L'Eternel n'a-t-il parlé qu'à Moise ?
E-1 Make the community a--a little easier to live right. Little hard
[Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]...?... down in northern Africa where He said
there would be thousands and doubles of thousands more and they--that
would be than what there was in South Africa...?... 'cause they had so
much trouble in South Africa and they... But in North Africa just
looked like all over the world everywhere they's a call constantly
coming.
I want to read some Scripture found over in the 12th chapter
of Numbers.
And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses saying to--of the Ethiopian
woman which he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.
And they said, Has the Lord indeed spoken only by Moses? has he not
spoken also by us? And the Lord heard it.
(Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which was upon the
face of the earth.)
And the Lord spake suddenly unto Moses, and to Aaron, and unto Miriam,
Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they
came out.
And the Lord came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the
door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they
came--both came forth.
And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the
Lord will make myself known unto him in a vision... will speak to him
in a dream.
My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all my house.
With him I speak mouth to mouth... I speak (Beg your pardon) With him I
will speak mouth to mouth.
E-2 Now, we want to turn our attentions just a moment to the attitude
of Miriam and Aaron. They thought that Moses had done wrong. They
wanted to correct him. God was speaking to them, truly, but He said,
"If there be one among you who's a prophet, I'll visit him in miracles
or visions, and appear to him in dreams, and so forth. But Moses, I
have spoke mouth to mouth with him." And Miriam was stricken with
leprosy immediately, and Aaron run in, 'cause Miriam was Moses own
sister. So it doesn't pay to talk about God's servant, does it?
And so, God spoke to Aaron here, and told him, said, "Seeing
that what he had done by Moses," said, "didn't you fear to say those
things about him?"
And so Aaron run to Moses and said his sister was stricken in
her... white with leprosy, of course, and said, "Would you let her
die." And so Moses threw hisself before God and pleaded for her, and
Miriam was stricken with leprosy though. She had to stay, and Israel
halted their journey seven days according to the law till they could
bring her out of the camp again.
E-3 God never changes. His power is just the same as it was in
the--before the creation of time. God made and spoke, and in the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was
God. That's in the beginning: the Word. The Word was made flesh and
dwelled among us. The Word returned back into the Spirit again and
living among men tonight, just the same God living on through the ages.
And His Word tonight is just as effective in the heart of a
believer as It was when It was spoken in the beginning. It never varies
from Its course. It'll move one. It's a constant relay, a chain that'll
always... And through all ages God has always had someone that He could
trust and work through. God's always had an outlet on the earth,
always. Sometime it's got down to a very few, but He's never been
without a witness, someone that He could witness to.
E-4 And I'm so glad tonight in my heart that in this little group here
in this city, there's somebody God can witness to. I--I'm glad of
that--that you like to hear the Gospel, to love our Lord Jesus enough
to come out, listen reverent and very nice.
I'm trusting that God will not have any sick people among us
when the service ends. Many has been healed. I've got testimonies. And
I'm sure that something's going on right on. It's the reason it's
something the way I'm standing here now, waiting word. I don't know
what to say, but I know either God's power has to linger near or death
one, shortly. So I'm--I don't know what He will say.
But now in the day we can't expect the Gospel of Christ to be
popular. Now, the--the Gospel--this is not the Gospel. This is a part
of the Gospel. The--Paul said the word--the Gospel come not in word
only, but through power and manifestation of the Holy Ghost. Is that
right? The Gospel is not the Word only. The Word's just a dead letter.
It's got to take the--the letter quickened and made alive and brought
to pass what the letter says it'll do. That's the Gospel.
E-5 Jesus said, "Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to ever
nation." Now, listen to see whether that's right or not. Preach the
Gospel to ever nation. That's the United States and to all the world,
and "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved, and he that
believeth not shall be damned; and these signs shall follow them that
believe: In my Name they'll cast out devils, speak with new tongues,
take up serpents, drink deadly things, or lay their hands on the sick,
shall not harm them."
Now, in order... He didn't say go teach the Word. He said,
"Go preach the Gospel." He never did commission, "Go teach the Word."
"Go preach the Gospel." And the--the Word is the beginning or the
forerunner of the Gospel. The Word goes out, and the Gospel of the
power of the demonstration of God follows the Word--makes the Word
manifest. That is the Gospel. And in order if man could preach the
Gospel, the last Word...
E-6 Maybe there would be someone who wouldn't believe in Divine
healing. I wonder what you'd think of this: the first commission that
Jesus gave the Church was to heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the
leper, cast out devils, freely as you receive, freely give. The first
commission was ever give to the apostles--to the Church.
Not only the apostles. You said, "That was just the
apostles." I beg your pardon. There's seventy of them, not just
apostles.
Someone said the other day, "That the power only come to
apostles." It was give to whosoever will, he that believeth, not to the
apostles. There was seventy sent that wasn't apostles.
Philip was not apostle, and he went down to Samaria, and cast
out devils, and healed the lunatics, and had joy and shouting and
screaming and going on to the city down there, and he wasn't apostle.
He was a deacon. He wasn't even a preacher, and he had signs following
his ministry. To demonstrate the power of God is preaching the Gospel.
E-7 Now, go ye into all the world and demonstrate the power of the
Gospel. The first words that He spoke to His disciples, the first
commission was to heal the sick and cast out devils. The last word that
fell from Jesus Christ's lips according to this Bible was to heal the
sick, Mark 16. While He was being taken up, He said, "Go ye into all
the world, and preach the Gospel to ever creature. He that believeth
(not you all), he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; he
that believeth not shall be damned. And ('and' is a conjunction) and
these signs shall follow (not you) them that believe; In My Name they
shall cast out devils; speak with new tongues; take up serpents; drink
deadly thing; lay hands on the sick... they shall recover."
And that was the last Words that Jesus said on this earth.
The last Words that mortals ever heard that fell from His lips in the
ascension He commissioned them to heal the sick and cast out devils.
That's right. They said that would be the sign that the Gospel was
being preached.
E-8 Now, I want to lay it before, friends. Where's the Gospel being
preached at? Where's it at?
Jesus said, these... I said to a fine church... Not long ago
I was having a little meeting, I said, "How many believes?" Oh, they
was three or four hundred people there. I said, "How many believes that
these words are true? Jesus said, 'Go ye into all the world and preach
the Gospel to ever creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be
saved.' How many believes that he that believeth and is baptized shall
we saved? Hold up your hand." Everybody held up their hands, like you
would here, everywhere. How many believes that? Raise your hand. I'll
try it in this audience. All right. He that believeth and is baptized
shall be saved. He that believeth not shall be damned. Is that right?
Now, I said, "You all believe that binding?"
"Sure."
I said, "Then He said, 'These signs shall follow them that
believe. In my Name they'll cast out devils, speak with new tongues,
take up serpents, drink deadly things, lay their hands on the sick, and
they shall recover.'"
I said, "How many of you believe that?" There was no hands
went up. See? Oh, just to say it as long as it's not putting anything,
as long as they can set back, and do anything they wish to, and go
ahead and belong to the church, why, it's all right, but when it comes
to the showdown, that's different.
E-9 Not long ago a certain religious man who has a wonderful broadcast
internationally... I was in a big city here in America, and I was
holding a meeting, and they had a little place, and the people were
really hungry. They were hungry. You can't feed people 'less they're
hungry. You couldn't talk...
If a man had just set down and eat a nice, great, big steak
or something, was so filled up he had to leave his pie and ice cream
set on the table, yet, I couldn't interest him talking to him about
any--anything to eat. He doesn't want it. That's what's the matter with
America today. They don't want it. They're not hungry enough. Isn't
that right?
They're--they're to be entertained, a pleasure-mad people.
They just want comfort, and luxury, and things like that, and don't
know that judgment's slipping right up on them all the time. They fail
to see that, but they don't want it.
E-10 Oh, they like philosophy and somebody who can get on the radio and
crack a few jokes, smutty, and something like that, and they'll turn on
a radio, and get their televisions, and set home, and let the church
set empty. That's what's in their heart. That's what makes--that's what
does it. The devil knows how to get his program in.
He taught all you holiness people, "Well, you shouldn't go to
picture shows." You taught your children out here not long ago, but the
devil put one over on you. He just brought the picture show in your
house. That's right. That's right. Said, "Oh, that's all right." See he
has...
E-11 You know they used to say that the devil went out of fashion, but
he didn't go out of business. That's right. He's still in business, and
he's just so much shrewder now than he used to be; in the ways that
people get shrewd he does too; and he just slips in right in. See?
Brother, I tell you if you ever slip for cover, you do it
now, and that's right. You get under the Blood of Jesus Christ. It's a
disgrace how that all such things as we have and our world in it's
condition today is eighty percent of it come right out of Hollywood,
and yet that's the example of the world. That's where the pace is set
for all the modern world, is out of Hollywood.
E-12 Now, I don't say everything in Hollywood is polluted. I had some
men at my house here not long ago the Westminsters Film Company, who's
made--come up there to make a picture. Ask me permit if they could do
it, and come to the meetings, they'd put it on the screen, called the
"Twentieth Century Prophet," and they're going into Palestine to set up
the meeting over there. And those fellow that I met is a group that
made this picture, "Samson and Delilah," and so forth, and they were
every one... First thing they did when they walked in, before they
asked me the question, they said, "Can we kneel and have prayer?" A
group of gentlemen.
I asked a question, I said, "And you all from Hollywood?"
"Yes, sir." And they introduced theirselves.
I said, "Well, what's your--what's your business?" House was
full of people to be prayed for.
E-13 They said, "Reverend Branham, we--we just come to ask you," and
they begin to present their--their problem and what they wanted. They
had all them trucks and lights and things, like to have scared my wife
to death when she saw all that stuff coming up out there like that.
They come in and wanted to paint them all up. My wife never
wore make-up in her life, so she didn't want none of that stuff. So--so
I said, "Well, shoot the pictures if you want to. It doesn't matter to
me."
Said, "What about the remunerations?"
I said, "Turn it in to foreign missions, every bit of it, and
give it to missionaries to go overseas or something with. For myself, I
don't want none of it." I said, "I wouldn't have it."
E-14 Now, the thing it is ever-where you go, you're going to find good
and bad. I don't care where you go, you're going to find it. You can go
down in (I forget) in the roadhouses or wherever you want to go, you'll
find good and bad; but the thing of it is, is they're fallen, every
man. We don't want to see no one lost, but they're fallen, and they
won't stand still to listen to the grace of God that can lift them up,
because...
You know where it started from, friend? Now, my minister
brothers, you all excuse this expression. I don't mean it to you, but
what's got the nation in the place it is today, it started from the
pulpit. They let down the bars.
E-15 They used to have an old Methodist preacher, used to come, old
Brother Kelly and Sister Kelly, they used to sing a little song, "We
let down the bars; we let the bars; we compromised with sin. We let
down the bars; the sheep got out; but how did the goats get in?" You
let down the bars, that's why the goats got in. Exactly.
You begin to take in anything in the church that was
well-dressed, and could pay good in the church, and you taken them in,
put them on the church book. You let the women begin to strip
themselves, and pattern after Hollywood, and chop off their hair, and
put manicure on their face or ever what that stuff is, and--and daub
them face all up, and everything like that, and then still call
themselves Christians and live right along.
E-16 And old John Smith when he preached his last sermon, he had
preached a very short sermon: four hours. He was eighty-nine years old.
They had to pack him and set him in the chair; he said, "The very idea.
The daughters of the Methodist church has polluted themselves to even
wear rings on their fingers."
What would he say today to see the choir members in shorts?
That's right. Listen, my sisters, I'm not to tell you what to do. I'm
only saying this. You get right with God, and God will take care of the
rest of it.
E-17 I remember not long ago when I--women first begin to smoke
cigarettes. It was a terrible thing. I'm not here to preach the morals
of these things. These ministers are to do that, but you want me to
tell you something. I think that's the littlest thing a woman can do.
That's right. You know what that does. I get a statistic from the
government that shows that mothers--these young mothers... And you
mothers here that's got young girls, teach them. Why, they've claimed
that women...
Now, they've already taken just proofs and things and you
seen it in the Reader's Digest and everywhere: "Cancer by the carton."
That--I believe it's about ninety-eight or ninety-nine percent of
throat and lung cancer is caused by cigarette smoking. That's right.
And a woman who smokes cigarettes and gives birth to a child
will either have to put it on cow's milk for if it nurses from her,
it'll take the nicotine from her own bloodstream here, or from her life
and the baby average won't live eighteen months, from nicotine
poisoning.
Talk about fifth columnist. We legalize it right here in
America.
E-18 A few moments before we went for dinner, I believe, or something,
I heard a radio broadcast come in, said, I forget, how many million
five hundred thousand cigarette firms there was in America--how many
they sell a day.
Give me the money in Palm Beach that's spent for cigarettes
in one day, and I'll send missionaries all over the world for a year in
this little city. Figure it up how many there is. How about whiskey,
beer, and everything like that. Then you talk about...?... There's
where it's at.
Well, God forgive me. I don't mean to get on them points. Let
these brothers do that. Back to the Gospel. That's the Gospel too.
That's right. It's a shame we let down on that.
E-19 It's so too bad, and it started from the pulpit. See, I'm not
condemning you. I'm condemning these up here. Let it start from the
pulpit. See way they do, and you just keep gradually coming in,
gradually coming in, he just soothes right around till he gets into it,
and he has got them.
How many remembers a long time ago when the old women used to
dress decently, and wear clothes that looked natural, and looked like
ladies. You remember that? You can't tell them apart now.
I got on a bus here not long ago with a woman. I didn't know
she was a woman. I set down there. I was--I was a game warden. It was
during time of the war.
E-20 She had on a pair of coveralls, electric welder's cap, cigarette
in the side of her mouth, and I was setting there and my arm laying
over on her like this; and we's so many of us packed in the bus. She
was cussing like a sailor, and she--and she's cussing like a man and
everything. And I kept looking at the cigarette. I seen her. She kept
going on like that, and she said, "Oh, dear."
I thought, "Wonder if it could be a woman." And I looked at
her again, and I--I said, "Sir, where are you working?"
She said, "I'm working at the boat yard."
I said, "Yes, sir."
She said, "I'm not a sir."
I said, "I beg your pardon." I said, "You--you couldn't tell
it by looking."
E-21 And she said... Just so, that like, just dressed like a man and
you know the Bible says, "that a woman that'll put on a garment that
looks like a man's is an abomination to God." You know the Scripture
says that. It's the truth.
And look, young ladies, if you'll just leave all that there
stuff off, you'll look a lot prettier. That's right. Just take a little
James 5:14 and mix with the little John 3:16, and add it all together
and stir it up; that's the best make-up you'll ever have. Is that
right? It's true.
Let me tell you something, young ladies, as you're coming up.
If your mother does it, shame her. But look. There was only one woman
in the whole Bible that ever painted herself. And you don't paint
yourself to see God. You paint yourself to come before men.
E-22 I can prove by the Bible that any woman that'll bob her hair has a
legal right in the sight of God for her husband to divorce her. Hair...
That's the Scripture. Now, if you don't believe it, lay the question up
here tomorrow night, and I'll show you. That's right. That's right, but
what do we do? The Bible says it's a common, sinful thing for a woman
pray with her hair cut short. That's right.
And yet we... You put all this make-up on, but what does it
do, friend? There's only one woman done that, and you know what God did
to her? He fed her to the dogs. So if you see a woman wearing that,
say, "Howdy do, Miss Dog-meat." That's exactly what she was. God fed
her to the dogs: Jezebel. You know you don't want to be of her
daughters, but I don't blame it on you. It's because it's tradition.
It's handed right down, and it's a disgrace.
E-23 Now, them things was permitted from the pulpit. No wonder you
can't teach Divine healing and things like... Isn't that right? No
wonder you can't. It's a pity. It's true. No wonder they get... God
wanted love. God wanted holiness, love, cooperation, but today
we...?... ourself off. "My church don't believe in this. Mine does
this, and mine does that."
Here not long ago, a young lady in our city... We had a young
lady up there at the Tabernacle. She was kindly old fashion looking, I
guess. She combed her hair right back so slick that her face shined.
She was a lady, and so there was another young lady that belonged to
very prominent church, and brother, she was pretty wild. And she went
out to dances and carried on all the time.
E-24 And she used to meet this little lady was up at the--come up there
to church, and she said, "You know what's the matter with you?" Said,
"It's that crazy preacher you got up there. That's what it is." Said,
"He believes in all that stuff." Said, "I wouldn't pay no attention to
that."
She said, "It's not my preacher; it's my Lord that's in me
that tells me not to do it." See?
And she said, "Why, you're just," said, "he is just narrow
minded. That's all there is to it."
Said there... And she said, "You mean my Lord is narrow
minded." She said, "No matter what my preacher would say," she said,
"my Lord in my heart tells me that women should dress in modest
apparel." See? And she said... And this girl made fun of her, and at
school she'd always make fun of her. So she was--this young lady from
the other church become a very prominent girl in her church.
E-25 Frankly, she become a Sunday school teacher, and it happened to be
that my cousin's girl was--went to this Sunday school; what they had of
a morning was what the date was the night before and so forth, fifteen
minutes of time they had to get out.
So the girl went out with a boy that carried a little flask
in his pocket. The first thing you know, she got to running out and she
got sick. The doctors got to it too late.
Mr. Perkins, which works for the Coots Funeral Company, is a
good friend of mine. He works for the Vising Motor Company in
Jeffersonville now. He did work then for the Coots Undertaker. He was
an embalmer.
E-26 This girl got real sick. They called the doctor, and the doctor
could nothing for her. She had a social disease, and it was too far.
Nothing could be done, four-plus, run out.
So well, all of her little class gathered in to see the
Angels come down and pack her home. Now, this is true. They was going
to take her home, and the Angels to come. So they was all gathering
around, singing songs--her pastor, walking up-and-down the floor
outside in a hall with a cigarette in a holder, walking back and forth,
up-and-down, waiting for the last minute to come for the girl.
And she was all ready. Done had her hair fixed and things for
her funeral and everything was laying there waiting, and death struck
her. When death struck her, agony begin to come, and she began to said,
"I'm lost. I'm lost." Instead of Angels coming, she was lost. She said,
"Where is that girl from the Tabernacle? Call her." Lucille McCortney,
I hope her people's not... If she was setting here, it's all right.
Said, "Where is Lucille McCortney? Get her to me at once."
All the girls run and got the pastor. Said, "We'll go get the
pastor."
E-27 They run him in there. He come in and said, "Now, here, here."
She said, "I'm lost. I'm--I'm--I'm lost."
Oh, he said, "I'll call the doctor and give you a hypo."
Said, "You're getting delirious."
She said, "You deceiver of man." She said, "I'm lost and
going to hell, and you're the cause of it." She said, "Tell that girl I
said, 'Come here.'"
They sent after Lucille, but she didn't get there. Her girl
died, and when they went--Mr. Perkins went to embalm the body, put the
tubes in, said he kept pumping fluid--a young lady--and they noticed
the fluid. He put a gallon or more, and the fluid kept going away and
come to find out they opened up, a big hole done eat in her that big:
syphilitic. She was gone.
E-28 Now, brother, let me tell you something. I say if the preacher
behind the pulpit would've stayed with the old fashion Gospel, and God
kept the thing straight, we wouldn't have so much of this juvenile
delinquency, and everything else that we got today, and the trouble
that we got. God still looks down upon that.
And how can you preach Divine healing and the power of God,
when you associate with such as that? You can't do it. Oil and water
won't mix. That's right. It's got to be one way or the other. Now,
that--now, I'm not a legalist, and I'm not this, that. I am a legalist,
and I'm not a legalist; I--I'm a Christian. That's right. See? And I'm
not taking sides, but I'm telling what the Gospel says.
E-29 And look. It's too bad that the church has lost their vision of
the resurrected power of Jesus Christ, where He said--in the old days
when He appeared to them, and give visions, and understanding. He does
the same today.
Reminds me of a little case of a very noted man was healed
just recently. And how many ever heard of Congressman Upshaw's healing?
Many of you have in here.
Congressman Willie D. Upshaw... It happened in California not
long ago. We was having the meeting, and my brother had come and got
me. And I was late that night, and so he had knocked on the door
several times, and went back out, and got him a malted milk, and come
back in. He knocked at the door again, and he knowed I was in prayer.
There was something going on. I couldn't get a... Just like they was
awhile ago.
So then I--I come to the service, walked up. Thousands of
people were packed in there. We'd been there four or five days and so
they... I guess as I come to the platform there was something struck. I
looked out across the place. I said, "I see..."
E-30 Now watch, and you'll see now what's the results. I looked out
like that. I said... And God Who's my Judge know that I never heard of
Willie Upshaw in my life, and I said, "I see a haystack, and there's a
little boy playing on it. He's dressed very odd. He fell off, and he
struck his back. He's taken to a doctor that's got glasses down like
this and a white mustache, but--but there's nothing can be done."
I said, "I see the little fellow's taken home. He's growing
on, and he gets so bad till they bore a holes in the floor so the
vibration of his walking on the floor he couldn't stand it." And I
said, "Now, he becomes a writer or something, and he's doing some kind
of a work. He--he becomes a great man. Now, he's even greater, and he's
in a bed that they roll him around in--wheelchairs and things. He can
stand up, but he's got crutches over his shoulders and down along his
sides, and he has to walk in that manner." And it left me.
E-31 And just at the time, they'd just took him off of an airplane, or
something, and had just brought it, he was rolling him in the door. I
said, "There's the old man now." Eighty-six years old at that time, and
so he heard that. Some of them run one of these little extension mikes
back to him, and I told Howard, I said, "What prayer cards did you give
out?" And he told me, and I said, "Well, call from a certain number,"
like I usually do, and line them up.
And just then Mr. Baxter come to me, the manager, and he
said, "Brother Branham, you know who that was you talked to." And I
said... "Seen that vision of?"
And I said, "No, sir."
He said, "It was Congressman Upshaw." Said, "He wants to
speak to you through this mike."
And I said, "I don't know him."
And so his wife was kneeling, down and she was weeping and he
was too. He said--he said, "My son, how did you know that I fell when I
was a boy?"
I said, "Sir, I don't... Only thing I can say is just what I
see in the vision."
And he said, "Well, that's just exactly what happened." He
said, "I'm William Upshaw."
E-32 And he was a State Senator of Georgia and was a congressman
seventeen years, and retired from the congressman of the United States.
Been a total invalid for sixty-six years, an invalid in a wheelchair
and crutches and bed and so forth.
"And he said, "I was a president (I believe it was) of the
Southern Baptist Convention." Said, "Dr. Roy E. Davis that ordained you
in the Baptist church said to me," said, "I have been prayed for
hundreds of times, but he was the one that advised me to come over here
to have you to intercede to God for me."
And he said, "I was--would've been president (and I believe
in 1926 or something when he run) but said, "Because of my convictions,
that I did not believe in selling, legalizing whiskey I stood against
it," and said, "and if I had it to run over today, I'd still stand
against it. The Democratic Party would've elected me if I'd only run,"
and said, "that I would've been against prohibition." And said, "I--I
took my stand against whiskey, because my convictions as a Christian
man," he said, "I'm against it."
I said, "God bless you, sir."
E-33 And he said, "My boy, will I ever be healed?"
And I said, "I cannot tell you, my brother." I said, "The
only thing I know..." He was setting twice the distance of this
building, like this, back in the congregation yet, and wheelchairs
plastered in there everywhere; and I said, "I could not tell you, sir.
I do not know. I can only say what I see."
And he said, "Well..." And his wife said, "Oh, if God will be
merciful."
I said, "He is merciful. I said, "Not will He be; He is." And
so I turned like this. I said, "Well, Howard bring..."
E-34 There was a lady coming up. So they started bringing her up. So as
the lady started, I looked this a way. I seen a doctor, a young fellow,
looked to be about twenty-five years old. He had his arms folded, and
if there's a doctor present, I don't know what to call it, this thing
they put around their head here: it's got a light out here, looks into
the throat. And he had on a little jacket, and it up around the throat
tight here, and he had his arms folded and he was looking down,
going... He was discouraged, and I just kept watching the little
doctor, and as the vision materialized down, he'd operated on a little
colored girl, took the tonsils out and it had paralyzed her. She was
laying paralyzed.
I said, "The doctor has operated on a little colored girl
about five or six years old, removed the tonsils, and it's paralyzed
her." And about that time I heard a scream about, oh, way down along on
the right side, way down in that way somewhere, and the dust flying,
and here come a typical old Aunt Jemima, great big, fat woman
with--colored woman--with a stretcher in her hand, an ambulance
stretcher, and she had that great, big arm just a knocking ushers every
way. It was her baby--screaming to the top of her voice.
E-35 Well, the only way they could keep her off of the platform was to
line up a bunch of ushers here, and she just--she said, "Lordy mercy.
That was my baby, and that's the same kind of man that operated on my
baby." And I said... She said, If--if--if parson is my baby going to be
healed?"
I said, "Auntie, I don't know." I said, "I can't say. The
only thing I can say is what I see." I said, "Oh, I could tell you I
believed it, pray for the baby, but to say is it going... I don't
know." I said, "Surely..."
You just think a poor illiterate colored woman, setting way
down in that back row there, and Almighty God moving a vision out here
concerned about her. Could you imagine? God is no respect of person. He
will--he will respect a sincere heart I don't care where it's at.
That's right.
E-36 And here she was standing there. She was just carrying on there
and the ushers trying to quieten her. So the first lady come on up, and
as I--I hadn't even got to her case to talk to her yet.
And I saw something moving again, and I looked out, and right
over the audience like this come like a dark streak, and I begin to
watch that streak, and it materialized into a road or a street or
something. And down the street went that little colored girl with a
doll on her arm, rocking that doll.
Brother, that was it. I knew it. All devils out of hell
couldn't stop it then. No, God done said so. That settles it. I knew
what was going to happen, and I thought, "Oh, praise the Lord."
E-37 I told this lady, I said, "Excuse me." I said, "Auntie, you're a
Christian, no doubt."
She said, "I's been raised from a baby to be a Christian,"
she said. She said, "Lord, my baby."
I said, "Now, stand up just a minute." I said, "Do not weep."
I said, "Jesus Christ has heard your prayer, and He's healed your baby."
And she said, "Is--is my baby going to get well?"
I said, "It is well."
And she said, "You mean my..."
And the little girl said, "Mommy, look a here." And she
jumped up there, and that poor old thing, and women fainted setting
around there. And she jumped up, and that little girl got her by the
hand and down through... Made them kept quiet and down through the
audience they went, holding one another's hands, praising God, walking
out the door. I stood still, watching. People crying and as they went
out the door.
E-38 I started turn to the woman. I looked going down across the
audience and here went that old congressman. Now, he was dressed with a
blue suit and a red tie on (which if any of you know him, that was his
very way he liked to dress.), but this time he had on a brown suit,
light brown with a white stripe in it. And he had on one of these hats
like I wear. Frankly, he's the one sends them to me. So--so he had one
of those hats on, southern hat, little Stetson, and he was going along,
tipping his hat with his very southern hospitality you know, tipping
his hat very gentleman like going down the street like that, walking
down over the people.
I knew God had done it. I--I... When that takes place,
brother, there's... Just like having this meeting in India and what's
going to take in--in Africa, there is nothing in the world could rub
that from me. I know it's going to be. When God says so, it's never
failed, and it can't fail. It's God. That's not faith. That's just
acting out what He said do.
E-39 I knowed that that man was healed. I looked again. I thought,
"Now's the time," and I said, "Congressman."
And he said, "Yes, my son."
And I said, "I would like to ask you a question."
He said, "Yes, sir."
I said, "Do you own a brown pin striped suit?"
He said, "Yes, sir, my son, I bought one day before
yesterday."
I said, "Well, my brother in Christ, though you have laid
sixty-six years on crutches, wheelchairs, and beds, and rushed up, and
believed in healing all your life."
"That's right."
I said, "But... And stood for pro--against the evil, refused
to become president, because you chose the right thing, God has honored
you, and Jesus Christ has healed you."
He said, "God be praised, my boy." He said, "If Jesus Christ
will ever let me walk without crutches and things again," said,
"I'll--I'll spend the rest of my days, which is very few I know left,
I'll spend them for His glory."
I said, "Congressman," and I felt myself fainting then. Done
got me. I said, "In the Name of Jesus Christ stand up to your feet.
God's healed you."
E-40 And that man who had been invalid for sixty-six years, the
congressman of the United States rose to his feet, rushed to the
platform, reached down, touched his toes, raised back up, and was
perfectly normal as long as he lived. That's right. Went to see
Churchill, visit him, stood in time in Billy Graham's meeting up there
on the White House steps and sang before those congressmen, "Leaning On
The Everlasting Arms."
God... The man lived so long. He went over years after that.
That's been about four years ago. Brother Bosworth has been with him.
We've been in the meetings. He crossed back across the country. I took
my own love offering and many things for him and helped him to buy a
car. He went across the country testifying from school to places,
everywhere, of the power of the living God.
E-41 Look like if God would've wanted to heal him, He would've healed
him when he was a young man and his bones were all flexible, soft.
Looked like He wouldn't have waited till his bones was old, and
brittle, and his back broke just like President Roosevelt, but that man
who had been an invalid for sixty-six years in wheelchairs, and rolling
bed, and could walk with the support of crutches to his back, rose to
his feet in one moment's time and was made perfectly whole by the power
of the resurrected Jesus Christ.
He was acquainted with nearly all the kings and potentates of
the nations, known by being a congressman. He even kindly had me to
sign my name to a letter that went to Joe Stalin. That's right, and
spoke to him, and told him of his healing, of how God had healed him
and told him if he would come this side of the Iron Curtain he'd prove
it to him. He was quite a sense of humor--the congressman was.
E-42 So my Christian friend, I say this tonight. I'm not an old man,
yet I'm not a boy; but if I had a life, and God would come down and
say, "Would you forfeit this Christian experience that you have of My
redeeming and resurrected healing power..." And your brother tonight
standing here was once a blind man.
I was led around by the arms like that with great big thick
glasses on, and was so much astigmatism until my head would shake like
this, till it'd take me sometimes an hour for the barber to cut my
hair. And one moment's time the loving grace of Jesus Christ moved
those great, thick glasses from me. I can read newspaper print five
feet away from me.
E-43 And today... A few weeks, no it's been about a year ago now, I
went to Louisville to a very fine specialist who was going to grind me
some glasses for sunglasses to--in Africa and different places. I was
going to British Columbia on the snow banks there on a hunting trip
on--after I'd come from Africa... And a little doctor friend of mine
who lives door neighbors to me, is Dr. Sam Adair, said that he thought
maybe it being, said, "You're forty years old, Billy. Your eyes are
just actually getting bad. That's the reason..."
I wear any kind of glass and it makes me sick. I said, "No,
it's the color."
He said, "Go get your eyes examined." And he sent me over to
this specialist; that was the will of God. The man now wants to go to
Africa with me and perform operations of cataracts six months free of
charge for the natives. He's a Christian man.
See how God works. Sure. And when they--he examined my eyes.
Here's what he said, "My eyes twenty-twenty, is good. He tried it on
from twenty-twenty to fifteen-fifteen and then down to ten-ten and my
eyes are ten-ten. I sing "Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound that saved
a wretch like me."
E-44 Now, of these type of testimonies, God Who is my Judge would know
this, and I say it and if I--if I'm exaggerating, God forgive me. I
believe that I could stand here, if it was possible enough, and for the
next five hundred hours give testimony of things that I know that our
Lord has did, and it wouldn't cover it, of things above the thousands
that volumes of books wouldn't put it in detail, of what our Lord Jesus
has did, that I've seen Him do myself. It's--friends, it's just been
hundreds times hundreds times hundreds of everything.
You say, "Why didn't I hear it? Why didn't I know something
about it?" That's the same thing that many Jews thought after Jesus was
crucified or so forth. Many of them say, "Why didn't I? Why didn't I?"
It's your privilege now to believe it now and to accept it. This is
your day.
E-45 You might think, "Brother Branham, are you..." I'm not saying
because I'm holding this meeting here. I'm not holding it. God is.
If--if He would speak to me tonight and say, "Go somewhere else." I'd
be on my road right now. Well, that's... I never... If...?... to me I
couldn't do it. It's Him. I feel that this place needs the Gospel of
Jesus Christ and His power. It's true.
Tonight I know places that's calling that right here where
they've got as many as fifteen thousand people that can be in the first
night we gather in. That's right. Fifteen thousand people. I know of
many places where at least a hundred and fifty thousand will be
gathered at the first time. That's right.
But it isn't--it isn't crowds that I'm thinking about. The
Gospel must be preached in this city, and that city, and to all the
world for a witness, then the Lord shall come. Not theology must be
preached, but the power and demonstration of the Holy Ghost must be
demonstrated in all the world for a witness. Then the time shall come.
E-46 God bless you. It's your hour. Receive ye Him. Our Father, Who art
in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Father, we pray Thee tonight, that in
our little bark of humility here, we--we pray that somehow, knowing
that we're unworthy, but that You will anoint tonight, for You have no
hands but ours, no lips but ours. Our eyes are Yours.
We are the branches that's to the Vine. O Father, we pray
that You'll push forth tonight through the Vine, through the branches
and bear fruit. Grant it, Lord.
E-47 And we stand humbly and submissive to Your Divine will. Thou
knowest about Mr. Upshaw which all the rest of his years he walked
perfectly, walking, leaping, jumping like a young boy, and now tonight
way in the old age You took him home, nearly a hundred, and now he's in
Your Kingdom tonight a young man, rejoicing with a great host of the
heavenly being.
We thank Thee for it, and we pray now tonight, Lord, as we're
the ones who's left to yet speak this Gospel while we're living and the
daylight is shining. God grant that the great lights of heaven will be
turned on to every soul in here tonight, and great signs and wonders
might be done.
E-48 And now, You Who raised up Your Son, Jesus, You was the One Who
brought Him here on earth by overshadowing a virgin, brought forth this
marvelous Jesus. And when He was here on earth, He was a humble Man Who
walked around as a carpenter. He was despised of the church world, but
yet You were with Him.
And He said, "I don't do nothing. What the Father shows Me to
do, that I do." And He was submissive to You and give glory to You. And
what You showed Him, He did. And now, Father, when He went away, He
made a promise, and said, "These things that I do shall you also. I'll
be with you, even in you to the end of the world."
And Father, I'm declaring to this audience here in West Palm
Beach, Florida, tonight, that You raised up Your Son from the dead, and
His Spirit is working in His Church tonight, trying to find an outlet
through some heart to make the sick well, the blind to see, the lame to
walk, the deaf to hear, the sinner to re--refuse to sin anymore, and to
accept Christ as his Saviour, and be filled with the Spirit of God, and
be sent out on the field to do work likewise.
Confirm Thy Word now Lord with signs following for we ask it
in Jesus' Name, Thy beloved Son. Amen.
E-49 I believe your... Was that A? All right. They gave out the prayer
cards today, and Billy told me awhile ago that it was prayer card A he
give out. Let about the first ten or fifteen line up over here to the
right to be prayed for. All right. While the rest of us sing "Only
Believe."
Turn you little card over. It'll--it'll have your name and
address, and on the back of it, it's a letter A 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,
9, 10. I believe each night we've been getting to about 15.
If you'll notice, friends, look. They're always criticizing
not getting to as many. Go to some meeting and see how... That's about
fifteen or more here in this line and maybe fifteen or twenty out there
in that line.
Find out anybody who prays for the sick who gets to more than
thirty or forty of a night and the rest of them just goes through
laying on of hands just as fast as they can. It's all the time you
have. You can't do it no more. That's right.
But look. What I'm trying to get you at is not to have faith
in somebody hands, but to have faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
Amen. You believe it? Then have faith in God.
E-50 All right. Let's sing "Only Believe" now real reverent while we
all sing. Come on now. Give us a word.
Only believe, only...
All things are possible, only believe,
Only believe, only believe,
All things are possible, only believe.
Let's sing it like this:
Lord... Lord, I believe,
All things... possible, Lord, I believe,
Lord, I believe, Lord, I believe
All things are possible, Lord, I believe.
E-51 Wonder if we could hum that? We got--how many's out? Somebody
missing? Number 4. Prayer card A-4. Turn your cards over. Somebody
maybe that's deaf or... Look at the cripple or somewhere that can't
get... Prayer card number 4. A-4 is missing. Perhaps a deaf person or
somebody who can't get up. Look at your neighbor's card while we sing
it again and find out if they--if they have the card. If they do, raise
up their hand. Prayer card number 4, A-4. All right, let's sing again
now, everybody.
Only (That's right. Look at your neighbor's card.)
Only believe,
All things are possible, only believe.
Only believe, only believe,
All things are possible, only believe.
Did they show up? All right now ever who is was is losing
their turn in the prayer line. See? When I get home, somebody will
write a letter and say, "Well, nobody told me my prayer card was called
one night." You see? But that's the reason I ask you to look on your
card, if somebody's deaf and can't hear they can't hear me calling
them. You see? Prayer card 4, A-4. All right.
E-52 Now, the Lord be merciful and bless and may His great, righteous,
Holy Spirit shine upon each of us is my prayer. Now, please, keep your
seat and be reverent.
Now, I want to call the lady. Come here. Beg pardon? Oh,
number 4. All right. That's all right. Bring him up here and line him
up in his place, if you will. Thank you ever who looked at that--the
man's perhaps deaf and couldn't hear. So then you bring him up here and
put him right in his place up here if the ushers will.
All right. Now, I want you to look this a way and believe
with all your heart, that Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God, is
here to heal and make well. Do you believe it? That's right. I like to
hear that word "amen." "Amen" means "so be it," and that's what we
want. All right.
E-53 Billy, here's your... Oh, that's... Okay, that's all right.
This--this is the patient. Now, lady, if there was any way in the world
of healing you, God knows I would do it. I would be glad to do it, but
I couldn't heal you. You know that, and how many in here's aware that I
couldn't heal the woman. Why, certainly, not. I cannot do what Jesus
Christ has already did, can I?
Now, her healing is already complete. Jesus healed her long
years ago when He died. But now, something has to happen to get her to
accept her healing (Is that right?), something to make her accept her
healing. All right.
Now, I want you to look this a way, sister, and believe with
all your heart. If you believe me to be God's servant... Now, the
reason I say that is this, is... Just a moment. Is it an important
message? The--the reason that I say this... And I want the audience
before the anointing strikes me, I want them to know this.
E-54 The reason that you hear me say sometimes, get the people say,
"Believe me." See? Now, the reason I say that is not believe me as Him.
Certainly not, certainly. It's to believe that I have told you the
truth that He has sent me to do this. Now, see when that Angel met me,
he said, "If you can get the people to believe you." See? "If you get
the people to..."
Peter and John passed through the gate called Beautiful,
said, "Look on us." Is that right? And Elijah when the--all of them had
come down there and got him kindly all stirred up, he said, "If it
wasn't I respected this righteous man, Jehoshaphat, I wouldn't even
look at you." See?
E-55 How many knows that you can--you could send your soul to hell with
a Divine gift? Sure, you can. You have to watch what you're doing. How
many believe Moses was God's prophet? Say, "Amen." He was God's
prophet, but do you know what he done? God told him to go down there
and speak to the rock. The rock was already smitten. Is that right?
Instead of Moses doing what God told him to do, he went down and smote
the rock again. Is that right?
Well, that absolutely broke the entire Scripture right in
two, right there. Christ wasn't smitten twice. He was smitten once. We
just speak to Him from now on. Is that right?
But when Moses smote the rock, that broke God's complete
program and it was--he had done exactly what God told him not to do.
See? But he could do it anyhow, whether it was God's will or not. That
seems strange, doesn't it? But it wasn't God's will, but he was a
prophet. He could do whatever he wished and what his power would permit
him to do.
But what did God do then? He dealt with Moses and kept him
from going over in the promised land. Is that right? Took him upon a
hill and said, "Here it is." Let him look at the promised land, passed
him out, let the Angels come take him away and bury him.
E-56 You have to... Look at Elijah. That young prophet was bald-headed,
and them little children teasing him about being bald-headed. Said,
"Thou bald head. Thou bald head. Why didn't..."
You know what he said? That prophet turned around and
put--cursed those children and said, "Cursed be," I suppose in the Name
of the Lord, and before those little children returned into the city,
two she bears killed forty-two of them little innocent children. Is
that Scripture? Poor little innocent children, but an angered prophet.
Better be careful what you're doing. See? That's right.
So that's the way it is here. I want to see what you're doing
before you put a curse a disease... What if God had put something on a
person, or permitted Satan to do it, and you and I would come around
with a Divine gift and take it off before God's will was accomplished?
Then God will deal with me. See? Have to be careful.
E-57 Now, I want you to know to look at--the person telling them to
look I'm asking them so I can attract their attention. See? Look at me.
Believe me. Do this because I'm representing God to you.
Now, I want you to do that. Like the woman at the well, Jesus
said, "Bring Me a drink," and got to talking to her. That's the same
way I do you, is just see what God will say. Until His Spirit comes,
I'm just as your husband would be or anyone else. I have nothing at all
that I can do. There's nothing that I could say or anything. I just--I
just have to let Him do it.
We're strangers to one another, and I don't know you, but God
knows you. He knows you, and I know you're a Christian, because if you
wasn't it would be turning dark around you, but instead it's light.
E-58 But say, you just been healed. You was healed. You've been healed
in this meeting of arthritis or something had it and you's healed.
But I--I see someone away. That--you--you received a letter
from somebody. Isn't that right? And that letter was from Indiana, my
home state, and it was about a woman, a friend of yours, who has a...
It's a woman that's got a heart trouble, and she's got something to do
about church or some... No, it's a preacher's wife, that's what it
is... It's a preacher's wife. Isn't that true? And that woman has been
in my meetings. I see it crowded, but she couldn't obtain a prayer
card, and she's wrote to you to give you to come and stand for her.
Amen. That truth?
E-59 And you have some other worry on your mind there. Just a minute.
Yes, it's a--it's about a--a child or a daughter, a daughter, school
girl that's got some kind of a--a--a intestinal, bowel trouble or
something. She's a nervous upset person. It's spasms in the bowels, is
what's a doing it. It's going to get all right. It's going to be all
right.
Lord, in Who dwells the power of vision, You alone can do
these things, and I believe tonight this a very Christian act this
woman standing for her friend. You stood for all of us as a Friend. God
grant the request. Will you, please?
Across the country, wherever the woman is, I curse that
disease of her body in the Name of Jesus Christ and ask that they, her
loved ones and friends that she's standing for, will be made well, and
may the power of God, that knows in ever part of the world and can be
at everywhere at any time I pray that it'll be confirmed to those
people this very hour in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen.
Now, sister, I have prayed the prayer of faith, and with all
my heart when I was praying it turned real bright, and I believe you're
going to receive just what you asked for. God be with you. Let's say,
"Thanks be to God."
E-60 Now, that's it. I want you to worship God. I don't you just so you
have to hold your peace and everything. I want you to be reverent when
vision, because if you don't it moves around, but who can deny the
existence of Jesus Christ.
I now as God's servant take the jurisdiction over every
spirit. Nothing, nothing in the power of faith could stand in its
presence, and everyone of you people setting out there in the audience
that's sick I give a solemn challenge by the command of the Lord Jesus
Christ for you to believe on His Name and He will heal everyone of you.
That's right.
If I was speaking in myself I would be a liar. I speak of
Jesus Christ. He's Truth. If I bare witness of myself, I bare wrong,
but I don't bare witness. God bares witness of me that I've told the
truth, and I'm telling you the truth that Jesus Christ healed everyone
of you.
E-61 And everyone of you right now if you've got unforgiven sins, you
confess it and make it right, and God will heal you, but He can't heal
you with unforgiven sin. Satan still has the jurisdiction over you.
Now, take my word. I'm telling you the truth and God's
bearing record that it's the truth. Now, you out there, that hasn't got
any prayer card I want you to start praying [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
should believe with all your heart while I'm speaking here on the
platform.
E-62 How do you do, sister? Seem to be a very kind, little person. You
believe with all your heart that Jesus Christ is the Son of God has
raised from the dead living in His Church? I believe that, and I
believe that you believe it. You--you got some kind of a blood
condition. The blood is clogged on the [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] God
will grant it to you. God bless you. Bow your heads.
God Who sends Your power, You said, "These signs shall follow
them that believe. If they lay their hands on the sick, they shall
recover." and this poor woman, standing here tonight knowing that any
second could be stroke. Her doctor knows the same, but Thou, O God, has
brought redeeming power, and I claim a--a Divine gift ministered to be
by an Angel sent from God, and I now ask this blood clot to be
dissolved in the Name of Jesus Christ. May it leave her, and may the
doctor not have to operate. I ask this in Jesus Christ's Name,
be--believing that down through the power of God through my body comes
His power to make this woman whole through Jesus Christ's Name. Amen.
God bless you, sister. Go, and the peace of God upon you.
E-63 Be reverent. My, if I could only weed them critics. You hound me.
I got a good notion calling your name. Don't do that. You're hindering
God. God will smite you with something as sure as I'm standing here on
the platform. You're hindering others.
All right, sister, look this away. I don't mean to mean to be
upset. You believe me to be His prophet? You had some kind of a
trouble. You've had a--it's a kidney trouble. You've had an operation,
and they--they--I believe I see them take that kidney away. You--they
in the operation they moved one kidney, didn't they? Hum? You have
a--also something in here. Right along--it's a--causes sickness, and
colic like, and you spit up--it's gall bladder trouble. That's... Is
that right?
Stand over this way just a moment. They's some contact with
you and that little girl standing there. That's your child, isn't it?
That's right. All right. Go on your road. God be with you and bless you
and heal you. Let's say, "Thanks be to God." Amen.
E-64 What are you thinking, sister? You believe Him? Little boy? You
suffer with something wrong with your eyes, isn't it? The little boy, I
see drops the blood flying fast. He's a bleeder. Isn't that right? Lay
your hand over on him.
Almighty God, Who raised up Jesus from the dead, Who stood on
this earth here as a Man, dressed like a Man, looked out into the
audience, and knowed just exactly what they were doing, what they were
thinking about. He raised from the dead, living among you, men tonight,
God heal them. I pray this blessing and send it in the power of the
Holy Spirit in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen. Receive your healing, sister,
both you and your baby.
E-65 Sir, you believe you're going to get over that rupture? You do?
Gall bladder trouble, that's when He done it. It's over now. You can go
home and God bless you.
Only thing you have to do is to enter that channel. He will
get you. He will heal you. That's all. Have faith in God. Blessed be
the Lord.
Howdy do, sir. You believe me to be God's servant?
You believe that high blood pressure left you there, lady?
Shaking your hand, believing that He--He healed you and made you well?
If you do, you can have it. God bless you.
E-66 Do you believe with all your heart, my brother? Do you believe me
to be God's servant? You've read after me and wanted to meet me. I want
to shake your hand. God bless you. Now, look on me, as that you've
waited for this time. If you've done that, God will have to have some
place of contact for you. If the deep's calling to the deep, there's
got to be a deep to respond to it. That hour has come for you. God
bless you. Life hasn't been a flowery bed of ease to you.
Your trouble is in your bowels. I see you've had a--some kind
of an operation or a lance, an abscess. A doctor lanced it, and I see
him looking around. He wants to operate, but you have prayed and
believe.
I see you got some trouble at your home too. You got a wife
that's something wrong in her back. It's a slipped vertebrae. Is that
right? And I see a younger woman that's got swelling somehow. It's your
daughter--it's your daughter-in-law. Is that right? And don't she
belong to the Church of God. Go home, brother. God has visit you and
been... God bless you.
E-67 Hallelujah. Amen. Amazing grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. You can
call me a fanatic if you want to, but how can you hold your peace, when
the great God Who created the heavens and earth and holds our souls in
His hands is in our presence. We're in His Presence now, working: "If
there be one among who is a prophet, I will reveal Myself in visions.
If what he says comes to pass, then hear him." And I'm telling you,
Jesus Christ is in the building now, the resurrected Lord Jesus to heal
every person, save every person, fill everyone one with the Holy
Spirit, give any redemptive blessing that He died for at Calvary. Amen.
E-68 Howdy do. Excuse me, I just want to talk to you a minute. See? God
bless your heart, brother. You sure like to see her get well, wouldn't
you? You believe she will? You, I'm talking to. You don't have any
prayer card for her, do you? Didn't get a prayer card? You believe me
to be God's prophet? If God don't heal her, she can't stay here long.
It's heart trouble. She's very bad. Isn't that right? I see it moving,
her sweater jumping like that, but God can heal her. You--you believe
it with all your heart now. Won't you lay your hand over on her there?
Lay your hand, yourself, on her head.
God, be merciful. Don't let her die, Lord. I plead this
blessing for our sister who sets semiconscious, death beating at the
door. Father, at this time, I don't know what You've said to do. I just
know what's wrong with her, and I'm interceding for her in the Name of
Jesus Christ that You'll spare her. Amen. God bless you, brother. God
be Jumalan rauhaa.
E-69 You believe with all your heart? You brought your baby here for
one thing. She's mighty sweet. I've got a little one at home like that
tonight, about that age. Do you believe that God can reveal to me that
baby? Do you believe that God will hear my prayer? And now, if Jesus
was here on earth in a body of flesh, you'd go to Him. Certainly, you
would. You'd take your baby there. Well then, 'course, He's--He's--His
body has been received up into heaven but His Spirit is here, and we
are His Body now, and that's the reason you brought her to me.
Now, if He is in me as I claim He is by the Holy Spirit,
working through a Divine gift (That's the outlet.), then He can speak
through me and tell me what's wrong with that baby. Is that right? And
if He will, then you'll accept the healing of the baby through Jesus.
The baby suffers with a stomach trouble. Is that right? It's a over
secretions of acid, and its kidneys bothers it. Isn't that right? It's
caused from a nervous condition.
E-70 And you're also--it inherited it from you, and you're a nervous
person, and you have a--a female disorder, which is an abscess, and
it's on the left hand side, and it causes a drainage. Is that right?
All right. You believe me to be His prophet? Give me your baby.
Satan, you who have bound this child, I as God's servant,
heal it from this condition in the Name of Jesus Christ I do this under
the authority of Almighty God Who sent His Son Who promised it. Amen.
Lord, I lay hands upon this, my sister, to heal her of this
condition, not my hands but representing Yours, and in the Name of
Jesus Christ I curse the disease. And Satan, you're exposed. Come out
of her in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen. Take your baby and go home
now. You're going to be all right. God bless you.
Oh, thanks be to God Who gives us the victory through Jesus
Christ, our Lord. Do you believe me to be His servant, lady? That
goiter left you then, lady. You believe it? You had throat trouble
setting out there next to her also. Accept your healing? God bless you.
Kinda struck you for a little bit, didn't it? But it's finished. God
bless you.
E-71 Oh, God is so merciful. You believe now? You're a diabetic. You
believe Christ is going to heal you? Certainly He will. He's your blood
transfusions at Calvary. This is not your home. You've come from up
north. You got a husband in a hospital that's got heart trouble. Isn't
that right? Want you go lay hands on him too, that he will be well in
the Name of Jesus Christ.
Have faith in God. If thou canst believe... Are you believing
everyone? Are you of one accord? Do you believe that the Holy Spirit's
now going to do this for each one of you?
E-72 All right. Come, sir. Heart trouble and arthritis, but God has
made you well. Go ahead off the platform, be... Say, "Thanks be to
God." Man's quiet, but he had a solemn faith.
You believe He's going to make everyone of you well? I just
look back to someone to... All right, lady, come. The kidney trouble
left you while you was standing down there in the line awhile ago. You
can...
You want to be healed of that gall bladder trouble, lady,
setting back there on the... Yeah, you turned your head and looked
back. Stand up to your feet and say, "I accept my healing," and get
well. That's... God bless you. Let's say, "Thanks be to God."
E-73 You believe, sir? All right, come here. You had several things
wrong with you...?... a lot of complications. Been a little hard of
hearing too but--but you're not no more. Here, I'll show you. You hear
me? You hear me? When you was setting right there, you got a real funny
feeling come over you, wasn't it? That's when you was healed. See?
That's healed too. God bless you. Yes, sir. Go off the platform
rejoicing, thanking God.
Come. You was the little girl that your mother, or something
that I seen your mother or somebody awhile ago. Is that right? You
won't look it, but you're anemia. Is that right? But Jesus is going to
make you well now. You believe that? I would like to bless you in His
Name. Come here.
Lord Jesus, You said, "Whatsoever you bind on earth, I'll
bind in Heaven. Whatever you loose on earth, I'll loose in heaven."
That was Your Words, Lord, and in the Name of Jesus Christ, I loose
this girl of this blood condition. Amen. Go, sister. Now, you're going
to get well, and I want you to always remember that, honey. You may
have a tussle later on in life. But I want you to remember when you go
to school and wherever you go, testify of God's glory. God bless you.
Let's say, "Thanks be to God."
E-74 If you'd believe you'd have--you could even--you could even see
without your glasses, and go home, be well. You believe that? All
right. God bless you and Jesus Christ make you well. Amen. Let's say,
"Thanks be to God."
I seen someone pressing to their side. It's a lady with
glasses on, looking at me, setting right there at the corner of that
post. You suffer with gall bladder, isn't it, sister, setting down
there? You believe with all your heart, you can get well right now and
go home and never be bothered no more with it at all. God bless you.
E-75 Come, sir. The reason it was acting on her in that way is because
of you. You have a stomach trouble. You see? And a whole lot of that is
caused from a gall disorder that you don't know nothing about, throws
the stomach into spasms. You're healed. Go home and eat. God bless you.
You're a good believer. Let's say, "Thanks be to God."
Have faith. Don't doubt. I believe every person in here can
be healed right now. But I know you're healed. You believe your healed
'fore you come? You won't have no more arthritis then. Go off the
platform rejoicing, saying, "Thank You, Lord Jesus," and be well. Let's
say, "Praise the Lord."
All right. All right, come, lady. Do you believe, lady, with
all your heart? Want you to put your hand on my shoulder. You want to
get over that diabetes, and be made well, and go home. You do? Just go
right ahead and around this a way, and just say, "Thank the Lord."
E-76 How many of you wants to be well? Raise your hand, and say, "I
want to be well." Now, while you've got your hands up, lay them over on
one another. That's what I wanted you to do put your hand over on the
little girl [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
I don't know why. I see a lady with a green looking dress on.
The Spirit of God is around the woman, but she turned her head. She has
her hands up like this. I don't know. Something's taking place. The
woman is in deep sincerity. Let's bow our heads.
E-77 O God, our Father, Whose Presence we are now permitted to be in,
we are indebted to Thee, O God. We are unworthy of being able to stand
in this day of evil. All the world is falling to pieces seems like, and
this very dark hour to see our Lord Jesus in His resurrected power,
manifesting Hisself through signs and wonders.
Merciful Father, if Thy servant has found grace in Thy sight,
I pray Thee to be merciful tonight to answer my prayer, and that these
things that I ask may be brought to pass. Grant it, Lord. Thou art
everlasting God...?... and...?... Your Son Christ Jesus, and was with
the apostles, and was with an angel there and down through the age, and
You're here tonight. And in not too long we'll see You face to face. O
Father, have mercy upon us. We plead for mercy. We're unworthy sinners
that Thou saved by Thy grace, now, we're so thankful to be Your
children, and I ask that You'll heal every mortal in here tonight.
E-78 May the Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ move down, settle down,
come over this audience, and may the glooms of fear, doubt, and
unbelief be moved away. Lord, I believe that You'll give us...?... just
a...?... just a touch of Your presence, they will receive it. Just move
the gloom back enough that their spiritual eyes can be opened up to see
what's standing right here in the building tonight, to see Your
Presence is omnipotent.
O...?... gracious mercy, I pray God that You'll do it; move
back the powers of the enemy. Thou, Satan, who's done this evil to
God's children. The Lord Jesus curse thee, and in the Name of Jesus
Christ leave every one of them. Come out of them, and go out in outer
darkness. All the spirits of evil that's in here come subject to this
command. As God's servant, I adjure by the living God, that you depart
from everyone in here and may the lame walk, the blind see, the heart
troubles be cured, the cancers cured, everything in here be made well
in the Name of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, I ask it. Amen...?...
meeting.
