not then, now. Well, if He's already paid the price... Now watch; don't make the Bible contradict itself. If He's already paid the price for redemption (remember), and the healing is complete (now listen, scholars), if healing has been completed, and the Bible said that He's setting at the right-hand of God the Father as an Intercessor upon our confession, and He could be touched by the feeling of our infirmities, how would He help us? Now, solve that one out, will you?
If He's already finished the work, and He can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities, what takes place? It's His revelation returning it back like we see now, proving that He's raised from the dead. Look and live. Believe, as we look over the audience everywhere. Take away your unbelief and be reverent. Just be reverent. [Hebrews 4:15]
L-93 You without prayer cards again, put up your hands ever where you are. I'm asking God for something. Ever where... Well, I believe... I guess it'd be everywhere. All right. Just bow your heads, or you, just pray. Look this a way. Pray, whatever you want to. It doesn't matter. I cannot... It takes Him and your faith. Your faith can touch Him. That's the only way I know. I don't know a soul out there. I just wait for Him as you pray.
Yes, I see the Light, the Pillar of Fire, that I call It, that followed the children of Israel, is standing over a lady with her hand up from the ill effects from an operation. Isn't that right, lady, setting right out there on the end of the row? You believe? You have an operation, didn't you? And you're suffering from an ill effects. If that's right, raise up your hand. I'm... That's right, lady. Do you believe me to be God's servant? You do?
L-94 What about the colored lady setting next to you? Would you stand up a minute, lady, the colored lady setting next to her? Do you believe me to be God's servant? Just to contact your spirit (You see?); you don't have to be up here. So that you'd know, at the calling in the prayer line, whether you're here or there makes no difference. Would you like to get over that intestinal trouble and be made well? Do you believe that God would heal you of that intestinal trouble that you have? If that's right, raise up your hand. All right. Be seated and believe on the Lord.
The lady next to her, what do you think, lady? Could you touch His garment? There's a white lady setting next to her. Do you believe with all your heart? God heals diabetes the same as He heals anything. Do you believe that? With all your heart? All right, set down and receive your healing.
L-95 What about you, lady, sets next to her? Do you believe with all your heart? Raise up. That's right. Do you believe me to be God's prophet, servant of God? All right. You got sinus, head trouble in your head. That's right, isn't it? Set down; receive your healing in Christ's Name.
Say, I want to ask you something. Your husband's setting next to you there. How would I know he was your husband? Well I seen you together at your home. Stand up, sir. You want to be healed? You think Christ can heal heart trouble and make you well too? If you do, raise up your hands. That's what you had. Go home. Be well in Christ's Name.
Do you believe? Do you believe that the ri--risen Christ is here?
I'm going to ask you something right now. My mind is changed on something. I want to know--I want to know how many here that's a sinner and wants God to save you? It's time for you to come to the altar. You backslider and cold, lukewarm church member, your place is at the altar before the judgment of God strikes you. I call you to the altar. Every one of you that's cold and indifferent, and wasn't able meet Christ, and you without the Holy Ghost, and if God will hear my prayers and point things out to me here, He's pointing to me, to you tonight that you're in need of Him, and you know who you are. All over the building, if God will hear my prayer and open the eyes of the blind, make the deaf to hear and the dumb to speak, surely He'll hear my prayer for your...?... spiritual conditions.
L-96 And now while we bow our heads for a moment of prayer, I'm going to ask every person in here that desires these things from God to move up here before me here, so I can pray for you, so I can single you out instead of setting way back in the crowd. I'm asking you in Christ's Name to do it, while our sister will play, if she will, "Almost Persuaded" while we bow our heads.
Our heavenly Father, why do You do this I don't know. But something... There may be somebody here at their end of the road. I know You're never wrong. You're always right. And the Angel of the Lord seems to speak into my heart and say, "You stand here. I'll give you strength, And You call this altar call. And don't commit it to the pastor tonight, but you call it."
And Lord Jesus, I'm doing just as You have bid me. And You know everyone in here. And You speak to their heart now, when they know that the risen Lord Jesus, the One they'll stand before at the judgment is right here now, and bring every sinner and every backslider to the altar. May the lukewarm church member, and those who has a cold confession, and they recognize that It's You here, and not a man, not Your servant; but It's the God of heaven Who is here... The critic and all, may they come and repent right now and call for mercy, while we're praying, Father. Grant it in Christ's Name.
L-97 With our heads bowed. We're going to sing one verse of "Almost Persuaded." Every Christian praying. The rest of you, make your way here quickly, 'cause It's not me doing this. This is the Holy Spirit, the work of Him.
Almost persuaded (I call. Do you need the...?... God bless you. That's right. Yield right now in the line...?...)
Almost persuaded, Christ to receive; (Just bow right where you are. Just come right down the aisle.)
Now some soul to... (...?... God dealing... Just make your way right down. We'll wait for you. Come right on. You know you're needy.)
Some more convenient day, On Thee I'll call.

Come, won't you? Christians, if you're in good standing with God, good fellowship, pray now. You never seen Him do this before. I was stopped by the Holy Spirit. Something said there's people in here that'll be lost if you don't call tonight. Maybe it's yourself... The anointing just dropped off of me all at once and the altar call come onto me. It's God. Come on to the altar.
No matter who you are, you're in the Presence of God. He's speaking to your heart. Now, He's the One doing the talking. He was just talking here with me awhile ago. He's there with you, talking now. That's Him.
L-98 Father God, may not one fail. This may be the last time they'll be able to make a decision. May they come, humbly, sweetly, to Christ tonight.
Every saint of God be desperate in prayer. God seeks the eternal destination of the soul, just now.
Come. Come. All things are ready. Come, whosoever will, let them come and drink from the water, the Fountain of Life, freely. Come, church member. Come, businessman. Come, backslider; come to the Lord. Come, sinner friend. Whosoever will, let him come.
God bless you, young man. Just what you was supposed to do. You're the one I pointed to in the balcony. I'm glad that God spoke to your heart so definite that you had to come. There's a blessing for you tonight, the rest...
Once more...
Almost pers... (Come on now. As a servant of the Lord, I ask to come.)
Almost persuaded, Christ to receive;
Seems now some soul to say, Go, Spirit, go Thy way,
Some more convenient day, On Thee I'll call.
A lot more of them are needing to come...?... right now. His resurrected power setting here, moving out in the audience and telling the people just like He did when He was here on earth. And now He's left me. He said, "You make the altar call. You so much...
I'm going now to call out there. You just give the invitation." I'm obedient to Him. I'm giving the invitation; it's Him speaking to you. He isn't right here with me now. He's out there with you, calling you.
Once more. All right, brother. Once more. Everyone pray now. All right.

Almost persuade... (All right. Come right...?... you are...?...)
Today;
Almost persuaded, turn not away:
Jesus invites you here, Angels are lingering near,
Prayers raise from hearts so dear, O wand'rer come.
[Revelation 22:17]
L-99 While a calming, sacred quality in the church just now... I seldom ever seen that done. Right here at the closing of this meeting in the church, and the Holy Spirit dropped right from that healing line right out over here. Look swarmed around this altar here. God knows what He's doing. It's better... Obedience is better than sacrifice, and hearkening to the fats of lambs. God making His call, maybe there's someone in their final call. How do I know? Here's young ladies, young children, old gray headed, white, brown, colored, yellow, all different kinds of people bowed around this altar here with their hearts bleeding out to God. They're convinced that Christ is raised from the dead and the great white throne judgment is just before us, in your Presence now. Confess your sins and they'll go on before you and not bother you in the judgment.
I want ministers, if they will, especially in the church, no matter what denomination you're from, I want you to come stand around these people here. Let the ministers come right around them while we're going to pray. And I believe that God tonight's going to do something that you've never seen done. Wonderful. Just look at the clergy coming, would you, to be--pray with them. [I Samuel 15:22]
God grant that every one of them be saved, filled with the Holy Ghost: God's blessings resting upon them. May they anointed.
L-100 Now, you be real reverent while the rest of them are coming. Don't be leaving. If you can, possibly helping just to wait a minute. I promised to pray for these people. I keep my promise. I know God...?... prayer line what would happen. He told me to make this.
Now while we bow our heads, every Christian, ministers and all, stand around now. Soul, did you come because God has bid you come? "He that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out. I'll give him everlasting life and raise him up at the last day." That's God's promise. The same Holy Ghost that called you here, is right with you now. And when we pray, you ought to confess everything you've done that's wrong. And if you desire the Holy Spirit, raise your hand to Him and believe that God gives It.
I want you pastors passing by, laying hands on them. And may God pour out His Spirit here like a rushing mighty wind and fill every person setting here, and an old fashion revival break out among the people...?...
Almighty God, the Author of Life, the Giver of every good gift, send Thy blessings upon this people. God, I pray that You'll dismiss every sin, every unbelief, and let the Holy Ghost come into their hearts just now and reign supremely. And may every sin be remitted. I stand in the breach for the people. I ask... [John 6:37]
