61-0117 - Life Tabernacle, Shreveport, LA (Paragraphs: 77 - 93)
L-78 Now, if Christ comes and shows Hisself alive tonight... Now, if I have said right, if I have said right that He was Messiah, and the believers... That means He's the "anointed One," and we have His anointing. Won't the same anointing perform the same thing each time? [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
L-79 I love you. Brother, it's--it's going to be too late to talk to you like that at the judgment, when you're left. I want you to be ready. We're--we're... I don't know when He's coming. But if He comes tonight, I want to be ready. If He don't come till next week, I want to be ready then. So I want to be ready when... And if I sleep, that won't hinder me. I'll rise anyhow. See? But while I'm here I want every ounce of me to count for Him, and I--I want yours to do that too.
Now, this lady here, I don't know her.
[Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... do the same thing that was done in Sodom. How many believes that now with all your heart? All right. Now, I believe... Now, remember, so that you won't get the human part into it, God only works through man. How many knows that? Man is God's... That's the reason Jesus was God. That's... God just worked through a Man (Is that right?), reconciling the world to Himself. Now, He was Messiah. Then you and I become Messiahettes or little Messiahs because we're anointed with the same Spirit.
[Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... a grammar school education, and I--I don't know nothing. Only thing I know, I'm saved. That's all know. I know Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He's my Saviour. I believe Him. I believe He was God made manifest in flesh. I believe He died, rose again, and come back in the form of the Holy Spirit to anoint the church. I believe every Word of that Bible is the truth. God, give me faith to make it answer.
[Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... I've seen happen since I left you all, just around, maybe twenty, thirty calls a day at different places, and there at home. It would make some mighty fine books. It sure would. But we don't say nothing about it, just now and then to the church. We don't broadcast it out. Jesus said, "Tell no one." See? This is for the church. It's for the believers. See?
Now, if you're a believer, now you see if the Holy Spirit will move. And if It will, how many of you will believe with all your heart? If It'll do the very same thing It did when It was on a Man called Jesus of Nazareth, you'll believe that the--that Messiahettes is truth.
L-80 [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... brother, but it's His Spirit. I'm a sinner, but it's His Spirit that has to work through somewhere. He's got to have somebody to work through. See? Elijah was a man subject to like passions as we are. Is that right? He had his ups-and-downs. His temper got up, and his indignation. He's just like I was or you are. But he prayed earnestly. He was a prophet. He prayed earnestly and shut the heavens, walked right up and said, "Rain or dew will not fall till I call for it." He had an answer. That's the reason I'm standing here tonight before this woman. God promised, and I believe God. [I Kings 17:1]
L-81 [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... seen in the vision. How many heard me tell that before I even went to Finland? Look here at the hands. Brother Jack was standing right there when it happened--a little boy killed just exactly...?... just exactly the way we wrote down in the fly leaf of our Bible. There he come back to life, the little spirit gone out--the land of the dead; God called it back.
See, a mental power of a man can crack a glass, a sinner is made up to be that... Let God come in there, he can go back and bring the dead back. See, it's His promise. First you find the will of God; then do it.
But say, "It ain't God's will in every..." It is God's will. We done seen it done. I've seen it done about five different times, and I know it's true.
L-82 Now, here's the same thing in an amateur way like Jesus did: speak to the woman. Day before yesterday there was a man come up to my house and stood there, and he said... I started out the gate. I was going to send him over to the office to Brother Mercier and them. He said, "Brother Branham?"
I said, "Yes."
He said, "Could you help me?"
I said, "Well, if you'll go..." Something said, "Take him in the house." Just as soon as he set down, I said, "Don't tell me who you are. I'll tell you." Started off like that, and told him all... The Holy Spirit begin to reveal to me, all of his life.
He said, "That's right. That's right." He said, "Sir, that's right."
I said, "Your... You don't live here; you live in Madison. You've been down at Evansville, Indiana, and got in a bunch of a cult down there, didn't you?"
"Yeah."
"Bible school, he thought it was."
He said, "Mercy goodness, man. How do you know that?" And so when we--he went out, he said, "Say, I don't understand that."
L-83 And I said, "Was you ever in one of my meetings?"
He said, "I never knowed your name till just about five... about twenty-five minutes ago. Some man told me when I was passing through Louisville, to come over here; a man named Mr. Sandy." Said, "I never knowed your name."
I said, "Well, well, that's my ministry."
He said, "If I understand it right, Jesus was talking to His disciples and knowed what was in their heart."
"That's right."
He said, "Then that's God speaking through you to me."
I said, "Boy, you know more about it than a lot of them's followed the meetings for a long time. That's right." He said, "Well, praise God, it's all finished now then." There you are.
Boy just flew in from England: same thing. Now, here it is, begin at the Tabernacle. This is about forty-eight years of it. He's God isn't He, sister?
[Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... elderly person, old, real old lady. It's your mother. She's got something wrong with her ear, and she's got complications too. Isn't that right? If that's right, raise up your hand.
[Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... you got in your hand here? All right, you take that and lay it on her. You believe you're healed now? Let me put hands on you. Father God, I lay hands upon her in the Name of Jesus Christ. May these things come to pass. We ask for God's sake in Jesus' Name.
L-84 [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... You believed that I'd come back so she can come up... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... you had something wrong in the head, like a migraine headache. Right. It run you into a nervous breakdown. Now, you're suffering with weakness. Just seems like it--seem like taking a string and pulling it till all the threads is about broke and that...?... You'll be all right. Inez...
L-85 [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... Setting there praying, lady with her arms folded, got trouble with your lungs. That's right. I kept seeing two women. I wonder where the other one's at. All right, you touched Him. Raise up your hands and say, "I accept my healing, Lord." Go and be well.
[Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... there, too, got ear trouble. If he will just believe with all his heart... Yeah. All right, receive your healing. Go...
[Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... aren't you, sister? Got a bad stomach, haven't you? That's what your nervousness did, made you have a stomach trouble. You say, "Brother Branham, you--you guessed nervousness. By being nervous, you thought I had stomach trouble." Somebody thought that. Wasn't her. Somebody did.
[Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... that I guessed it. Would you like God to heal your sister-in-law too? You would? You believe He'd tell me what's wrong with her? Diabetes. Now, go and believe.
L-86 [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... Messiah moving among us. He's in you out there also.
[Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... your daughter, both suffering with thyroid trouble. If you believe with all your heart, Jesus Christ will make you well. Amen.
[Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... bad fixes, bedridden. I tell you; the thing you need is Christ in your heart. See? You need to be a Christian, accept Christ as your Saviour. That's a lot of confidence in a sinner, to walk up and get the gift like that, to have mercy on her mother. No doubt but what God will. Believe Him right now for your salvation...?... There you are.
L-87 [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... what your trouble is?
[Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... sitting right back there, kind of--with a yellow jacket on. That's it. I seen her appear before me, and I seen that Light hanging here, and then looked down again there. All right, He healed you then, sister, it's all over.
[Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... over your mouth, looking at me, saying, "Praise the Lord," like that. You've got trouble with your mouth and with your face. Isn't that right? If that's right, raise up your hand. All right, Jesus makes you well. Go home and believe it. Isn't He wonderful? He's the Lord...
[Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... Believe He will make it well? Little grandson, got a growth on top of his head. Mrs. Pierson, go, believe with all your heart.
L-88 [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... You are the Lord Jesus. We love You. We know Your Anointing is here. Why, it's just everywhere, Lord. I pray that the people will receive You just now as their Saviour and as their Healer. Grant it, Lord, through Jesus' Name.
Have your heads bowed just a minute.
L-89 ...?... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] Been awhile ago...
[Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... the prayer line. Prayer line's coming on.
[Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]...?... Now, come kneel down here for just a minute, will you? If you believe in the Messiah, believe that Jesus died and rose again, come here and stand right here before me, here at the altar just a moment, and pray. God bless you, sir. Rest of you now, you that want to accept Christ as your Saviour, and... come right on up here now.
[Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]...?... Come, sinner friend. Come, come to Christ now, the only hope, the only chance. The evening Lights are shining. Come, while it's day, while you can come.
[Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... they're all sinking. They're gone. The day is finished; the night's far spent. The evening's far... The day's far spent; night's going on. Even the evening Star is shedding forth its Light. Why, twilight, the danger time... Don't stay in your seat. Come up here, you without Christ, you that wants to know Him as your Saviour. Come up here and kneel down while He's healing the sick people. He heals both soul and body. Pray, you people that's got the Holy Ghost, while these sinners are sobbing here at the altar. Pray, "May God help you."
[Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... have faith... A young lady like you, and nervous, you believe He will heal that nervousness? You've had it all your life. You believe He will make you well? Let me just lay my hands on you. I believe the Holy Ghost is here. I believe the anointing is. O, Jesus, this poor young girl, bound with this devil of oppression. Come out of her, Satan. I adjure thee by the Living God to leave her... You can't keep her any longer. Depart from her. You're going to be well now. Go, believe with all your heart.
[Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] Do you believe that God will heal your heart and make you well? I lay my hands upon my sister in the Name of Jesus Christ for her to be healed. In Jesus' Name I ask it. Amen.
[Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] I lay my hands upon sister in the Name of Jesus Christ. May she be healed. Amen.
L-90 [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... believers in here? Oh, fine. Now. while I'm--while I'm praying for... How many wants to be prayed for? Raise up your hand. All right. Now, why don't you lay your hands on one another, while I'm praying here. Just lay your... You're believers. The Holy... You're--you're just as much a Messiahette as anyone else is if you're a believer. Is that right? "These signs shall follow" what? "Them," t-h-e-m, plural, "that believe." Is that right? "If they lay their--their--their hands on the sick, they shall recover." Is that right? All right, just bow your heads and be praying for one another now, while I'm praying for... [Mark 16:17-18]
L-91 [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... in the church. Where is Brother L.C.? Why, you certainly lost a lot of weight from when I seen you several years ago. I ate at your house one day. I don't--I don't know what you're here for. You know that. But it might help you if I just talk to you a minute. Would it? 'Cause I know you so well, it might help you if I talked to you...?... I knowed you... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... L.C. and I around with that catfish you cooked for me...?... I appreciated it.
Got--got your spirit now. You know something taken place then. I caught your spirit. You've had a lot of trouble. You've been in the hospital or something. You been... See? That's right. You've got complications--just broke down and nervous, and trouble with your ears and then... That's right. Real nervous and broke down. Do you believe I can take it all away by the Name of Jesus Christ? Come here. Thou devil that tries to hold this godly woman, I challenge thee in the Name of Jesus Christ, depart from her. I set her free in the Name of Jesus Christ. It's finished, friend. Go home and be well...?...
L-92 You realize with that cancer you'd die if God doesn't heal you? Do you believe He will make you well? I lay hands upon this woman and challenge this devil in Jesus' Name to come from her. Amen.
[Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] I lay hands upon this woman and challenge this devil. In the Name of Jesus Christ, come out of her. Amen.
That does it. That makes it right.
[Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]...?... awhile ago... Something just happened to you, didn't it? You was standing there, and you got all thrilled about it, didn't you?...?... Take Him back with you. Amen.
[Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... bad. But God's the Healer of it, isn't He? In Jesus Christ Name may it leave her and she be well.
L-93 [Congregation repeats after Brother Branham--Ed.]: Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God. I believe You are the Messiah. I believe You rule in Your Kingdom, which I am a part by my faith in Your finished work. You made us this promise, that, "these signs shall follow them that believe: if they lay their hands on the sick, they shall recover." I am a believer; forgive my unbelief. A believer has their hands on me. I am praying for that believer; that believer is praying for me. I accept my healing on the basis of Your Word. I can feel Him near as Conductor, moving down the Word to make me well.
Now, Satan, I challenge you...?... in Jesus Christ's Name to come out them...?...
Stand to your feet now. Accept your healing. Praise God with all your heart. Glory, hallelujah. Praise be to...?... [Mark 16:17-18]

61-0118 - American Legion Hall, Beaumont, TX (Paragraphs: 80 - 97)
L-81 Watch... Somebody look at these people. There's a little crippled boy setting over here, and two women, and three over here in wheelchairs. Watch their prayer cards now. See? Number 7. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Number 8. Number 8, would you raise up your hand if you can. Way back. Number 9. All right. 10, number 10. 11, that's right. That's the way. 11, 12, 13, 14. All right. 14, is it over there? 15, 15, 16. All right. 17, 18. I missed it. 18, 18. Prayer card 18. Well, that's enough. Let--let them stop right there for a minute. We can start praying for these then. Now, remember, as your prayer card's called, fall right in line. All right.
Now, now... Here sister, no, you--you get... Is it... What number have you got there? Eighteen. Go right back there in the line right there. Just right back there, the boys will put you in the line. Here, right through here. Come through here, lady, around this way. Come up this way.
L-82 Now, how many in here doesn't have a prayer card, and yet you're sick, want God to heal you? All right, raise up your hand. All right. I'm trying to get a idea of where you're at: just about general everywhere. All right. Now, if you don't have a prayer card, I'll tell you what I want you to do. You without a prayer card, you do this: if the Lord begins to heal the people on the platform, then you look up here, and say, "Lord, he told me..."
And let's ask these ministers here. Does the Bible state now that Jesus now (in the Book of Hebrews) is a High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities? Is that right? Well, then, if He's the same High Priest, if you touched Him, how would He act? The same way He did yesterday, if He's the same yesterday, today... Then He...
Now, that doesn't make us Jesus. See? That just makes us His servants. See, we are His vessels that He is working through us. He--He uses men for His--His vessels to work through. Isn't that right?
All right. I want each person to keep in your position, keep real quiet, keep praying. Now, I don't say that it will happen. Now, remember. If I... Let's see, where is it? Brother Jack, help him, help him with something. Well, here, he comes. All right, come...?... [Hebrews 4:15]
L-83 Now, now these people here... Now, each one in the prayer line, I want to look at each one of you. Now, they're all strangers to me. I don't know them. If I'm a stranger to you all, hold up your hands, that is, I don't know you, know nothing about you, or anything. Now, bring this lady here, please. Can you hear me all right? Now, sometimes when that anointing strikes, I--I don't know how loud I'm talking. Can you hear me all right back there? The acoustics... If I was talking like this, could you hear me yet? See?
Now, isn't this a wonderful thing? Here this Bible's got to be found to be the truth or wrong. The promises of God has got to be found to be truth or wrong. Now, here's these people raised their hands that they don't know me and I don't know them. You all have your hands up.
Now, I tell you, if you're the least bit in doubt, just say, "Lord Jesus, that man doesn't know me, and I know he's just a man. But I'm going to touch Your garment, 'cause I haven't got a prayer card. I'm going to touch Your garment. Then You turn him around and speak to me like the woman that touched Your garment. Speak to me, and then that'll--that'll convince me all my life. See? I just ask You to do that if he becomes anointed." Now, would you see Jesus? How would you see Him? As He moves through us. Now, be in prayer.
L-84 Now, I don't... When I say be reverent and quiet, I don't mean... When--when we're standing here (See?), I'm watching. Don't nobody take a picture, 'cause it's a light. Last Sunday, a week ago, this same Pillar of Fire stood in my church for fifteen minutes. Hundreds of people stood there crying, falling on their knees, and everything. Stood right there, fifteen minutes, right before the whole audience. They looked at It.
Brother Gene, you was there, wasn't you? Brother Leo? No, let's see, you were down here. That's right. You was down here in the south. Brother Gene, some of the... Brother Sothmann, he's supposed to be around here somewhere, Brother Fred Sothmann. Where you all at, brethren? Somewhere here. They were there. Yeah, back in the back. Standing there, looked at It for fifteen minutes, standing right there in front of us like that, looking at it.
I trust that It'll show Itself again here at Beaumont for you folks here. Remember, It's that same Light that followed the children of Israel. It's the same One that struck Saul down, come into the prison house. It's Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever. "Sirs, we would see Jesus." [Hebrews 13:8]
L-85 Now, heavenly Father, this is far as human beings can go. We are--we are now confessing our sins, all of our unbelief, and we're asking that You'll come with us tonight, that these words and promises... Now, You promised, "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of man"; and I've tried to illustrate that to them tonight, Father, that we are Gentiles. This was when You were coming for the Gentile Bride, the end of the age of the Gentiles.
I told them, and showed out of the Bible tonight, how You proved Yourself to be the people's Messiah to the Jews, the Messiah to the Samaritan. Now, Lord, show the same Messiah sign tonight that You're not dead but a living, and You're with Your people to the Gentiles. By being dead in Christ we are Abraham's seed, Lord, and are heirs with them in the promise.
Let the Holy Spirit come tonight and take our--our beings, this whole church, in possession. Drive all unbelief from among us. And let the Scripture that was quoted tonight, "Sirs, we would see Jesus," then they got their heart's desire. May we find the same thing tonight, because it's written, "Ask, and you shall receive." We commit it to You in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen. [Luke 17:26-30], [John 12:21]
L-86 Now, we don't know these people. I don't know this lady. You look, I suppose, to be quite a bit older, maybe, than I. And I certainly never come here to deceive this poor gray-headed woman. I got a mother at home praying tonight, to who I'm thankful for. No doubt this is somebody's mother.
Now, we meet just exactly like Saint John 4. Here's a woman. You don't know me; I don't know you. Now, we raised our hands. I--I don't know you, and you don't know me. Now, here we are.
Now, when Jesus met a woman that He'd never saw before, at the well of the Samaritan city, public well (it's in a little panoramic, something like this), and they met for the first time. And He spoke to her a few minutes till He found what her trouble was and then told her what her trouble was. And then when He told her her trouble, she said, "Sir, I--I perceive that You're a prophet." She said, "We know that when Messiah cometh, He will tell us these things. But Who are You?"
He said, "I'm He."
She went back and testified and told everybody. "This Man told me my trouble. Isn't that the sign of the Messiah?"
Now, would it be sign of Messiah to you? If He come tonight and... Here I'm a man; you're a woman; we met our first time. If He'd come, tell me your trouble, or something about you that you know I don't know, then if--to make it infallible--if He can tell you something that you have done, something back there what you have done or have been... If He knows what you have been or done, well, why, He certainly can know what you will be...?... Is that right? [John 4:19, 25, 29]
L-87 For instance, if like a gift of healing, no doubt but what that gift's all over the building tonight, many gifts of healing. Now, if I brought you up here, laid hands on you, and said, "Hallelujah. Praise God." Some of our brothers have gifts of healing. They'd say, "You're going to be well. Praise God. Go on." That--that's right. I could believe that. Sure. I believe each of them brothers has gifts of healing. I think God will make them answer for the way they use it a lot of times, but I... you know, to make money and things like that. But I--but I believe that it's gifts of God. I believe if they'd be more reverent with them, gifts would be greater. It will be.
But I believe if a man come told you he had a gift of healing and he was a brother in Christ, I don't care what church he belonged to, I'd still say he was a man of God. If he laid his hands on you and said, "I lay my hands on you. You go and you'll get well," I believe that. Sure. But--but you might have just a little bit of doubt whether you was going to get well or not, because you just have to take his word for it.
L-88 But now, if Christ comes and covers even all that, goes back yonder and talks to you about it, tells you something back there, comes up here and tells you what's wrong with you, and what you've done, then you know that's got to be some kind of a power, hasn't it? Because we've raised our hands before this Bible, and God, and this audience, we don't know one another.
But if He will reveal to me something that's wrong with you, something that you've done, something that you ought not have done, or something you're trying to do, or fixing to do... And you might be standing here for somebody else, might be financial trouble, might be domestic trouble. I don't know. I--I just... You're just a woman standing there. Does the audience understand that? Outside, do you understand that?
Now, if Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever, if she's needing anything, He's already provided it for her. Only thing He can do is just make Hisself known. Now, if He was standing here with this suit on that He gave me, He could do no more than what He's doing right now. You'd have to believe that He did it for you, 'cause it's a finished work. Now, you all believe that? Now, if He will do that for this woman, how many will accept it out there and believe?
Now, in the Name of Jesus Christ, I take every soul in here under my control for the Kingdom of God's sake. [Hebrews 13:8]
L-89 You're suffering with a hernia. That's right. If that's right, raise up your hand. You believe now? I caught that. Don't think that. Now, you thought I guessed that. I didn't. Don't think that. Now, you just ruin the meeting. You've got to believe. It come from somewhere. See? Don't think that. She's a fine person. She's a Christian, got a good spirit, not a hitchhiker. You're--you're--you're a Christian, that's right, because I feel your... You could be a sinner. "Behold an Israelite in whom there is no guile," See? Your spirit proves that you're a Christian.
Yes, you have a hernia; you have an inward goiter; you have gallbladder trouble; and you have heart trouble. That's THUS SAITH THE LORD. If that's right, raise up your hand. Do you believe now? You believe God knows who you are? You believe He could tell me who you are? Would it be the same thing He told Peter? Miss Roundtree, go home and believe with all your heart, and you'll be well. [John 1:47]
L-90 Now, you believe? Believe with all your heart. Now, it started from the audience, to you people out there. Be real reverent; just keep praying. Now, the lady standing before me is a stranger. She's younger than I am. Another scene, a woman or a man meets together. I never seen her in my life, but God knows her. And if we are strangers to each other, lady... Are we? We are strangers. Just be real reverent now.
Now, I've never seen her, I don't know her. Then if the Holy Spirit will reveal to me something about her, let her be the judge whether it's right or not. She's here for a spiritual problem: she got spiritual troubles. You're praying for a child, too, aren't you? A little girl with bad eyes--bad eyes, not here. That's right. You got a sister-in-law in the hospital. You believe God can tell me what's wrong with her? She's got pneumonia. You believe with all your heart. Now, go, and have faith in God, and believe she's...?... [Congregation rejoices--Ed.]
L-91 You believe with all your heart, all your heart that Jesus Christ the Son of God lives and reigns? Now, you must believe with all your heart. Now, does--would--does that satisfy your desire, "Sirs, we would see Jesus?" Now, how could I...? Now, you'll have to say some kind of power is doing it. Now, if you want to call it a devil power, all right, you go ahead and get that reward. See? But if you believe it's Jesus Christ just using His church according... I covered it completely with the Bible, that it's God's promise. Is that right, Reverend... God's promise. See, listen.
The trouble with the Pentecostal people today (too many of us), we've seen God move so much till it--it becomes common to us. [John 12:21]
L-92 Is this the next person? I'm not beside myself, but sometimes the Spirit's pulling all through the audience. So I do not know you. You do not know me. We're strangers one to another. If the Holy Spirit can reveal to me something that--that you know whether it's truth or not, you--you can witness that--whether it's truth or not.
You have a weakness, a nervous trouble. You've been in the hospital, and you're suffering from weakness from that operation. And it was cancer, and they took a lot of your organs out, part of the intestines. That's THUS SAITH THE LORD. Do you believe with all your heart? Now, look. You know that Something here knows you, that that anointing is upon me now and upon you; let me lay hands on you. Lord Jesus, I ask for her healing in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen. Go now. Don't doubt. Go believing with all your heart. Have faith in God. You believe with all your heart? Have faith now. Start believing.
L-93 How do you do, sister? You and I are strangers to one another too. I've never seen you; you never seen me, so this is our first time meeting. Born miles apart, years apart, the first time we--the first time we've met. Just have faith now. Just keep believing. Don't doubt.
You touched Him. Your neck trouble will leave you and you'll be all right. Believe with all your heart, setting there, wiped your eyes. Believe with all your heart; God will make you well. What did she touch? She's thirty feet from me. She touched Something. She touched the High Priest.
The lady setting next to you there has got trouble with her eyes. She's suffering with eye trouble too. She believe with all of her heart, she can be healed too. Amen. Have faith and don't doubt.
You suffer with heart trouble. You got leakage of the heart. You believe that God will heal you of it? Do you believe me as God's prophet, or His servant? That name stumbles people sometimes. You believe it? Trying to get rid of a habit too, aren't you? Dipping snuff. You--you want to give it up now? I charge you, devil, in the Name of Jesus Christ that you depart from this woman. Let her alone in the Name of Jesus Christ. Go believing. Don't doubt. Believe with all your heart.
L-94 How do you do? We are strangers to one another. God knows us both. Is that right? (Just keeps pulling in that audience out there.) I do not know you. We're strangers to one another. You're a lot younger than I am. We've been born years apart, miles apart, and our first time meeting.
Now, this could just go on through the night, but I want you to get your faith fixed with God. If it'll happen to this woman, will all of you believe with all your heart? Let her be the judge. I was going to say, "If anybody here knows her," but she's not from this city. She comes from somewhere else. That's right. But you suffer with a nervous, lung trouble, female trouble. That's right. Miss Olds, do you want to go back home and be well? Go on your road back and be well in the Name of Jesus Christ.
Believe with all your heart. You believe? Let's just worship Him and give glory to God...?... Father God, we...?... [Congregation worship--Ed.] We praise You because of God blessing the people, in Jesus' Name.
We pray that You'll anoint the people, Lord, that they might know You to be the true and living God. We thank Thee in Jesus' Name. Amen.
L-95 All right. What if I told you you were healed setting there in the chair? Would you believe me? All right. Go ahead on out, and your heart won't bother you no more.
You have the same thing. Do you believe God will heal your heart, and make you well too? If thou... If you can believe with all your heart, then go on your road, say, "Thank You, Lord Jesus," and believe with all your heart.
All right. Go eat your supper now. Your stomach trouble left you, so keep a going right along.
You believe with all your heart...?... No matter--no matter what's wrong with you, just have faith in God.
Got a nervous stomach, but God will make you well if you'll believe it. Will you believe with all your heart? Go on your road and say, "Thank you, Lord."
You'll never be crippled with arthritis if you ask God to make you well. Go on and God bless you.
L-96 You believe with all your heart, everyone? God still remains... How about you people out there without prayer cards? You believe? God is God, isn't He? What do you say over there, fellow? You want to give up them cigarettes and quit smoking? Raise up your hand and praise God. They won't bother you no more.
Setting right there next to him, there's a woman on this side, looking at me, with...?... You believe God will heal you of that, lady? Do you believe with all your heart. Raise up your hand and say, "I accept it." All right, there you are. What did she touch? What did they touch? They touched the Master, not me.
Some of the rest of you, you want to believe? This lady setting right here with an allergy, you believe that God will make you well, sister? All right, raise up your hand. Be made well.
The lady setting there looking at me here with this big purple hat on, suffering back there with hemorrhoids, you believe that God will make you well, lady? Raise up on your feet if that's right. Your husband setting right next to you there suffers with mental oppression. Raise up to your feet, brother, and accept your healing. God will make you well. Do you believe, every one of you?
L-97 "Sirs, we would see Jesus." Do you see what I mean? Those were people without prayer cards. He's here to heal, isn't He? Now, if you believe God's Word to be true, Mark 16 said this... How many of you is believers, raise up your hands now. Jesus said, "These signs shall follow them that believe." Is that right? Did He say it? Well, if you're believers, lay your hands on one another. Put your hands on one another.
This is the time for the devil to be defeated right here. Every person can be healed. Lay your hands on one another. Pray for the fellow you got your hands on. You here in the prayer line lay your hands over on one another. Believe with all your heart. Now, every one, every one, right while the Holy Spirit's moving in the building now, listen to me. If I've told you the truth here, and God's confirmed I'm telling you the truth, you're every one healed. You've been healed since Jesus died for your healing.
Now, lay your hands on one another. Don't you pray for yourself, but pray for the one you've got your hands on. Put your hands on one another now. Now, you say this prayer after me. "Lord, I believe. I believe this person I lay my hands on shall be healed. O Lord God, Creator of heavens and earth, Author of Everlasting Life, Giver of every good gift...
Satan, I rebuke you. Come out of them in the Name of Jesus Christ....?... Hallelujah. [John 12:21], [Mark 16:17]

61-0119E - American Legion Hall, Beaumont, TX (Paragraphs: 79 - 99)
L-80 As I said this morning, if the first branch of the vine brought forth a Pentecostal church, every real branch out of that vine will bring forth another Pentecostal church. But we got a lot of grafted branches, and they bring forth after their kind. We got Methodist branch grafted into it, Baptist branch, Pentecostal branch, every other kind of branch. It bears its own fruit.
You can take a orange tree and put a grapefruit in it. It'll live off the life of that tree, but it'll bear grapefruit. Put a lemon in there, it'll bear lemon, not an orange, yet it's living off of orange life. See, any citrus fruit...
Any church professing to be Christian thrives off of the glory and praises of Christ. But it can't bear the fruit. It won't bear the Life of Christ until Christ puts forth that branch Himself. Then it'll--it'll write another Book of Acts behind it (that's right), because it is the acts of the Holy Spirit in the church. See? That's the way it is tonight, Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Let us pray now, and everybody get real quiet. Don't move. Set still in your chairs, or your seats, pew. Wherever it is, just sit real still for a while. Be reverent. [Hebrews 13:8]
L-81 Father, this is a great statement, but here tonight over just a hundred, a few people here setting here; I've asked You to come forward, whether there be tens of thousands, yes, hundreds of thousands. You've never failed us yet.
My days are growing dim now, Lord. I'm... Someday I'm going to have to close this Bible for Its last time. If I should go tonight, You've proved the testimony to be true. Since a little lad I've told them that I saw a Light. It was amber, like a Pillar. You've let science all around the world take that picture and examine it. Many times have You come, and now it's in Kodachrome color. You let it be taken a few weeks ago in Germany, Switzerland, around the world, cameras of the nation. If I die, the mechanical camera speaks that I've told them the truth. Your very Presence shows that it was the truth. Your Bible claims that it's the truth. Father, may people believe it as truth, and receive Thee tonight as their Healer, as their Saviour, as their King, as their Lord: Lordship to govern, to rule in their lives. Grant it, Lord.
L-82 Now, with myself, and this church, I commit all into Your hands, that You might do something tonight to show these people that You're still the God-prophet. You're still God. You just... They... You died to take away sin, but You rose up the third day. You said, "I have power to lay My life down, and I have power to take it up. No one took it from You, and no one raised it up." You laid Your Ownself down, raised Your Ownself up.
The Bible said God raised Him up, and it's true. Father, You're alive forevermore, living in the hearts of Your people, with the promise, "The works that I do shall they do also." I'm quoting this, Lord, because You're true to Your Word. And You said as it was in the days of Sodom, it'll be that way just at the coming of the Son of man.
And we remember, when those signs were performed in Sodom, it was just a short time until the fire fell and burned Sodom. We are looking for it any time, Lord. We see the sign appearing. We see the world in the Sodom condition, the promises of God made manifest. Will You do it once more tonight, Lord, for the honor and glory of Him Who taught the Word? I ask in Jesus Christ's Name, for God's glory. Amen. [Revelation 1:18], [John 14:12], [Luke 17:26]
L-83 Now, no matter what goes on, be reverent. I don't mean that you can't praise God, but you approach God quietly, sanely, wonderfully. And then, when you see God do something, sure, He wants you to worship Him. But come reverently.
Now, when you people come in the line, coming here, or out there, be on the alert. I'm watching. I have no control of It. I do not control It; It controls me. I can only speak what It tells me. I can only speak in where It's at. I watch It. Wherever It is, there I watch It, and see what It does.
L-84 Now, last night the first person we had on the platform, I believe was a woman. Is that right? Is this the man? All right. The first one tonight's a man. Now, we found last night, when a woman came to the Lord Jesus, she went to the well to get some water. Jesus talked to her a little while, and--and directly He found her trouble. And He said, "Go, get your husband."
She said, "I don't have no husband."
Said, "That's right. You've had five. And the one you're living with now is not yours."
She said, "Sir, I perceive You're a prophet." [John 4:7, 16-19]
L-85 Now, the great rabbis and teachers and church men said, "He's a devil." Did you know the devil was the one that confessed Him to be the Son of God, and the preachers confessed that He was a devil? That was one time that the devils was right.
Look at Paul and Silas coming down, that little fortuneteller setting up there. And that little fortuneteller said, "These are men of God that tell us the way of Life."
The preachers said, "They're roustabouts. They turn the world upside down. They're impostors." See?
See, that devil knowed more about God than they did. That's right. Now, but it's not so with my brethren in these days. These are men... I was thinking about preachers here. They wouldn't be setting here if they believed that. They'd be gone. They're setting here because they believe It; they've preached of It. They believed It. They've stood on the street corners. They cried; they begged. Thank God we're living to see the days that He's fulfilling His promise. Your pastors, you ought to be proud of them. I am, and I know He is too--men of God. [Matthew 12:24]
L-86 Now, this man standing before me, I do not know the man. He's a lot younger than I. I've never seen him in my life, as I know of. But he's standing here for some purpose. Now, it might be that he may be a married man, having domestic troubles in his home. He may be sick. He may be standing for someone else, may be financial need. I don't know what he's here for. I have no idea. I've never seen him in my life, but he's standing there.
Now, what if he is sick? Well, if he's sick, I couldn't heal him. But the only... If Jesus was standing here, He couldn't heal him. How many knows that? He's already done it. See? But the only thing Jesus could do would be to let him know that He was still Jesus that made the promise (Is that right?), that done the work.
So then, if the man believed it, he'd be healed. If it was finance trouble, he'd know that God was interested in his case because it appeared before Him, not a man, but God. Now, if the Holy Spirit... This man raised his hand that I didn't know him. And he... I don't know him, and he don't know me. If the Holy Spirit will do something for him now...
Now, if I walked over and say, "Mister, are you sick?" he'd say, "Yes, sir, I am."
"God sent me with a gift of healing. You believe that?"
"Yes, sir, I do."
Put my hands on him, "Go, get well in Jesus' Name." I believe he'd get well. Sure. I believe God has gifts all working all over the church everywhere. I do that.
I believe that the gifts of healing's in the church. Don't have to be a preacher even. Just be a lay member, anybody, feels led to go pray for somebody, go do it. That's a gift of healing working in you.
L-87 But now, he'd--he'd have somewhat to doubt that. But what if the Holy Spirit comes and tells him something that he has been, something that he ought not have done, or something that he did do, or something that he ought to have done, and did not? Tell him something that's wrong with him, or tell him what has been. If He knows what has been, He surely know what will be then. Isn't that right?
Now, if He will do such a thing, everyone here will have to know it comes from a power. Would you believe it to be the promise that I've read you tonight and preached to you out of the Bible, that It is Jesus Christ, the Son of God?
All right. Now, just as reverent as you can be, 'cause, you see... Everyone be just as reverent. Don't move, 'cause I catch your spirit. You see? And I--I want to know... Just be in sincere prayer.
L-88 Now, this infallible, as God is infallible... I have no way of knowing this man. He come down here, and they give out prayer cards. They come here and mixed up a big bunch of prayer cards, and begin to give them out. That shows the boy giving them out couldn't say, "If you'll give me five dollars I'll put you in the line." They don't know, because they mix up the cards right before your face. Just give you whatever you want.
One might get number 1, the other one get number 15, the other get 95. And then, then when they come, nobody knows where we're even going to call from, till I get here. Then everywhere the Lord leads me, I just call from there. Sometimes call a few from here, and some from back here, some from over here. How many's seen that done--around, and around, around, everywhere. So here we're standing here, and you out there without your card...
L-89 Now, sir, I just want to speak to you a moment. 'Course standing there, heart crying out, "Jesus," raise up your hand, 'course would give me to know that you are a Christian. Or you could just be impersonating that (You see?), just acting like you was. If it--if he is, watch what happens. Now, they've slipped in the line lot of times. They've packed them out and everything else.
So if the Lord God will tell me something about you (this waiting audience), something that you're here for, what's your reason standing here on the platform, you could be the judge whether it was right or not. Would you? You'd know whether it was right. And if it is right, you'll be willing to say it's right. If it's wrong, say it's wrong. That's all.
You come for me to pray for you for a condition of your body, and that condition is a growth. It's on your side. Do you believe it? Now, he seems to have a good contact of God just now, that lets a critic or something that might perhaps be standing by, might know that they just didn't guess it.
Now, right now, I do not know what I told him. The only way I know is this recorder setting here. Then the tape comes back. Next day they'll play it to me. It's like a dream. Now, that wasn't me. I don't know nothing about the man (See?), no more than this microphone knows how to speak. Has to be something alive speaking in it. I don't know the man, so it has to be God speaking in.
L-90 Now, just take my time... If I just keep one here awhile, just so that you'll know (See?), that ought to be sufficient for all. Now, just a moment, sir. I just want to get in contact with your spirit. That's the same thing our Lord did when He talked to the woman at the well, said, "Bring Me a drink," see. He was only trying to con... The Father sent Him up there.
He had need go by Samaria, but when He got there, the woman come out. So He had to talk to her, to contact her spirit. That's the same thing I'm doing right now. Yes, I see it. It's a growth in your right side. You got one on your arm too. That's right. Only three people in the world knew about it, that was him and his sister. But there's One above knowed about it.
Now, let's talk to Him a minute. You've been praying for someone else too: a child, tonsil trouble, setting right out there. It's going to be well...?... You believe? Do you believe God knows who you are? Mr. Morrison, Jack, go home and be well.
"If thou canst believe, all things are possible to them that believe." [John 4:4, 7], [Mark 9:23]
L-91 Now, if I didn't say one word to you and just prayed for you, you believe there's anointing here at the platform? Would you believe that? What if I told you you were healed 'fore you come up there, would you believe it? Well, what do you think about your grandson? You think he'd get well too? All right. Go ahead and believe it. Put that handkerchief on him. You believe? Have faith.
You're just a child to me, young woman. I don't know you, but here's the same picture like in Saint John the 4th chapter: a woman and a man. Lovely young woman stands here, looks as healthy as she can be. I don't know nothing about her, never seen her in my life. We're strangers to one another, aren't we, lady? Certainly are.
If God is the Word of God, which is Christ made flesh, and if He can be made real in our flesh, which He sanctified with His own Blood, sending in His Holy Spirit to tabernacle... God was in Christ. God come down and built His--made a tent like man. He--He changed His cast and become man, God did, that He might sanctify a church that He could live in; and for two thousand years worked His miracles, and proved that He was the same God living in His people: God tabernacling in man.
If God will reveal to me by His Spirit what's your trouble, will you believe me to be His prophet, or His servant? You believe that? Would you accept it to be from God? Then you'll embrace that baby that you want, that you're praying for. Go, believe it. I give you that child in the Name of Jesus Christ. Go home, receive it. Don't doubt. You've wanted that for some time. All right. Go, believing.
If thou canst believe. You believe? [Acts 19:12]
L-92 All right, lady. I do not know you. Just a moment. You're... It's starting in the building now. There It moved out, and left the platform, went into the building. Somebody touched Him, as certain as I'm standing here.
There's a younger woman standing here. I can't locate her. I see her: got neck trouble, arthritis of the spine. Do you believe with all your heart? Jesus Christ will make you well. Accept it; believe it, the little lady setting here with glasses on, dark hair. Stand up. I give you your healing in the Name of Jesus Christ.
What did she touch? Ask the lady. I don't know you, do I, lady? I do not know you, do I? No. If I don't know you, raise up your hand, shake your hand. If that was your trouble, what He told you, shake your hand. Now, you're healed.
What did she touch? She's thirty feet from me. She touched the High Priest, and He acted just like He did at the beginning. Now, that's the same Jesus, the same yesterday, today, and forever. Have faith. Don't doubt. [Hebrews 13:8]
L-93 Some of the rest of you, I challenge your faith to believe, not me; believe the Word of God. Believe I've told you the truth. I challenge your faith to--to believe that. Right behind her, you did, didn't you, lady? Setting right behind her there, setting there with high blood pressure, stand up on your feet. If that's true, raise up your hand. If I don't know you, raise up your other hand. I give you your healing in the Name of Jesus Christ. You touched Him. He sure knows about you. Go home and be well. Have faith in God. Don't doubt. You believe with all your heart?
Something strange about her... I don't know you; God does know you. You believe God will heal you and make you well? You're not from here. You're from a place called Huntington. Your name's Mrs. Day. You're praying for a brother, a brother's in Galveston in a hospital, and he's a addict. Go, believe. Don't doubt. Jesus Christ makes you free. In the Name of Jesus Christ. Have faith in God. You believe?
L-94 What if I didn't say nothing to you, just laid hands on you, would you believe, lady? Come here. Receive your healing in the Name of Jesus Christ. Go, believing.
What if I told you that diabetes would be gone, would you believe it? Go, believe. Don't doubt.
When you were setting right down here awhile ago (See?), I seen you suffering with heart trouble. You also have something wrong with your back. Now, go believing, and you'll get well. If you believe with all your heart.
Come, young lady. You believe me to be His prophet? You're a young lady, but you have a female trouble, a dripping. It's a abscessed ovary. Don't doubt, believe. Go, and it'll never happen no more. You can be made well. Believe with all your heart.
You believe with all your heart? See, if you just believe now, it's just perfectly the Holy Spirit working.
What if I just laid hands on you, would you think you'd get well? Come. In the Name of Jesus Christ may she be healed. Amen.
Come, believing. If I didn't say one word to you, would you believe if I laid hands on you, you'd get well? Well, come. And that diabe... Well, go ahead. Diabetes will be all right. You'll get well. Go, believe with all your heart.
L-95 You believe with all your heart everybody? Believe now. Now, just look. Now, what did He say? You know there's some sort of anointing here somewhere that knows you. You believe that?
A little lady setting up praying, shaking her head with heart trouble. Quit, stop--stop fearing. Believe with all your heart, going to get well anyhow. God's going to make you well.
That lady setting out there praying for her unsaved son. Believe with all your heart. God will take care of it for you. I don't know you, do I, lady? Don't know you at all, but that's what you was praying about. How did I know what you was praying about? The God that hears prayer can answer prayer. Amen.
You believe with all your heart? Have faith. Now, be reverent.
Come, let's lay hands on you now, while the anointing of the Holy Spirit's here. In the Name of the Lord Jesus, may she be healed. Amen. Go, believing.
You know, really it's your nervousness that did it, made your stomach like that. Now, you just raise tonight and say, "I'm finished with it. I believe God," and then go eat your supper. You'll be all right. Go believe. In the Name of the Lord Jesus.
L-96 Someone might say, "You're... if you're old, your heart's weak anyhow." But it isn't. You've got a nervous heart. You've had it a long time. Go, believe with all your heart, and it'll get well, and you'll go home, be well...?... with all your heart.
You love the Lord? Something's happened, but I can't find it. It's just... Everything's becoming a blur to me now. See? How many knows that visions do you that way? Daniel saw one, was troubled at his head for many days. How many knows that? See? Sure. One woman touched the hem of the garment of the Master, and He said, "Virtue's gone from me."
All right, sister, come believing now. You'll never be crippled with it. In the Name of Jesus Christ, may she be healed. Believe with all your heart.
Do you believe with all your heart, everybody? What could happen right now. Anything could take place. Surely you're aware that something's here. The God that you serve is right with you now.
I see a lady setting here with her head up. She's praying. That Light's hanging right over her. I'm just afraid she won't catch it. She's got bowel trouble and back trouble. O God, hope she, Mrs. Dickland, raise up and accept your healing. All right. God bless you, lady with the red sweater on is the one.
Right over here on the end of the row, there's a man and woman setting there. Woman's had a lot of trouble. She's had about a dozen operations, got a liver trouble. Her husband has artery trouble. Mr. and Mrs. Mane, believe with all your heart and go home and be healed. Jesus Christ make you well. [Matthew 9:20], [Mark 4:30]
L-97 I challenge you to look this way and believe it. I ask you to believe it. Hallelujah. How many believes with all your heart? Oh, sinner friend, would you like to receive this Jesus? You that raised your hands you were sinners, come here just a minute. Let me lay hands on you, will you? Come right down here now, sinner friend. Come here. I invite you to Christ. Come. Let's lay hands on you. If God knows your heart, He wants you to be forgiven of your sins.
Come right now around the altar here, will you? Every sinner in the building that wants to receive Jesus as their Saviour, come right down now, every one, right while the Holy Spirit is anointing. Move right down. That's right.
Come every soul of sin oppressed, there's mercy with the Lord. Won't you come? Come right around. That's just fine. Come on, every sinner that doesn't know God. You want to be remembered now in prayer and want God to save your soul.
While He's here present... The Holy Spirit stopped me just then, said, "Call. I've got children waiting out there." The same God that can be infallibly talking, can't He say the same thing? Now is the hour. Now is the time. Move out, every one that wants to find Christ as Saviour, come around the altar here just a moment. Will you do it?
Come every soul by sin oppressed,
There's mercy with the Lord,
And He will surely give you rest,
By trusting in His Word.
Only trust Him...
L-98 He knows you. Come now, will you? Come trust Him. You want to be like that mother deer? You want a real experience with God? Come to One. Come to the Lord Jesus, Who can give you that experience.
Church member, have you been flusterated? Come now. Come, church member.
... He will save you now.
Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Catholic, Pentecostal, that's not sure of your experience, will you come?
We're not asking you to join any church. We're just asking you to come here and stand for a word of prayer. You wanted to see something real. What's any more real than Jesus Christ raised from the dead in a wicked and adulterous generation, showing Himself that He's raised from the dead; like Jonah, come out of the belly of the whale. He's alive forevermore. Won't you come now, while we sing it again? [Revelation 1:18]

Only trust Him, only trust him,
Only trust Him now; (Go back...?...)
He will save you, He will save you,
He will save you now. (A Presbyterian brother...)
Only trust Him...
L-99 Every man or woman that hasn't got the Holy Ghost, let them stand to their feet now, those that want the Holy Ghost.
Oh, He will save you, He will save you,
He will save you now.
I want to ask the minister brothers here on the platform if they can, and can get down around these penitent sinners here, I want you to go down. We want to lay hands on them, pray with them, take them out, invite them to your churches wherever they are, may they be members. Look, friends, you that's standing here, there's only one thing... Let me show you what's happened.
Jesus said, "No man can come to Me except My Father draws him." Then God brought you here. He never brought you here in vain. You rose up from your seat and come. That's all you can do to make a confession. "He that will confess Me before men, him will I confess before My Father and the holy Angels." That's what He promised. "He that believeth in Me, though he were dead yet shall he live. Whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die." I ask you now as we bow our heads for prayer...
How many in here now that is sick and afflicted yet? Raise your hands. Now, you lay your hands over on one another. Put your... [John 6:40, 44], [Luke 12:8], [John 11:25]
