Je N'ai Point Été Désobéissant À La Vision Céleste
E-1 Thank you, Brother...?...
That's the way I love you too. [How
many loves Brother Branham, let's see your hands?--Ed.] Oh, thank you much, and
it's mutual I'm sure between us all.
Shall we bow our heads now while we talk to Him Who we all love, our
Lord Jesus.
Our heavenly Father, we're very thankful to Thee this evening, for the
love of Thy Son Jesus that's shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy
Spirit. His Presence already has met us here and we're so happy. And
we're looking forward to Him tonight, that He will just make us so full
of His joy tonight, that we'll lose sight of all of the things that's
wrong. Grant tonight, that if there be sinners in the building, that
they will not go over the threshold this building, till first giving
their hearts to Thee for service.
Bless, Lord, those who are suffering bodily. O God, there's many here
that our beloved physicians of this earth have tried so hard, working
day and night to try to save their life, but seemingly, that the enemy
is determined to take their life. And they're here tonight, Lord,
knowing this is their last resource to results--resort to is to Thee. O
Father, I'm sure, with Divine faith, You will not disappoint anyone. We
pray that everyone will be healed tonight. Father, I pray Thee, that
this will be the breaking forth of the revival, that the people here
has long days ago sowed the seed.
E-2 And I pray, Father, also,
that there'll be a great union, a revival where all Thy people shall
come together in heavenly places. And may the things that's been placed
years ago by Your holy prophets, may it come to pass here. I pray,
Father, that You'll hear the voice of Thy servant. Bless all that's
here tonight, all the Christians.
And, Father, we thank Thee for the deacons, for the coworkers, for all
that's gathered tonight, may we say when we leave, "Did not our hearts
burn within us because the Presence of the Son of God."
We thank You for Your great power that just healed a Ethiopian girl
laying there just a few moments ago suffering beyond measure. Passing
by, saying, "Just lay your hands here, Brother Branham." And
immediately, Lord, You healed her, and now she's rejoicing, once
suffering and now free. How we thank Thee.
And now, Lord, I pray that that'll be the experience of many, many
others in the building tonight, for we ask it for God's glory in the
Name of His holy Son, Jesus. Amen. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
E-3 ... fame went throughout all Syria: and
they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers
diseases... torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and
those which were lunatick, and those which had palsy, and he healed
them.
He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. Amen. Now, this second
stay here in the city of Zion, has just brought me to know you more and
to think more of you; and I apprec... and want to thank you for
everything that you have done. You've been so kind, lending your
support for the service, and I thank you each and all.
E-4 Now, tomorrow morning, the
Lord willing, I have to go to my home, and then begin in Fort Wayne
right away. Then down into Jonesboro, Arkansas, then to Shreveport,
Louisiana, then to Dallas, and back up across the waters here to Flint,
Michigan, and then from Flint, I go to Tacoma, to Bellingham. And then
from Bellingham, we go into Canada, and across Canada, and then over
the seas to over in Finland and the Scandinavian countries.
And I certainly, with a sincere heart, I say this: that I covet the
prayers of you people here. For it was your prayers that turned me from
St. Louis to come back. And God hears your prayers. And I wonder if you
all will just promise me you'll pray for me, to hold up and be at my
best for the service for the Lord Jesus. Will you promise me? [Congregation
says, "Amen!"--Ed.]
Thank you. And I shall rely on that, and I will be praying for you. And
I trust that the great revival, that you've looked forward to so long
will soon come to your city.
E-5 Just recently, this
afternoon, one of the brothers that's on the platform now, handed me a
letter from a lady, said... A very saintly looking, motherly lady,
aged, was standing in the hotel lobby, said, "Give this personally to
Brother Branham." She was acquainted, of your--our great renowned
brother that's--that's sleeping tonight, no, not sleeping (his body
is); his soul's with Jesus: Doctor Alexander Dowie. "And forty years
before... When he died, he prophesied," she said.
He said, "It'll be forty years after my death, that this city shall go
on the rock, but after that forty years there'll come a revival,
that'll be more glorious than it was in the first place." And I have
the writings here in--in just in part that I might read there. It's
kinda... "Doctor Dowie prophesied that some forty years after his
death, that the churches would be restored in more power and glory than
they were in--in the former."
"He said that in the meantime the churches, and the church and the town
would go to the rock, and the glorious truths would be trampled in the
dust and spoke that; but after forty years, he said, that there would
come a revival that would make the city more glorious than at ever."
E-6 Now, I believe the revival
spirit is in the city now. And dear friends, I'm leaving you, and I
don't know when I can get back. I hope to come someday again to you.
But I hope that I hear this: I trust to God, that an old fashion
revival has come into your city. It's on right now; if you'll just keep
it going. I pray that your--your founders here, and your pastors will
be one heart and one accord, and set an old fashion revival here that
people will come from the east and the west. They come into Zion again
for--for the glorious Gospel of Christ.
I believe we are living in the latter time. Now, I...?... do not want
any of you go away and say that Brother Branham said that--that Jesus
would be here in a certain amount of time. I do not know. But I
believe, as far as I know the Scriptures, that something's got to
happen soon. The world's in a terrible condition.
E-7 And I was just thinking a
few moments ago upon the subject of science. And I, just thinking of
how that science, how they are taking the natural man and how he's went
into the research from the fall of the natural and what he has done.
And how little the spiritual man has progressed in the Kingdom of God.
And I was thinking that the natural man went out at the unseen of his
eye and pulled an atom down out of the sky, and split that atom in two
that destroys human life. And if the natural man that knows nothing of
God and cannot know nothing of God except he be converted, then his
soul becomes alive with the supernatural... If he could do that in the
natural realm, what ought the man of God to be doing? My, my. Friends
the church is so far behind. Let's pray, my God to move His church up.
They--the natural man with the natural resource is getting greater
results than people are that calls themself Christian. Let's press into
the unseen. The blessings are yours; they're for you.
E-8 Now, in these meetings I do
not wish to--that anyone would miss--be misinformed. I do not take--try
to take the place of a medical doctor. This is not Mayo Clinic. This is
the house of prayer. When medical doctors, God put them here; they're
doing a good job. But medical doctors does not claim to heal you,
friend. They claim to assist nature with operations, and surgeries, and
with medical remedies which is an aid to nature. But nature has to do
the healing, and nature is God. God is nature.
Now, therefore, we salute the doctor for his--how progressive he is,
and how he has broke out into them realms and finding things to aid
humanity.
But now the time has come until seemingly many things, the sickness is
heaping on every side. And I wish to make this statement also: that
these things that I claim of praying for the sick, I do not claim to do
one thing myself. I have no power within myself to do anything; I'm
just a man, unlearned, uneducated, but I am sure that my testimony is
right. That truly a supernatural Being came to me and made these
statements, and I have not been disobedient to the heavenly vision.
E-9 I tell you to the best of
my knowledge. And anyone that ought to know that a man that's as
unequipped and uneducated, I have nothing I could present to the
people. No education, I'm not a preacher; I have not even a personality
to give to the people. And to see that since it's been spoke of, that
it's swayed out into every nation under the heavens. Will be three
years, the seventh of May. Therefore, it shows that there's some
supernatural power moving with that works. And each night, I believe if
the person just did not want to be critical, would see that there is
something besides human effort taking place at the platform.
And I leave that entirely to the audience to judge. Now, if you do not
understand those things, I--I would not criticize it. If you--if you'd
criticize it... I--I'd rather be silent. If I really...?... didn't even
believe it but seeing some supernatural moving, I would rather just
keep silent and keep my record clear with the Almighty, wouldn't you?
And...
E-10 Because, remember, if you're here from different churches, no doubt, you are; some of them don't even believe in Divine Presence...?... never be forgiven. And Christian friends and sinner friend also, lawyers, doctors, whoever you are, I wish to say this also, that there has been much mockery in the name of Divine healing. There's been much mockery in every phase of religion, but there is a real--real power of the Holy Spirit that delivers the human being from the bondage of sin. There's a real power of the Holy Spirit that delivers the sufferer from his suffering. And I do not see how that clergy could say and could preach the Gospel without including Divine healing in the atonement, because "He was wounded for our transgressions; and with His stripes we are healed."
E-11 If you take away one, it is
the same Blood from the same Man on the same day. Is that right? It's
an act of faith heals you. That's what Jesus Christ your Master, that
each knee in here will bow before someday and give an account for every
word... Is that right? He'll... He was the One who made that statement,
that it is, "If thou canst believe..." It's an act of faith. Act of
faith on salvation will change a prostitute, a drunkard to a lady or a
gentleman. Isn't that right? To...?... It will change a cancer-eaten
person, when a lovely doctor has done all he could do and burnt with
radium and x-ray and everything; it'll bring that person to normal
health again.
Dear friends, God Who is my Judge, Who I stand before, knows that's
just a true statement and hundreds of them...?... that is true. So, if
you do not believe it, I would not condemn anything that was trying to
help humanity, would you? Now no, it's not a financial affair with me
and you all know that. You know my home, or you can check behind us
anywhere you wish to go; it is not...
E-12 When I was a minister, a
Baptist preacher in my church for twelve years, I never even received
one red penny of salary. I never tried to take but one offering in my
entire life. That's when I got up against it once and was going... I
had... I just couldn't make ends meet. And I told the wife I was going
to pass the hat in the church for an offering. When I seen some poor
little woman, about four or five rows out from me, reach down, get a
little pocketbook, and begin to fool around with pennies and nickels in
there... Bless her heart, she'd give me everything she had. I told the
audience I was just kidding then; I didn't mean that. See? Because I
could not... I would've felt guilty of taking that poor old mother's
money. In here of course, there's large sums of money offered to me.
Not long ago in California, some of the Armenian people, who had all
sold out of their winery and things, sent me a check--a check that
amounted to more than a million dollars. And I wouldn't even put my
hands upon it. I sent them back. I'd rather be poor and live in a shack
and have favor with God, and the feeling that I had the satisfaction I
love Him, than all the wealth the world owns. And when one of those
little cross-eyed children, and their eyes are straightened... That
poor old mother done crippled up, for her to be healed, that means more
than all the money the world has. And it's no charges; it's absolutely
free. I have nothing to do with it. I'm just trying to make my body an
instrument to help other people.
E-13 I want... That's my--been
my attitude all along, and I want to go out of this world with that
same attitude, knowing that someday, I shall receive a reward, if I can
only be faithful until that time when the rewards are given. I trust to
meet everyone of you in a better world someday where there is no
sickness, sorrow, or heartache, no disappointments. I trust that when
the big wedding supper is set in heaven, I trust that every one of you
in this building tonight will be present there with your offsprings
with you. I want to be there too; I want... I know I'll have a little
girl there and a beloved wife who's passed beyond the veil. And I have
two children at home; I want them to be there also.
Last evening... I wonder how many is present, about the lady setting
here on... She came by the platform; she had a little old child, that
was physically cross-eyed. Sometimes we wonder about a line up there.
Have you all remembered in the first of the meetings there is no
miracles performed, most of them that is...
E-14 Now, remember, I do not say
I'm a miracle worker; I do not, friends. This is just a gift to discern
diseases; that's all. Your faith's what works the miracle. Not... See,
your faith in what I have said, brings forth the miracle.
This lady brought the little baby by, and she said... The little thing
being cross-eyed, I laid my hands upon it, and I just asked God to
bless it. And she said, "Brother Branham, just hold the baby just a
little while." Here's what it is friends.
E-15 All things that are done in
the line of miracles, that I know of, I foresee them before they
happen. How many of you, you remember me telling you that? In my hotel
room, when I'm in prayer, I send the manager over here, knowing no one,
"Go over, and you'll find a woman in a certain position; you'll find a
man looking a certain way, and this baby it'll be in a certain... It
may be a dozen babies like that, but it's dressed in this way... I'll
see that first. It's shown to me first.
And then they line those people to the platform, and I've never seen it
fail in my life. That's right. And that's where the A cards and C cards
and so forth are given.
E-16 Now, I haven't... Now, to
you who say, "Is that Scriptural?" All right, Saint John the 5th
chapter: Jesus the Son of God passed by the pool of Bethesda, where
great multitudes of people were laying afflicted, halt, lame, blind.
You remember the story? And there was one man had an infirmity, not
crippled or blind. He had an infirmity for thirty and eight years, and
Jesus went by and He healed that man: Saint John 5.
In the 19th verse of the same chapter here He--what He's, when the Jews
was in questioning, having questions, He said, "Verily, verily, I say
unto you, the Son can do nothing in Himself, but what He sees the
Father doing, that doeth He likewise." Is that right? It's always
foreseen. That's Divine gifts, friend, when something is foreseen.
People, be in prayer.
E-17 There's only one mistake
that I've seen in the entire meetings that I made, that I'm sorry for.
That was the lady that set in a wheelchair here the other night. I was
definitely sure. I don't know what happened to her; I haven't seen her
back since, that there was the time. But two more women was setting by
her in wheelchairs. If I'd asked for that one to be set up on the
platform, it would've showed a respect of person, and I thought the
people...?... When the woman, she was the one that God was speaking
to...?... I promised the Lord I would never do that no more.
However, the little lady that passed by with the baby, that I'll
continue to tell. I said, "Walk over and sit down." And then, if you
will believe it to be the truth, sister, with all your heart, don't
doubt at all, just believe that the blessings of God is pronounced upon
the baby, and it will get well. For your baby's eye's crossed. I wanted
to do that, that the people here in the audience, if you had to pass
through a--a line just passing by... You'll be healed there just the
same as anywhere. That is true. If your faith is strong enough to throw
yourself into the vision, it can be for you. If not, it isn't.
E-18 And the lady walked over
there and set down. I was very tired that night, been--stayed so long
with you. And after the service... And last night she came back and was
setting in the back of the building with the little child, still
cross-eyed, but still believing. And while I was in prayer here at the
altar, a-praying for the sick, she was playing with the baby and both
eyes of the baby came normal. Amen. I wonder if the lady's in the
building tonight with the child. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
Our thanks to our sister... Now, she just touched what I told her to be
the truth. I believe this, friends. If you pass through tonight, if you
come through the line, just go on and believe. If you will believe it,
only thing I have is the Word of God. And this One Who talked to me, He
said, "If you (that's me) will be sincere and will get the people to
believe you, and be sincere when you pray, nothing shall stand before
your prayer, not even to cancer." Now, that is true, friends.
And that... If that little baby's eyes could come straight, just
passing through and laying hands on the child... The mother confirms,
you might talk to her if you wish to; she believed it with all of her
heart. She's setting there waiting. If it'd taken six weeks, she'd have
still believed it. And the baby's eyes would've been all right. You
believe that?
E-19 Sometimes when God shows me
something to do, I can do it. And then... As far as diagnosis, that is
when the Angel of God is near; that's positive all the time. See?
That's the phenomenal such things as miracles. I have to see it first
before it happens.
God be with you all. And I hope that someday we meet again. I hope that
I can come back to your city and have a great revival. And I thank all
the ushers, to the ministers, the newspaper, the mayor of the city.
And I believe the mayor of the city is someone who wanted to come to
the platform tonight to see a case diagnosed. Well, that is certainly
your privilege to that. I'd be glad to do that. [Brother
Branham coughs.--Ed.] (Pardon
me.)
E-20 And now, at any time that I
can be of a favor to you, you all have my address about sending for
anointed handkerchiefs and so forth, do you? If you don't just write
William Branham, Jeffersonville, Indiana, Post Office Box 325, or if
you can't think of it, just write William Branham. It'll come to me;
I'll be glad to help you in any way that I can. So God bless you all
now, while we bow our heads for prayer again before we have this line
starting here.
Can you hear me in the basement? I forgotten to come down to speak with
you tonight. Just in a few moments, I'll take a moment's rest, and I'll
be down to see you.
E-21 Our heavenly Father, tonight we pray that this will be a glorious time. May Your Angel of healing, of mercy, the Presence of the Lord Jesus be in the building so gently. And may it be tonight one of the greatest nights of all yet, Lord, here in Zion. God bless the very ground that this city sits on. Bless all of these dear people, Lord. I never quite seen such in any city before. Somehow, Lord, I believe that the prophecy of Your servant who's been gone for forty years will surely come; may there come a revival throughout the entire city, Lord, sweeping across the nation and this city once more. Bless us tonight now, and may Thy servant be anointed with such of Thy Presence that everyone passing by might be healed. For we ask it in the Name of Thy Son Jesus Christ. Amen.
E-22 [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] Blessing...?... At this
time they'll want you to meet my Canadian manager anyhow. This is
Reverend Ern Baxter from British Columbia, which will be in the
Canadian meetings, seeing that it's to go across Canada and overseas.
All right, Brother Baxter. [Brother
Baxter speaks and leads in "Only Believe."--Ed.]
I was just going down the steps, and a man met me out there. He said,
"Brother Branham," said, "I'll always be grateful to you. My..." said,
"I wished I could be with you all the time." I don't want to talk about
that. My, that just kills me nearly to leave good friends. Said, "My
daughter was healed of epilepsy." His wife, oh, I forget what she was
healed with. But oh, I want it to be so much different. Oh, I...?...
That's just--that's worth more to me than all the money that's in the
world: Epilepsy gone from his daughter...?... Home is different now,
isn't it? When Jesus comes... God is our great Healer; He's the One Who
does all things well.
E-23 Now, if there's someone
here... I have to make this statement each night, friends. If there's
someone here that doesn't believe and just a little bit skeptic, just
remember now, I will not be responsible for what happens to that
individual during the meetings, because these things come from one to
the other.
Everyone...?... that, I say that statement: you should leave and not
stay in the building. You will have to remain with your head bowed. And
you not only do that, you do with the audience. Now, if you're a
Christian, I'm sure you'll cooperate.
Now, the people downstairs, I went down there and there's just almost
as many there as there is in here, just a lovely audience. And those
people down there in that basement, listening in the service... Just
tell me that the love of God don't bring people to the Lord. See,
they're setting there. They've never seen one thing happen. They're not
even in the meeting, but their just keeping just as quiet... A
platform, pulpit, just enough down there to have a prayer group. Just a
good crowd out amongst the people. They're setting there just as
reverent and lovely as they can be. And I'd imagine even when were
praying they bow their heads; they're just that type of people.
Down in the basement, you just be in prayer also, and loan your
strength, to me with all your hearts now, while we pray.
E-24 Now, they're going to be
praying, while we're praying. Here sister...?...
Your trouble's in your back, sir. That true? You got...?... tumor
there. How long you been that way?...?... deliver...?... complications
cause you to be nervous. Those things true? Now, you're a stranger to
me...?... But do you believe now...?... 'Course it's been thirty years
you've tried and no doubt that many fine medical doctors and so forth
has tried to help you. They just done all they knowed how to do. And
everybody likes you, everybody wants to do for you what they can.
And...?... but they can't, that's as far as they can go. But now you
come to the Lord Jesus to heal you, come confessing your faith in Him
and believe that He will heal you.[Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]...?...
You watch the audience, and let everybody be just as reverent as you
can in prayer.
E-25 Our heavenly Father, we
love You so tonight, and--and we believe that Thou art now near to make
whole our brother, breaking forth into the power of the enemy that has
bound him and make him anew after practically all of his life he's been
bound by the power of the enemy. And this has been tested by many
doctors, and yet cannot help the man any. And he comes tonight, Father,
to try his faith in Thee.
And we are taught in the Scripture that the effectual fervent prayer of
a righteous man availeth much, like Elijah. And we realize that we're
not righteous; but Thou art righteous. And with all my heart, I ask for
mercy for this man. Lord, we thank You for every effort's been put
forth for to spare him, but it's failed. We thank You for the men that
did it, that tried, but now, Father, let Thy power of healing be known
to our brother.
I rebuke this demon power which is unseen to the medical eye. I rebuke
it in the Name of the Son of God, Jesus Christ. Leave the man, come out
from him...?... Now, you...?... All right, you can raise your head,
audience. The man is healed. What? Let... He wants to...?... yourself
over brother. You're all right now, raise your hands up...?... All
right...?...
Now, just everyone bow your head, or, just come woman, she wanted to
go...?... Bring your patient.
E-26 Oh, of course...?...
'Course this doesn't... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] Anyone can see what's wrong
with this woman. She has cancer on her face that's eating her up. Fact
is, good part her face is already gone from a cancer. 'Course, sister
dear, you realize that life is very short for you if something isn't
done, if it isn't dried by God. Where do you live at? Zion? You live
here in the city. Do you believe if I'll ask Jesus, that you'll get
well? You know you will. All right, that's quiet faith. Now, I want
everyone to be reverent and in prayer.
Our Father dear, I realize that our sister here, beloved to Thee, is
dying. A hideous cancer is eating off her face, and it's seemingly,
that nothing will stop it. You alone, Lord, can do this. And wouldn't
it be wonderful, Father, we just would--just appreciate this so much if
You would heal the woman tonight. Maybe this is why You turned me back,
maybe for this person here, that it might cause a testimony through
Zion here. You Who healed the blind, and made them see, in the city
here, been blind for many years. You Who taken the little twisted
children and brought them to a normal condition. Thou art here tonight
to heal our sister [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]...
Do you believe? [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] Jesus Christ, the Son of
God. Do you believe now with all your heart?
It might seem just a little too much for you to believe, friend, but
since prayer, you who knew the woman, the cancer seems to be drying on
her face. It's already...?... God bless you. Let me hear from you. Now,
you can raise your heads if you desire now...?... Look at her face.
Look this way, sister. That dark... Let's just say, "Thank the Lord for
her."
How many knows the lady? All right. Watch her just for a few days. God
be with you, sister...?... She's testifying the glory of God.
E-27 All right. Now, every one be reverent. Come forward. The patient, don't have anything in your right hand for about two or three minutes 'fore you're prayed for through here. Here... No, though here. Take your handkerchief out. Hold your hand. Everyone just--just be reverent now in prayer; let's see your hand just a second. If you have... Let me take your hand. Yes, stomach trouble. Isn't that right? You have female trouble also, standing and so forth. You have a gall bladder disorder also. Yes, ma'am. Of course, you've been in the meetings and have seen the vibrations and so forth, know what I'm speaking. All right, you believe with all your heart? But now, you know that... See, you're a stranger to me, and there's some way I have of knowing that. Do you confess and believe that it is the Lord Jesus Christ, the gift that He sent to poor suffering humanity? All right.
E-28 Now, that... Can you see
those places on my hand. That's what we call vibration. Now, that's the
name that I give it. It just feels like my hand getting numb. See how
it looks? I'll take my hand off of yours; I'll put my own hand on.
Doesn't look like that now. I'll put Mr. Baxter's hand on it; still
doesn't look that way. Now, put your hand right back here again. There
they are. See those little white things running over my hand? That's
how I knew what was wrong with you. Now, if you will believe with all
your heart... All right, you know that. Please bow your head everywhere.
Father, Who brought again the Lord Jesus to Life, though all the world
seems to be so modernistic, and the--they're going, Lord, to knowledge
instead of just a simple faith in God. We realize that in the garden of
Eden when they tasted the tree of knowledge, they broke off
relationship with the Tree of Life. And since then man has went after
knowledge and destroys himself every time he bites from the tree: gun
powder, automobiles, and now an atomic bomb. Knowledge, knowledge...
Truly the prophet Daniel said, "They'll run to and fro, and knowledge
shall increase." But back tonight to a...?... of two thousand years
past, to faith in the Lord Jesus, ministered by a gift of healing by an
Angel.
Thou demon that's bound this woman's body, I adjure thee by the Son of
God, that you leave the woman. Come out of her.
E-29 'Course, sister, you're
watching and it never changed a bit. It's still there. Now, I am not
the healer. The Lord is the Healer, but this...?... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] and the Scripture says in
three witnesses...?... Father, be merciful to our sister. And the power
of the enemy that has bound her life, come to take her life... Thou art
here to help her.
Thou demon, I adjure thee by the Son of God, Jesus Christ, to leave the
woman.
Now, there... Now, you're looking, and see for yourself. Is the hand in
the same position, but it's changing; those little white things running
over my hand, have stopped, haven't they? Speak out sister. [The
sister says, "Yes, they do..."--Ed.] My hand has gone back to a
normal looking hand, is that true? Ma'am? ["Yes
they're gone."--Ed] All
right. Something has happened, hasn't it? Now, audience you may raise
up your head.
Something happened to the lady. Now, there's three witnesses for you.
What do you think is going--happening? You think you'll--you're healed?
Ma'am? ["Going
to go back a well woman."--Ed.] Go back a well woman. Where
are you from? Tennessee, Cleveland, Tennessee? Well, God bless you,
sister; you can go on your road rejoicing then. All right.
E-30 Bow your head every one
now. Be in prayer, all of you. Bring your--your patient...?... Look
here, friend. Just a minute...?... Oh, this little boy is afflicted.
That's because he had polio...?... Is that what makes him walk like
that?...?... Spastic. All right. Now, do you believe that the Lord
Jesus Christ can make this little boy to walk normally? You do? Oh,
he... All right. I want you to believe with all your heart now. Now,
the little boy is--doesn't speak, or hear, or walk right. He doesn't
walk right. He swings his little body kind of in a, oh, weaving
condition.
Now, I do not know how long it will take to pray for the little boy,
but I want everyone to just be as reverent as you can. And if anyone
should raise their head... This is not psychology now. Don't get that.
If it is, Jesus Christ used it too. He put the people out of the place,
out of the house. If that is the Bible truth, say, "Amen." [Congregation
says, "Amen."--Ed.] Yes,
He did. So did the apostle Peter. Now, I'm trusting that you will keep
your head bowed until you hear my voice say, "Raise your head."
Heavenly Father, in love and mercy I come to Thee for a deaf, dumb,
crippled little boy. What a pity, this mother, her darling baby...
"Doctors," she said, "tried so hard." Human efforts seem to fail to rid
the little boy of the cause. Give him hearing, and speach, and right
control of his little body, that he staggered between the people that
led him here tonight. But Thou art here to heal him, Father. And I pray
that You grant this blessing tonight for the little boy. Hear the
prayer of Your servant, Lord.
Thou, demon, that has bound this little boy, making him deaf, dumb, and
crippled, I adjure thee by the Son of God, leave the child. Come out
from him.
Friends, you'll have to keep your head bowed. As I raised my head, at
least two dozen cold waves of vibration struck across me...?...
[Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]...?...
Thy glorious hand before the people, if they can only have in You faith
and obey You. I pray Thee, heal this little boy. Give Thy servant power
of faith to make this evil spirit that's closed the ears to speech, and
his little crippled body...?...
Thou, demon, come out of the boy in the Name of Jesus Christ.
[Brother
Branham claps his hands and snaps his fingers--Ed.]
Hear me? Keep your head bowed everywhere. Pressure of spirit in that
little...?...
Say, "Mama." Say, "Mama," [The
little boy says, "Say, Mama."--Ed.]
Be reverent...?... "Daddy." [He
says, "Daddy."--Ed.]
He hears me perfectly speaking behind him perfectly.
Jesus, Jesus. [He
says, "Jesus."--Ed.]
"Amen." [He
says, "Amen."--Ed.]
Keep your head bowed now. He's hearing and speaking to me. Now, just a
moment 'fore we...?...
Little boy, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, has healed you. Now, you come
walking to me. Just let your little arms drop and come walking to me.
Want you to stoop over like this real low, get down. Now, raise back
up. Hold your hands steady. Keep walking.
Put your head down; you're sure to throw it back on the child. Keep
your head bowed...?... Now...?... Look up this way...?...
Amen. ["Amen."--Ed.]
"Mama." ["Mama."--Ed.]
"Hear me?" ["Hear
me?"--Ed.]
Now, walk again, in the name of the Lord Jesus. Straighten your little
shoulders up straight like a little man. That's right. Now, praise the
Lord. Keep your head bowed everywhere--everywhere.
There he comes straight. Keep your head bowed...?... Now you can look
up over... Amen. Straighten his little shoulders up, real straight like
a little man.
[Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
E-31 God is a Healer, isn't He?
No matter how badly you're crippled or...?... God can heal you. Keep
your head bowed...?...
This is a case of mental deficiency. All right, everyone bow your head
now.
Mother, do you believe that the Lord Jesus can give your little girl
back to you normal again? Back to a normal child?
Now, this when... Everyone must keep your head bowed. This is demon
power that struck the child, come on it suddenly. Six years ago it come
upon the little thing suddenly. It's afflicted her; she can't balance
herself...?... Very pretty little girl that...?... How old is she,
mother? About two years old...?... Now, she won't hardly know. You'll
have to kinda pack her, and teach her to walk over...?... It's taken
from that possibility of feeling like... We trust that it'll leave her
in a few moments.
Everyone be reverent.
Father, that made heavens and earth, send Thy blessings upon the little
girl. Satan has did this evil to her...?... but Thou art here to make
her well.
Thou demon, we adjure thee by Jesus the Son of God, to leave the child.
Come out of her Satan. Thou demon, come out from the child; in the Name
of Jesus Christ I adjure thee, leave the girl...?...
Come here. Every head bowed everywhere...?...
What's her name? What's her name? Nancy? Nancy, how are you? The girl
is healed.. She's just all smiles now. She knows that she's
healed...?... You love Jesus? Love Jesus, Nancy? All raise up so you
can see.
Let's say, "Praise the Lord" for the little...?... Lord bless
you...?... We're thankful. She's going to be all right now. Mental
deficiency... Just as sure as anything, the child's healed; the mind of
the child will be all right. Look at her noticing things.
Nancy? Nancy? Do you hear me? Praise the Lord. Mother, just write a
little old testimony if you will. God bless you, sister. Just
tremendous faith.
E-32 Bring the next patient. All
right. Bring the little girl. How do you do?
Now, everyone bow your head. The little girl, cross-eyed and has lumps
on her feet.
Heavenly Father, You Who made heavens and earth, bless this little girl
who I bless in Thy Name, standing tonight, waiting for Your glory to be
made known to her. Oh, how we love You, Lord Jesus. And we pray that
You will heal, that You will heal this time. Thou art here... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
Everyone be reverent. This is the first night of the meeting, I haven't
discerned one person that was an unbelieving, but there is one in our
midst tonight. That's right. And it makes it awfully hard on me. I
would... Sir, you--you'd be better off to help the meeting...?... to be
together. You're hindering. Makes it awfully hard. One unbelieving
spirit... You got to be in unity. It's making it very hard...?...[A
brother says, "Everyone now stand by in prayer. Will you cooperate with
the brother as he ministers to this child?"--Ed.] That's right. Amen.
Heavenly Father, be merciful to our little sister. And grant, Lord, the
healing of her eyes and her little feet. Thou art here to make her
every whit whole. Now, I pray that You'll grant it, Lord.
Thou demon, I adjure thee by the Son of God, leave the girl, come out
from her.
Keep your eyes closed, honey, till I say. Now, open your eyes
slow...?...
Almighty God, the Author of Life, Giver of every good gift, send Thy
blessings upon the little girl.
Thou demon, I come to meet thee in this duel of faith. I adjure thee,
through Jesus Christ, the Son of God, leave this child. Come out of her.
Keep your heads bowed just a moment, please. Something's happening.
Now, keep your little head down. Now, raise it this way. Now, look this
way. Come here...?... Oh...?... to the child...
You may raise your head. The little girl is healed: both feet and eyes.
Now, look this way, honey. The audience can see. Look right straight at
that...?... Look over there. Look up this way, right straight
ahead...?...
There's her little feet that they said had bumps on them.
They're--they're just as perfect as they can be. Let's say, "Praise the
Lord," everyone. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
E-33 ...?... Ask you before if
it's your--it's your eyes. All right. Do you believe that God will do
this for you, brother? I seen you had a little...?... Sorry, rather,
causing you...?... hurt your back. Prostate also. It makes you nervous;
isn't that true? How long have you been that way, brother? You was born
that way. All right, you bow your head...?... You was born cross-eyed
also.
Almighty God, the Author of Life, send Thy blessings upon the man and
heal him tonight. I pray Thee, Lord, show mercy to the man, and may
faith now rise into the building, into the people that they might
believe on Thee with all their hearts.
Thou demon, I adjure thee, by Jesus the Son of God, that you leave this
man...?...
Keep heads bow down; everyone reverent...?... Yes... Where you live at,
sir? Washington. Your eyes are bad, you know. Yes. Yes, sir: they're
forming like...?... Just have faith now. We shall ask the Lord Jesus
once more. Very fine man, tears dropping off his cheeks, standing
there, he realizes the great Presence of the Almighty.
Almighty God, Who is hovering on this--this platform tonight, we pray
that You'll be merciful to this man. Grant the desire of his heart
tonight, that those crossed eyes might come into their normal place
again. Since birth he's been this way, Father. Thou can straighten his
eyes even now. I pray that You grant this blessing, and may the man be
healed of these infirmities also, for I rebuke the power of the enemy
that's holding him, in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen. Every eye closed.
Now, the vibration from his back trouble, the prostate gland was
swollen, and that's stopped. Now, for the eyes, of course, that's not a
germ disease or infection. Every eye closed now. Don't doubt.
Keep your eyes closed yourself until you... Look right at me...?... How
long ago?...?... Doesn't matter, glass or not... You won't even need
it. As your glasses? Your eyes are straight. You may go home now,
rejoicing and praising God.
Raise your head, audience. There's the man. Let's say, "Praise the
Lord," everybody...?... Everybody... Praise the Lord, everybody.
Everybody bow your head everywhere. Keep your head bowed...?... Hay
fever is not a disease, that's the reason I said keep believing, throat
bigger than the skin in their nose...?... have a physical
vibration...?... But I could pick up a vibration on the child's
hand...?...
