ELIE ET ELISEE
E-1 Evening friends. Very happy
to be here again this evening to minister in the Name of our dear Lord
Jesus, for His people. And I want to express my appreciations to that
Spanish choir again for that lovely song. You know, it's not always,
maybe, I could understand the words, but the spirit it was sung in, you
could understand it.
The way about, you can read a book, read a sermon, but you'll never get
out of it, 'less you hear the person preach that sermon. The Spirit
goes with it. I thank you young ladies and young men for your--your
kindness to us. And we appreciate it very much, of being loyal to come
down and help us like that. And may God ever bless you. I just pray
that God will be with you and just give you the best that He's got in
His Kingdom. I trust the rest of it, for every one of you.
E-2 And every time that you can
come sing a special, along with others, we appreciate it. And I still
remember the times of being at your church over there, when I first
come to Phoenix and prayed for twenty-five hundred people, one
afternoon. That's the longest prayer line I ever had: twenty-five
hundred people, one afternoon. There was approximately that many, maybe
a little more or little less, we couldn't judge, you just... I said I
was going to pray for everybody here and when the... If any emptied up,
they'd be filled up again. Then time they'd empty up, they fill up
again. And went on through all day. And so, they judged about
twenty-five hundred people passed through the prayer line that day.
So we're very happy to know that the great results of many being healed
that afternoon and saved. The testimonies of some of them still linger
on, of how the Lord blessed.
E-3 Thinking of Madison Square
Garden, of course, again. The last time I was here, they had me out
under those lights out there. I got it up at my house, framed, when we
was here, I believe one or two nights or something, when we was here
the other time. Better back like this, of course.
Now, I understand that the Indians are coming down tomorrow night, or
Saturday night, or sometime, for service. I would like to have got to
go up to the reservations, if the missionary's here. That was fully my
intentions of doing it. But my time is so pressed. I just got every
day, and I... It takes me five days to get home, so I just won't have
it. I just come in one afternoon and leave the next morning, for
Columbus, Ohio, at the coliseum. And leave up there one afternoon and
just come right on back down again in Louisville, Kentucky. So then,
it's just from one right to another. Until our time is just taken up in
such a way that we just haven't got the time to--to make it.
E-4 I remember telling those
Indians, I would return back. And I--I mean to do that. Just as soon as
possible. Maybe just come out, and instead of being one day, give them
four or five days up there on the reservation. And pray with them and
help them. I understand their having a great meeting up there now.
The... Some of the churches are up there and they're having a great
time.
I hear some brother up there is preaching Divine healing for them. And
that's mighty fine. If any of them here, I want you to know, that man
has just as much right to pray for the sick as I do or anybody else.
That's right. If he believes it, and preaches it, and lays it in the
Atonement of Christ, then he's got a right to do it. And I--I'm
thankful to God that there is somebody up to help.
Everywhere... We just... The great call comes... The Macedonian call is
the universal call now, isn't it, everywhere? "Come over and help us."
E-5 And we're waiting with great anticipations of getting overseas and back to the people... Can you hear me all right up in the balconies? Is it coming in? All right. And I was thinking, the remark that I made the last time I was here. I said, "This is a--a ring where the people wrestle and--and fight." I remember; I used to have that kind of sport myself. I was... used to box. I won the bantam weight championship of the three states, and wasn't defeated. I just give it up to preach the Gospel. So... But I tell you, I got a greater fight now, than I ever had in my life. I ain't fighting my buddy; I'm fighting the devil just as hard as I can.
E-6 And I always remember the
different techniques, and way to watch, and the different things from
the guard, and so forth in boxing. And you have to be... certainly be
on your toes when you're fighting this great enemy that we have now.
So I'm certainly happy to... Have nothing against the arenas and
sports, and when it's clean, it's a very fine thing. I just don't
listen to them or nothing, because I don't... It was in my blood, so I
just keep away from it.
But I got such a great fight now, and such an awful enemy. And this
fellow is not my buddy; he's my enemy, the devil. But I'm so thankful
that I got so much setting around. Faith, what it takes to defeat this
enemy. And God will grant it.
E-7 Now, the Lord bless you. We just starting in a new place tonight, of course, gets us just a--a bit confused for a few moments, maybe to start off. But the Lord will take care of that I'm sure, if we'll just read some of His Word, and believe that He's here to help us, and--and He will do it. Don't you believe that?
E-8 I want to read out of II
Kings for a portion of Scripture this afternoon, just to--to pass a few
comments, for the next, about fifteen minutes, before we call the
prayer line. They said it's... Tomorrow they was going to try to put
girders under here, they'd... just small two-by-six's or something,
that... Couldn't get much weight on here, but we will find a way to
pray for the sick.
Frankly, you don't have to come up here. You just have to have faith
where you're setting. God takes care of the rest, doesn't He? And you
pray for me tonight. I--I'm the one who really needs prayer, not for
sickness, I'm very thankful for that. But I need prayer while I'm
trying to minister to the others. If you just realize what a opposition
there is when you... Spiritual power, that encloses around a person
when you're speaking of Christ, and especially in the way of--of
bringing the Word or making the Word manifest to the people. That's
the--the thing, when the Word, just preaching the Word...
E-9 Here some time ago, I went
to an auditorium where another man, fine religious man, a good brother,
famous teacher, internationally known, or nationally, at anyhow, and he
was kindy opposed of Divine healing. He's changed his mind since then.
But that afternoon when fifteen, eighteen hundred people was setting in
the auditorium, he preached on Christ the Saviour of the world, asked
people if they'd come down and accept Him. There was one woman walked
down and shook his hand. And nothing against that. He went out. The
audience was dismissed. His congregation went out, all nice, well
dressed people, intelligent looking people. Nothing wrong with them.
Walking out, the minister bowed his head to the people and walked out
in a dignified graceful way. I thought, "My, that's very nice."
But here come my group in. Mine come in on crutches, wheelchairs,
straitjackets. That's a different thing for your faith to buck
something like that. See? Just to say, "Come down and accept Christ and
be saved." and walk out, that's not so bad. But when you have to prove
what you're talking about... That's right. When Jesus Christ comes down
and makes... But, brother, as long as it's in His Gospel and He
promised it, don't let one thing shake you, 'cause He will do it.
That's true. He will do it. Yes, sir. The only thing you have to do, is
believe it, and ask Him to help you, and believe that He will, and He
will take care of the rest of it.
So I pray that God will help every one of us tonight as we read His
Word, and speak a few moments, and then pray for the sick. In II Kings
the 3rd chapter, beginning with the 14th verse, we read 14th and 15th
inclusive, just for a reading of His Word.
E-10 Now, this is something new
for me. Usually, you know, when I'm here, the managers are with me and
they do the speaking, preach the Word... And I'm a very, very poor
speaker. And then when I come in and try to do the best that I can by
that, and then try to go back in to praying for the sick, it's quite...
The meeting doesn't get the value in the way of Divine healing that we
should have.
The meeting here was announced, "Not A Healing Service." This... These
meetings wasn't announced healing service. It was announced for Gospel
preaching. And I was getting myself a little rest before I crossed the
seas. The healing services was to be across the seas.
E-11 Tell you how much easier it
is over there. When you're setting there maybe before seventy-five or a
hundred thousand people, and they're there... Some of them don't even
know which is right and left hand. Some of them are... Well, a big
percent of them, especially in Africa and those places, are nude. It
may seem strange, but while I was speaking, a lady gave birth to a
baby, setting right there. Just picked the baby up, put it in her arms,
and went right ahead, never even noticed as if anything had happened.
And... very strong in that manner.
And they're... But them setting there... And let them see one
supernatural thing did. You don't have to have no more. Only thing they
do, they just get right up, and put their wheelchairs in the corner, or
crutches, or whatever they're walking on, lay their cots over, pick
their pallets up, go on home rejoicing, happy, receiving the Lord and
being healed. See? It's not hard. And nothing... Just about ten
minutes, it's all over.
E-12 Have to take, maybe it'd be
fifteen or twenty interpreters. Like you'd say, "Jesus Christ, the Son
of God." And the interpreter standing next to you, he'd maybe... he
would go, "Cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck." That means "Jesus Christ, the
Son of God."
When I used to hear people, the Pentecostal people, speaking with
tongues, I used to say, "I--I don't know about that. They don't make
noise that sounds right somehow." That's 'fore I knew anything about it.
But I know this one thing now: You can't make a noise 'less it's got
some kind of a meaning to it. That's... It's just some kind of a
language somewhere. You ever get into those tribes and things, you'll
see that it's got a meaning of some sort. No matter what kind of sound,
grunt, groans, and everything else is got a meaning to them, by
somebody.
E-13 And maybe, you'd speak,
this one, then that one, and that one, and that one. And maybe you'd go
get a drink of water and come back and set down before you ever get
through. You'd say, "Jesus Christ, the Son of God." before it ever got
through all the interpreters... And now, you have to wait on them.
But as soon as you get your message out, shortly, just a very few words
to say, and then just make them the challenge of this, and say, "Now,
if Jesus Christ that I speak of, has raised from the dead, and He
promised (Now, we just base it on His Word.) that the things that I do
shall you also. And I'm with you always to the end of the world. Now,
if He has risen from the dead and living among the people, He will
produce the same thing that He did when He was here on earth."
You ask them to believe that, every one of them will say if they can
see that, they'll believe it. Then get one native, anywhere you want
to, walk up, I just can't speak his language, knows nothing about what
I just talked about, I never seen him, heard of him, and the Holy
Spirit will stand there and reveal that man's life, right to him. Every
one of them will accept it. Every one of them believes it right then.
You just see them... And one prayer.
E-14 Brother Bosworth, which I
believe is a very fine man. All of you know him, for near... Fred
Bosworth. How many knows Brother Bosworth? Sure, nearly everyone around
full gospel ranks knows Brother Fred Bosworth. He said, "Brother
Branham, without one shadow of doubt, there's at least twenty-five
thousand healings, that one afternoon, with one prayer."
Just went to the microphone after something had taken place at the
platform, and I offered prayer. And he said, "I stood there and I
cried, Brother Branham." Said, "I--I just wept my heart out, just to
see them, just--just moving up and packing their old sticks and
everything, until they get piles and piles and everything. Going away
like that just of--of healed... Said, "At least twenty-five thousand
people."
E-15 Now, that's the way my
ministry should be worked in America. But remember, I'm an American.
And I love my country. It's the greatest country in the world. Now, I
don't say it because I'm standing here. No, sir. I say it because I
mean it.
When I was in France and around there, I probably crossed over the
grave of a many dead Branham, that's died for this nation. And if it
come my time to do it, I'd do it just as free as they did. But,
brother, we need a lot of straightening up around this country. And I
say this with a love in my heart: if there's any nation that I've ever
visit (I practically been around the world), if there's any nation that
I know of that needs a missionary, it's the U.S.A. Exactly right.
It's a lot harder to deal with an educated heathen, than it is one that
isn't educated. That's... He knows too much about it. They'll set back.
The uneducated will see the working of the Holy Spirit; they'll accept
it. They uneducated say, "That's mental telepathy." "That guy's a
witch." "There's nothing to that. The days of miracles is past. Dr.
Jones said so." Or somebody else said so or something.
E-16 No wonder the poor American
people is so scrupled up in their mind. They don't know what to
believe. One says this, and one says that, and one says this. Isn't
that the truth? Well, the poor people. No wonder I'm going to preach in
a few nights on something like that when I get my opportunity to use
the preaching service, or maybe Sunday afternoon. And then on these
things. And the American people is the worst confused people I know of
in the world (That's right.), religiously speaking. When I went into
the Hottentots of Africa, they could come here and teach us how to live
morally.
When I talked about missionaries to India, they say, "What are you
going to teach us? How to divorce our wives and drink whiskey and carry
on the way you all do, and call yourself a Christian nation?" They
don't do that over there you know.
E-17 Oh their morals there are
so far beyond ours, till ours is not even in the shadow of them. That's
right. We have the biggest divorce rooted in the world is in America.
Said, "You want to teach us how to divorce our wives and call it
Christianity? How to have whiskey stores on every corner, get drunk and
carry on? And you call that Christianity? Well, we're better off as
Mohammedans." Morally speaking, they are, morally speaking.
When Christianity is the most cleanest, holiest thing there is this
side of heaven. But it's representatives is what's breaking it up.
That's true. It's what those who represent it. We call ourself a
Christian nation. We're no more Christian nation than any of the rest
of them are. Right. We call ourselves that, but a Christian is an
individual experience, a man borned again of the Spirit of God makes a
Christian, not a cold confession, going to church and living... Your
fruits tells what you are. Is that right? It's true.
E-18 So in America the signs and
wonders of God can take place. If what was took place last night or the
night before (one of those nights, either night) in Bombay, India,
there'd been a hundred thousand souls won to Jesus Christ. But people
walk in our meetings and walk back out, say, "Well, what do you think
about it?"
"Just a polished up soothsayer, something like that." Yeah. "Just--just
mental telepathy. God's real psychologist." That's--that's--that's the
educated.
Education is (yet in it's best) has been the greatest curse that
Christianity has ever had. Right. You educate the people till they know
more than God knows about it. See? And that's where they don't know
nothing then.
He that'll humble himself before God, God will take care of the rest of
it. I... You just believe God. I'd rather... I've got two little girls
here; I'd rather those little girls never even know their ABC's and yet
know Jesus Christ, than to have all the education that the world could
pile into them, and know how to... And don't know Jesus Christ.
That's... I would rather they'd know Christ. That's right. Amen.
E-19 Well, I better read my
Scripture, hadn't I? 14th verse.
And Elisha said, As
the Lord of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, surely, if it were not
that I regarded the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would
not look toward you, nor see you.
But now bring me a
minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand
of the Lord came upon him.
E-20 Now, shall we bow our heads
just a moment. And I want to pray for these handkerchiefs too.
Our kind Heavenly Father, the Author of this Word, we thank Thee
tonight from the depths of our heart, for the sending forth of Jesus
Christ, the Son of God, to redeem us from a life of sin and corruption
into this great Holy Ghost way that we now walk. We thank Thee for the
faith of the people who's brought these handkerchiefs.
And now, dear kind Father, as I lay my hands upon them, asking that You
will bless them for the purpose of the healing of the sick body. Now,
Father I realize that many of these in here, perhaps, poor old mothers
and dads are waiting for them, and their--maybe their only hope that
they have left of ever being well again. Their doctors, with all
kindness, has tried their best to heal the people. But maybe it's
beyond the doctor's control now. Only You can stop it.
E-21 And I'm thankful Father,
that the people has enough confidence to send these handkerchiefs here
to this audience tonight. For prayer of these Christian people. We're
thankful for that confidence they have in You. Father, I pray that not
one of them will be left out, but every one of them may be healed.
Grant it, Lord.
And now, may the Holy Spirit take the Word of God and circumcise the
lips of the speaker and the hearts of the hearer. For we ask it in
Jesus' Name. Amen.
E-22 I was just a little tired
tonight. When I was just acting a little nervous. I just drove a
hundred and thirty something miles in about two hours and something,
awhile ago, so I'm really--really good and tired. And I was trying to
relax myself. The meetings are going on so long till it makes it hard.
Now, just for a few moments of your time, to speak. We'll try to start
the prayer line exactly nine o'clock, if we possibly can.
E-23 Now, during the time of
this reading of the Scripture, was when king Ahab, he had been king of
Judah or Israel for a long time, and he had died and his son had taken
his place. And king of Judah of was Jehoshaphat, a righteous
God-fearing man. And so there... the... Alien countries came against
Judah, or against Israel and--and the king of Israel went over to the
king of Judah and asked him to make an alliance with him. That he would
go up and fight against the king that was coming against them.
And what a terrible mistake, that Jehoshaphat, this righteous man made
at that time. He joined himself up with unbelievers. And any man that
ever joins hisself with an unbeliever, "How can two walk together
except they be agreed." said Jesus.
Don't never join yourself with unbelievers. The Bible said, "Be not
unequally yoked together."
Here some time ago, and during the time of this last war, when we went
over on sides with Russia. How I wondered how it could be. Well, there
we are. Wouldn't accept the cross so we've got a double-cross. That's
it.
E-24 This great king's...
Another thing, after you once join yourself up with an unbeliever, you
kindly take on his ways, if you don't watch. They took off and went on
this journey, out into the wilderness, seven days without consulting
the Lord, went out to fight the battle without consulting the Lord.
Now, I think if Jehoshaphat would have settled down and not been all
excited when something happened. He'd have first consulted the Lord. I
believe tonight, or any other night in the services, when you see the
Holy Spirit moving in the audience, before you judge it too quick, you
better kinda set still and consult the Lord about it first. And say,
"Lord, what is this? You let me know. Is this you?" Then let... God
will speak to you about it.
E-25 Now, but when he went seven days, never fetched a compass for those seven days or packed for it. They got out into the--the wilderness there, and they'd run out of water. And they were about to die. And Jehoshaphat being a righteous man, a God-fearing man, had the present sense to think, "Isn't there somebody, somewhere who could pray a prayer of faith or something for us." That's about the way of a Christian, isn't it? When he gets in trouble, he goes to thinking about prayer, or somebody who could help him. He said, "Isn't there a prophet that we could consult?"
E-26 Although he was just a
little bit late. He ought of thought about that seven or eight days ago
before he had left. But after all, God in His mercy. Some of them said,
"Yes, here's Elisha down here. Who poured water on the hands of
Elijah." In other words, he'd had some dealing with a real prophet.
Elijah was a real prophet. And Elisha was wearing his mantel.
And how that a beautiful type of those two prophets. Oh, if we just had
time tonight to set those things right where they should be. They're a
perfect type of Christ and the Church. Elijah, a type of Christ, the
mighty prophet of God. And notice, just before his going away, knowing
that he was to go away, he didn't leave the nation without a witness.
He made preparation for a man to take his place. God's witness.
E-27 How beautifully Christ did
the same thing. Before He left, as God's witness, He made preparation
of a Church. And ordained that they would be witnesses all the way
through the Church age, plumb to the end of the world.
I think after he throwed a garment on him, when he was plowing, Elijah,
and he killed the ox, took the yoke and so forth and made a feast, as
they broke to the meat. Told his father and mother good bye and
followed Elijah.
E-28 Notice, how Christians as
soon as they become anointed, how they're tempted sometimes. But Elisha
was a prophet, and he said... Elijah said, "You tarry here. The Lord's
has called me to Gilead--Gilgal."
So he said, "As the Lord liveth and your soul liveth, I'll not leave
you." I like that. Going to stay right with him. He'd started and now
he's going through. We used to sing a little song.
I'll take the way with the Lord's despised few,
I've started in with Jesus, now, I'm going through.
Did you ever hear that old song? My, I used to hear that when I was
just first come into the way.
E-29 Now, notice. He went on and
he... Then when he went with him to the city, he said, "The Lord has
sent me up to the school of the prophets." So he said, "You wait here."
Said, "As the Lord liveth and your soul liveth, I'll not leave you." On
he goes to school of prophets. Second stage of the journey. Watch, to
always hurrying through like this, you miss it.
But as... If they're a type, then they had to follow in correctly with
the plan of Christ and the Church in this age. The second stage of the
journey, they came to the educational, more spiritual group, than they
had at Gilgal. The prophets, the school of the prophets, the educated.
Although I never did think there was very much prophets about them.
One went out one day to find some peas and got some wild gourds. If the
fellow didn't know the difference between peas and wild gourds, I don't
know. All right, that's about the way some of these school of prophets
gets today, don't you think so? Can't discern the difference between
spiritual things and spiritualist things. All right. Notice.
E-30 Then when he went to the
school of the prophets, he said, "You stay here now. The Lord has
called me to Jordan."
He said, "As the Lord liveth, and your soul liveth, I'll not leave
you." Now, if you will notice, after he had laid his mantel upon him,
just threw it on him in the field, and said follow him, that was the
blessing that Christ had give the Church, "Follow." It's got a dual
parable there, that... I'll just take this side of it for the night.
But notice, them stages where he went is the stages of the journey.
When the Church came from the dark age, out of the dark age, the first
stage of the journey was with Luther, Gilgal. The second stage was the
Methodist age. John Wesley's age, the Methodist church, the second
great reformation, as it was.
E-31 Now, the third stage is
coming on. But the Church still follows on, Elisha, following Elijah.
And when he gets across... down to the Jordan. Jordan is a meaning of
separation or--or death. You've heard many times "when I come down to
the chilly Jordan." Jordan was death. The Lutheran age followed by and
so did the Methodist age. But we come to another age now, the age of
"dying out."
All your worldly pleasures. God has got to do something with you in
order 'fore He could give you the Holy Ghost. He's got... Got to die
out, get dead. You don't die out, you can't... You remember, life can
only come out of death. A seed can only die. Anything else can only
die. And out of death comes life. Out of the death of Christ come the
resurrection of Life.
And the only way that you can tonight, become alive of faith in God, is
die out to yourself and symptoms, everything around you, and become
alive: Die out, die out to symptoms, die out to circumstances, die out
to everything else and become alive in Christ.
E-32 Now, when they got down to
the Jordan, time to cross over. He made the way. Then when he crossed
over (the stage of the Holy Ghost church), said, "Now, I want to ask
you something."
"So what do you want?"
He said, "That a double portion of your spirit come upon me." That's
the way to ask for it. Don't be scared. Ask for the whole lot. Jesus
said, "You have not because you believe--ask not. You ask not because
you believe not. Ask abundantly that your joys may be full." Ask a
whole lot. "God, just don't make me a little bit better; make me all
the way well." Don't just let me have enough religion to make myself
miserable; kill me out to sin that I can live in Christ. That's right.
E-33 Don't make me so I can step
back to maybe bow my head once in a while; make me so I can shout. Make
me so I can open up my mouth and sing, and bring praises to God. Give
me the whole thing. Let me have the baptism. Kill me to the things of
the world, where people's around me. When I go to church, let me
worship You. That's right.
No matter what anybody else thinks, just kill me out. That's what we
need tonight, is a Jordan experience, is that right? Many of us was
like the school of prophets, stand over on the other side of the hill,
looking off. Let's cross the river, tonight.
Say, "Well, Miss So-and-so got healed; she had cancer. Mr. So-and-so
was in the wheelchair; he walked." What about you? Let's cross over
tonight. Amen.
E-34 Notice, and when they got
across, he said, "Now, you've asked a hard thing, but nevertheless, if
you see me when I go, you'll have it." Could you imagine a single-eyed
man? That's the trouble with the Christians tonight. They got their
eye, one of them on Christ and one on the world. And that's the reason
we're not getting anywhere.
I can see Elisha, watching him, every move he made. That's the only way
he was ever going to get the blessing is when he watched him, kept his
eye on him. Keep your eye on Christ. Don't look to how sick you are or
what the doctor said. Look what Christ said. Keep your eye right there.
Believe what He said. His Words are true.
E-35 Keep your eye there. He
said, "Now, if you see me when I go," My, he just kept walking,
watching him. Watching him. Then when, the first thing you know, down
from the heaven come a chariot, horses of fire, and picked Elijah up.
And as he went up, he took off this robe that he had opened the sea
with, or opened the river, took that robe off, dropped it back down,
and Elisha picked it up.
A beautiful type of the Church. When Jesus was here on earth. He done
great works and great wonders. Elijah when he was here, he did great
works. But Elisha had a double portion of his spirit. Elijah done eight
miracles, and Elisha done sixteen miracles, a double portion, perfect
of the Church.
E-36 One time, Jesus was asked,
"Let my sons set on your right and left hand in the Kingdom."
He said, "Can you drink the cup that I drink?"
She said, "Yes."
Said, "Can you be baptized with the baptism that I'm baptized with?"
Said, "Yes."
Said, "You can. But the right and left hand is not Mine."
So the baptism of the Holy Spirit was upon Christ. When He was taken up
on the day of Pentecost, one hundred and twenty people went in the
upper room, up there with their eyes straight towards heaven, watching.
And when He threw that robe of the Holy Ghost back down there, She
picked up a double portion out of the Spirit of God.
E-37 "The things that I do shall
you also, and greater than this, for I go unto My Father." And a Church
of the living God, that claims to be baptized with the Holy Ghost, the
same Spirit was upon Jesus Christ, has claimed to kiss the blessings
off the rim of the cup of His sanctification, I wonder how that we can
set still in the time that His power is a moving like that. Oh, my. I
wonder if we can't pick up the robe and say, "Where is the God that led
Jesus Christ from victory unto victory." Amen. Yes, sir. Here was a man
that had a double portion. Said, "Let's go down and see him."
That's what's the matter with the world today. They're leper-stricken
and everything else. They got to come somewhere and God wants His
Church that's got the double portion to shine out. They'll try to put
bushel baskets over it, but shove them off and shine again. That's
right. Stand toe to toe with him. You got God on your side, so who can
be against you?
E-38 Said, "Let's go down and
see this man Elisha." So they went down there and... He seen Jehoram
come up in front of Ahab. He kinda got all peeved up. That's got to be
hard on you Arminian people but I tell you, even that prophet got a
little stewed up, don't you think so? He got his kindly dandruff up. He
had his righteous indignation, does that sound better to you? Something
got tore up anyhow.
He walked out there and said, "If it wasn't for the presence of
Jehoshaphat," He said, first to Jehoram, "Why don't you go to your
mother's god? Go to your mother's prophet, Baalim, your father's
prophets and so forth. Why did you come to me? Go on back down."
He said, "Nay, God's brought us kings out here to kill us."
He said, "If it wasn't that I respected the presence of Jehoshaphat, I
wouldn't even look at you."
E-39 My, there he was. I'd like
to say something right here but I better hold it. All right. "If it
wasn't that I respected Jehoshaphat," he said, "I wouldn't even look at
you." Now, he got all stewed up, you know. Got his temper all up. He
said, "Now then... But bring me a minstrel."
I was talking to a man not long ago that didn't believe in music in the
church. He was holding a fuss with me about it. He said, "Oh, the music
belongs to the world."
I said, "The Spirit of God didn't come on that stewed up prophet until
he got the minstrel out and begin to play a good old fashioned Holy
Ghost song. And the Spirit of God come right on the prophet." That's
right. God doesn't change. And if God liked music in that day, God
likes music today. Yes, sir.
E-40 He begin to play the
song... I don't know what they played in them days, but I imagine a
good old song like, There's going to be a Meeting In The Air, in the
sweet by and by, God's own Son will be the leading one, when... Meeting
In the Air. Something like that, some of those good old fashioned Holy
Ghost songs. And the Spirit of God come on the prophet.
I tell you brother, when we get all the formal shackles shook down, and
the Spirit of God in the songs again, and get back to an old place
where we can have the Spirit of God moving in the place, then the
prophet can see a vision, then the powers of God comes overflowing.
Then they can see Diving healing. Then they can see the resurrection of
Christ. Then they can see He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
E-41 Well, you say, "Brother
Branham, I'm not the prophet." Well, if you ain't the prophet, you can
be one of the instruments anyhow. Just keep playing. That's right. You
ain't got no more than them ten, just give vent to them just as hard as
you can.
If you can't be the prophet, be part of the minstrels. Do something to
bring the Spirit of the Lord down. Amen. Prophet couldn't do it
himself, he had to have the minstrel to help him. So it begin to...
Then you see when everybody... When the prophet and the people got in
harmony with God, the prophet begin to see things. Now, brother if you
don't see Divine healing, you don't see the baptism of the Holy Ghost,
you don't see this mighty move of the Spirit of God, moving in the last
stage here, just get in the Spirit one time and you will see things,
things will be revealed to you. You will begin to notice things looking
different, what they used to be. That's right. You won't go along with
a criticizing spirit; You'll come back humbly. That's right. Oh, my. I
feel kindly religious myself tonight.
E-42 Notice, when I was thinking
of that, oh, how I just begin to see things. Now, watch what he said.
It's time for me to close; I'll hurry. Notice, what he said. He said,
"Now, you go over there; you're not going to hear any wind, and you're
not going to see any rain." Done saw a vision. See? "You're not going
to see any rain, hear any wind, but there's going to be water to come.
Now, I want you to go down there and dig trenches all around tonight."
Right in the burning hot desert, where there wasn't a bit of water.
What do you know about that? "Ridiculous," one of them say. But as long
as the Word of God said do it, start digging. That's right. Well, the
doctor said "There's no need." Dig anyhow. Oh, God said so. And
remember, they had to see somebody dig out there, and he hit down
against something like that, and say, "Oh, my. We hit a snag." Throw
the snag out. Lot of times when you're digging, you hit that neighbor
that lives next door to you, tells you there's no such a thing as
Divine healing. Throw it out. Keep digging. That's right.
You hit your pastor down along that line sometimes. He'd say, "I
wouldn't fool around with that bunch of holy-rollers." Throw him out
and keep digging. That's right. Dig a little past him.
E-43 Remember brother, the
deeper you dig, more water you're going to get. That's right. We don't
want nothing shallow. We want all God's got for us, everything: power
of His resurrection. Yes, sir. We'll just keep digging. Oh, my.
You run into sister, mother, ever who it is, just throw them out. Keep
on digging. Get a great big deep ditch. 'Cause more ditch you get, more
water you get. Oh, my. About daylight... Hallelujah! There come water
from the way of the desert. Why? Where did that water come from,
preacher? I don't know. Did it rain? No. But you remember, Israel had
just passed through that wilderness a few years before that. That rock
that was smote in the wilderness was still there. That prophet's eyes.
Hallelujah!
I tell you, that rock still lays here tonight too. That's right. Just
start digging and see if the trenches don't fill up. Get all of the
world out of the way. Get them old picture shows and hoe-downs and
things you been tending to, all those other things, throw it out. Let
the waters come in. Give God first place. Yes. Amen. Get those things
straightened out. Then the waters can come down, from the way of Edom.
That's right.
E-44 And the first thing you
know, the other sayers on the other side looked back and they said,
"Why, I believe they've had a slaughter down there, looks like blood."
So down they went. And they rose out of ambush and beat them all the
way to the wall. Look what they done. They burnt every city, and they
stopped up every well. They cut down every tree. They filled up... They
just tore up the land.
And brother you start digging tonight with all your heart, just digging
out everything you can, and when we get over into the land, where them
old unbelievers are, let's take a rock of testimony and stop up all
these old cold formal wells around here, that's giving out all this old
stagnated water. That's right.
Bunch of this old stagnated water, "The days of miracles is past." That
things are a million years old. Let it go. No such a thing. God that
lived in the days of Moses is the God that lives today. The God that
lived on Jesus Christ has the Holy Ghost here. Resurrected from the
dead, Jesus is, and He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Amen.
E-45 Well, bless the Lord. I
believe it. Bring me a minstrel. Let's go to playing. Bring me some
hearts that'll believe God. Bring me some hearts like that woman that
come down off the mountain that day, when she seen Him pressing along
the street, and she wanted to touch the hem of His garment. Be that
part of a minstrel tonight. Watch Him turn, say, "Who touched Me?" See?
Is that right? May the Lord bless you and add grace unto grace.
Excuse me for taking that much time. But God be with you. I just...
You're such a lovely audience. You get started that way and you hardly
know when to stop. But God be with you and help you now.
E-46 How many believes tonight
with all your heart, that that Rock that was in the wilderness is right
here tonight? Amen. Remember, it was Moses that smote the rock, and the
rod was in his hand was a judgment rod, and it smote the rock in the
side and waters came out, a very type of John 3:16. "God so loved the
world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in
Him should not perish..." That Rock in the wilderness was--saved a
perishing people.
One time I seen a picture of that. It--it just made me tired to look at
the picture to see. They had a little bitty stream drip--dripping out
there, was just about like, oh, I don't know, a spigot just about half
dripping. Well, that wasn't the way that rock--water come out of there.
Well, brother, there's was about two million Jews out there, besides
all the camels and things. They all drank all they wanted. There was
gushers of it. It'd take it millions of gallons per minute. Hallelujah!
That's the way Jesus Christ comes, not in a little old drop here and a
drop there; He fills your soul and your heart. Hallelujah! No stoppers
like that. It's a gusher opened up. "He that believeth in Me has
Everlasting Life, and springs of water gushing up into Everlasting
Life." Shall we pray.
E-47 Heavenly Father, we thank
Thee for Jesus, the inexhaustible Fountain of Life. Hallelujah! So glad
to be planted in Him tonight. Speaking, O God, how we thank Thee for
the fruits of the Spirit, as we see it manifested in this last day. We
see the weeds coming up. We see them putting forth their evidence. But
we see the Church coming with her evidence too.
We thank Thee for the Church of the living God. Lord, dress her in pure
white needlework. Grant it, Lord. Set her as an example. Empower Her,
Lord. Grant tonight that the Holy Spirit will come and take control of
every person in here, or continue, as I should say, with the control
that they have on the people, may great signs and wonders be wrought
for the glory of God, for we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen. God bless you.
E-48 Now, you pray for me as I
pray for you. (Oh well, that--that's all right then. What cards did you
give out? O? O.) Give out prayer card O's awhile ago to the audience
here. Let's have a... We usually call about fifteen. I hadn't been able
to get to about... all of them. But maybe I can tonight; I'll try.
Let's--let's call the first part of them tonight. See, who has prayer
card O-number-1? Hold up your hand. Just quick as you can find your
prayer card and I call it, you raise your hand. Prayer card O-number-1,
raise up your hand, O-number-1? Thank you, lady. Come right down here.
O-number-2, who has prayer card O-number-2? Is that the--the lady
setting there? All right, lady, you come. All right, O-number-3? Who
has prayer card O-number-3? Would you raise your hand, ever who has
O-number-3? Is this the person? All right. O-number-4, Who has number
4? You lady? All right? Number 5, who has O-number-5? All right, sir.
E-49 Number 6, who has 6? O
number 6? 7, 7, prayer card 7? Somebody look now, may be a Indian or
Spanish that can't speak. So then it... Or might be somebody deaf. Oh,
here. Thank you, sister. Excuse me. All right, come--come down here.
All right. Number 7. 8, who has prayer card 8? O number 8? 8? All
right, that's fine. 9, 9, who has prayer card 9? O number 9? 10? 10?
All right, lady. 11? 11, prayer card 11? 11? Thank you. Prayer card 12?
Prayer card 12? Who has 12?
See the reason I call them one by one, I'm getting so much come back
saying they were deaf and couldn't hear, in the... something and
couldn't get up. They were sitting in the chair, or they were... or
couldn't speak English or something.
All right. 12, who has prayer card 12? Is it here? O-12? 12? Thank you.
13, prayer card 13, 13? Would you look at somebody's card? It may be
someone that's--that's deaf or look... Has the little boy got a prayer
card here, sister? She hasn't got a prayer card. Just... All right.
That's all right. Look at the--this man here; he's helpless too, looks
like. He doesn't have a prayer card. (Try to get it. Uh-huh. What say?
Oh, yes.) Is there a Spanish interpreter here? Just raise up and... If
there's a somebody here who can say the word in Spanish, say, "O number
13." Oh, you got to have one here. That's right. Or like, somebody say
that; go ahead.
E-50 All right. Indian. Somebody
who can speak Indian. Apache, I suppose. Isn't that...?... All right.
13? All right, 14, who has 14? Prayer card 14 and 15? How we getting
lined up? Is that enough? 15? All right. 15? All right. That's... They
need... We need an Indian interpreter. If there is somebody can
interpret the Apache dialect. Why, come if you will. And if... Spanish.
The ushers and them are calling for that interpreter. All right. Have
you got one now? You got--you got an... you... They got it in Spanish.
All right.
Need an Indian interpreter. Amen. Are they all... All right, now.
Where's the organist? Right here. Now, let's--let's all be just as
reverent as we can now.
E-51 And now, Christian friends,
I want you all to remember this. That I'm your brother. And I--I'm
subject to mistakes like everyone else. Now, but I'm not here to
just... This is not a stage show, by no means. This is a religious
meeting. It's where we're trying to represent Jesus, with all of our
heart, by a Divine gift and by His Word. His Words are true. And if His
Words isn't true, then He isn't Jesus. If He's Almighty God, He can do
all things, is that right? And if He can't do all things, He's not
Almighty God. Is that true? So everyone be reverent. Be in prayer. Be
with one accord.
Now, how many people in the building here, anywhere around, that does
not have prayer cards, and yet you want God to heal you, just raise up
your hand, say, "I want God to heal me." Well, it's just everywhere.
E-52 Now, if our Lord Jesus can
heal one person, He can heal all the people. And now, the only thing
you have to know this, is to believe His Presence is here, to believe
that He is here to help you. And if you believe that and will accept
that, then He can help you. And I trust now, that you'll do that, each
one of you will be reverent and believe on Him with all your heart.
God sent Him to you. He died for your sins. He died for your sickness.
You're here; your doctor has done all he can do. There's nothing else
could be done by the doctor. And the only one you can look forward to
now is Jesus Christ.
E-53 Now, what if He was here as
resurrected and standing here in a body form. What kind of... What did
He do when He was here on earth? If He is the same yesterday, today and
forever, what kind of a work did He do here on earth? He didn't claim
to be a Healer, did He? But He paid the full price for healing. He was
the One Who paid for your healing. Is that right?
Your healing come because of transgressions. Is that true? See,
sickness is a attribute of sin. See? It's an attribute of sin. Sickness
come because of sin. Before we had any sickness--had any sin rather, we
had no sickness. Then after sickness came... After sin came, rather,
sickness followed it. See? Maybe nothing you done but something you've
inherited from some of your people.
E-54 So then, we've got to deal
with sin every time. And if you can't deal with sin, without dealing
with sickness, you can't. 'Cause it's the same atonement.
And now, when He was here, He--He paid the price for your healing. But
He done great miracles. And Who--Who did He say did those miracles? His
Father, is that right? He said His Father was in Him. But He saw
visions. He knowed what was wrong with people. He knowed what they'd
done in their life. But He said Hisself that He did nothing except the
Father showed Him first by a vision. Is that right? That's what--that's
what He said.
And then He said, "The things that I do, shall the church also," after
His resurrection. Did He say He'd do it? Then if He... If that
Scripture is true, which we know it is, then He's the same tonight that
He was then. He's with us. And if He will bring Himself down,
promising, from glory, and reveal Hisself here in the church tonight in
that manner, will you all accept Him as Saviour and Healer? Will you do
it? God bless you.
E-55 Now, kind Father, may these
things be brought to pass. Have mercy on Your poor unprofitable
servant. And I pray that this will be the time that the Lord Jesus
Christ will be made known to manys of the peoples here, all that's
present. May sinners realize that they must come to judgment. And maybe
before the night is over, right in this meeting here, they may never go
from the door. God be merciful, knowing that a great endless eternity
lays before us.
We pray that You'll manifest Your Son Jesus Christ tonight, through
Your servant, that it might be known that Thou art God, I be Your
servant. For we ask it in the Name of Your Son Jesus. Amen.
E-56 Now, I have to say this
according to the state law: I am not responsible for any critic that
would be near, anyone who is indifferent or criticizing. Because
remember, if... Diseases are spirits. And they leave one person;
they'll go to another. Anyone knows that's the Scripture, is that
right? So upon an unbeliever, I'd have no control of it at all. I would
on a believer, but not on an unbeliever. So be it known.
Now, in the Name of Jesus Christ the Son of God, I take every spirit in
here under my control for the glory of God.
E-57 How do you do, lady?
'Course anyone knows, as we're standing here, that I would... I guess
we're strangers to each other, are we, lady? I never seen you in my
life. We're perfect total strangers to each other. But if Jesus Christ,
the Son of God, was standing here in a body of flesh as I am, well, He
would know what your trouble was, or what you wanted, or whatmore, what
about you. He--He would know wouldn't He?
But now, for healing, He'd say, "I did that at Calvary." So, when He
would... If He would come then and would speak through me, His servant,
that He would know--could say the same thing, couldn't He? It was
just... It might be my lips a moving, but it wouldn't be my voice
speaking. It'd be something else. Is that right?
E-58 Now, do you... You are a
Christian. I see that. You're a Christian believer. And... But now, as
we talk, just like our Lord talked to the woman at the well. Have you
been in meetings before, some of my meetings? One before--two of them.
This meeting? Oh, I see. I see. Eight years ago when I was here. Well,
then you... That was a quite a visit.
I'm just talking to you, waiting for something to happen, sister. That
is, the Holy Spirit. Without that, I'd just be as helpless as anybody
else. But I have to have--have that anointing and His Spirit.
You are becoming real small before me. If Jesus the Son of God,
standing present could make known your trouble, like He did the woman
at the well or so forth, you'd accept Him then as your Healer or
whatmore? You're suffering now with a--a--some sort of a nervous
condition. You're extremely nervous.
E-59 Then I--I see a doctor that's standing by. It was... it's... Your having some kind of a trouble in the neck, kind of a--a trouble, it's a swelling like, or something takes place in the neck. And that doctor done something to your neck, where... It was an operation. He took something out of your neck. It was a goiter. But say, that's been years ago, four, five years ago. You wasn't as gray as you are now. Then I... There's something wrong with your--with your arm. It's your left arm, I believe. Isn't that right? It's a bone. Something wrong with a bone. The doctor's doctoring it now, to be...?...
E-60 Those things true? They are
true. Then you believe that He--He was standing here, and He's the One
Who knows those things? That was my... not my voice, that was Him. And
if I pray and ask Him, you think now, while His anointing is here like
that, would you get well? Come here.
Merciful heavenly Father, in Your Divine Presence we now stand, knowing
that someday we got to meet You, give an account of our lives. And we
pray for mercy, dear God. Now, bless our sister, and may she go from
here a well person. May she get healed tonight, as I lay hands upon her
asking for mercy, in the Name of Jesus, the Son of God. Amen. God bless
you, sister. Now, go and may the Lord be with you.
E-61 [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]...
are out there. You who are sick, He knows every one of you.
You speak English? You believe me to be His servant? Then if I be His
servant, well then, I could--I could help you, if I could, only by
prayer, is that right? The only way that I could help you...
Look here, just a moment. You have a strange thing on... I see you
trying to smell at something. It... You--You're--You've lost the sense
of smell. You don't smell no more, is that right? Will Jesus give it to
you tonight? Restore? Will you serve Him all your life? Come here.
Kind heavenly Father, in the Name of Your beloved Son, Jesus, I now ask
that this sense of the body that's been missing from our sister, will
return. For I ask it in Jesus Christ's Name. Smell? She can smell now.
You are healed. God bless you.
E-62 He heals all the sick and
the afflicted. There's nothing that He... Which--where's the patient?
This man? Oh, don't speak... You, interpreter? Now, here's a man that
cannot speak English now. Now, how could I be reading his mind, and he
couldn't speak English. I shall talk to him a little while. You shall
see the way it happens in foreign countries, where they don't speak...
You--You just interpret. Don't look... You just don't look... You--you
just listen at me say to him. I've got to catch his spirit. See? Do you
believe me to be God's servant? That's the confession of his faith.
If... are... You and I are strangers to each other? I do not know you.
If Jesus Christ, the Son of God has risen from the dead, He promised
that the things that He did, His servants would do also. You... Then
you believe that I am able to do this, through Jesus Christ? He does?
The patch on his neck is a cancer. You are also a Catholic. You have a
wife. She is Catholic too. She's suffering with an inward trouble. That
right? She's setting right down here. Ask if he believes now. He does
too. Come here.
E-63 Our kind heavenly Father,
in the Name of the Son of God, Jesus Christ, may this be condemned,
this demon that's taking his life. And may he and his loved one live to
be happy and old. Grant it, Lord. I condemn this disease in Jesus
Christ's Name. Amen. Tell him, "Only believe."
Now, you're the interpreter, I thank you for your... God bless you. By
being so kind, I see you have something on your heart too. You're a
minister of the Gospel, isn't that right? It's somebody connected with
you in this audience. It's that little girl setting right there. She's
a--a niece. And she has asthma. Is that right? Go lay your hands on her
for the kindness of God...?...
E-64 Have faith in God. Believe
with all your heart. And you shall see what the glory of the
Lord...?... If thou canst believe, all things are possible to them that
believe. Just have faith in God.
How many more you going...?... Now, in the audience and everywhere,
believe with all your heart. He... I could not heal you. Of course, I
couldn't. I'm a man. But this Spirit of God, which is here now, if
you'll just believe on Him, He will heal you. See? He will--He will
just confirm... If--if a man tells the truth, God is obligated to speak
about the person. And He said He would. God said in Hebrews 11:2, "He
testified of His gifts."
E-65 Now, what do you think
about that, lady? You keep setting looking this way so sincerely. You
believe with all your heart? If I be God's prophet, you couldn't hide
your life from me. That's right. If I could reveal to you what's wrong
with you, will you accept your healing? Heart trouble. Is that right?
Stand up. Now, you can go home, be well in Jesus' Name.
Do you believe? Now, just reverent everywhere. If you... Do you
believe, lady? You want to get over that diabetes? Believe God's going
to make you well. Stand up. Say, "I accept it." God bless you, and go
get well.
I suppose we're strangers, are we, lady? You believe on the Lord Jesus
with all your heart? I believe it. And I believe you believe me. I know
you do. For you're... Yeah, your spirit's just so welcome. And I--I
know that you believe.
Now, if you're a believer, we're strangers to each other, don't know
one another. But God knows both of us doesn't he? He certainly does.
And He is here, the One I'm trying to represent. You feel like if Jesus
was here, He'd stand at this platform? Well, He'd know all about you.
He'd know all about this audience, as the Father would reveal it to
Him. Like the woman with the blood issue that touched His garment. He
turned around. That's what happened out here, just somewhere out here,
a few minutes ago.
E-66 I want you to look this way and believe with all your heart. And--and may God help you. Because it's awfully dark around where you're standing. I'm waiting to see what He will tell me, 'cause you're a very sick person.
E-67 The first thing I say, that
you're not from this city. You're from a place called Bur--Burgess, or
Bergon, or Burgess. Yes, it sounds like He spelled "B" something. All
right. You're fixing to go home tomorrow. You're going by bus, aren't
you. Your name is Julia Majors or something like that. Is that right?
You're suffering with a... You have a hernia. You have something on
your left ankle. It's a growth. Is that right? Not showing, but
it's--it's on your ankle. I see you in a vision moving with it, doing
something to it. And you also have varicose veins in your limbs. Is
that right? It is. And you--you have kidney trouble; you have heart
trouble. You have lung trouble. You got arthritis. Go to your home. Be
well. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ...?... Almighty God, don't
make her completely whole for God's glory.
Have faith in God. Don't doubt. Just believe. All right.
E-68 How do you do, sir? I
suppose we're strangers, sir. I--I don't know you and... But--but God
does know you, doesn't He? Not perhaps until we meet in the Millennium
will you--could understand, or neither could I explain what's going on
right now in this building. Oh, I wished I could get it to you, wished
I could let you see It. All shadows would fade away everywhere. See, It
circled this building just then, that same Light went right around this
whole building just then, come right back again.
I realize I'm talking to an audience that's from a... All right. If
we're strangers, God knows both of us. I don't know you. Never seen you
in my life. May be the last time we meet, till we meet in eternity. I
hope it isn't. But it may be. Is that right? Then if God, through the
power of the Spirit of God, will let me see by a vision, just what
Jesus Christ did Himself and said we would do also. This is according
to God's Word. You believe it?
E-69 My man, you're very sick.
Your trouble is in your lungs. You have a lung trouble that's
absolutely incurable by doctors. That's... Is that right? And you're
doing the worst thing in the world against it. You're smoking
cigarettes on top of it. And your kind of cigarettes you smoke, I see
you have to pour it out in a paper and roll it like that. Is that
right? Will you stop it and give your life to Christ, right now? Will
you do it?
In the Name of Jesus, the Son of God, I condemn the devil that's bound
this poor man, and say may he be loosed in Jesus Christ' Name. Amen.
God bless you. Go, and God bless you. Live now. And may the Lord Jesus
be with you.
E-70 You believe? The kindness
of God, the mercies... Just... Oh, how that He would just... Take this
building of people just now, if you could just get--just every heart
beating the same, look like it'd just break it to pieces and just fall
all over you. I am telling you the truth. I--I--I lie not. God is
testifying I'm telling the truth. And Christian friends, I've witnessed
these things practically around the world. And it's the truth. I know
it may seem a little strange to you, but it's the truth. God is proving
it's the truth.
Just have faith. Is this the patient? You believe these things? For
somebody else, isn't it? They're not here. Two of them, and they're
young ladies. And they are both from an Eastern country. They're nieces
to you. One of them has nervousness, and one of them is in a sanitarium
or something. It's a lung, TB trouble. One of them is in West Virginia,
the other one is in Maryland, is that right?
I send a blessing to them in the Name of Jesus Christ, and may they be
made well for God's Glory. And bless you, my sister, for your gallantry
in Jesus Christ's Name, may you go and they be made well.
E-71 All right, would you come,
lady? You believe, all your heart? Would you... If I'd tell you
something, would you just obey what I said do. Now, look. You go home
and eat your supper. You had a peptic ulcer for a long time in the
stomach. Now, go eat and just thank God and rejoice and be happy. And
you'll get well.
You believe with all your heart? It's over to the corner and I can't
see who it is.
Do you want to get over the asthma? Do you accept your healing now? O
God, in the Name of Jesus, the Son of God, may her blessing come to her
and may she get healed, in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen. God bless you,
sister. Go, having faith, believing with all your heart.
E-72 If God, our Heavenly
Father, would reveal... I'm getting so weak, lady, I can hardly... So
I... If God will speak and just go right, like He did to the woman at
the well, exactly where your trouble is, do you accept your healing?
Heart trouble. All right, go. And may Jesus Christ make you well. All
right.
You believe? You believe me with all your heart? You believe that I be
able... If God will tell me exactly where your trouble is, knowing that
we're strangers to each other, will you accept your healing right now,
knowing that I'm telling you that Jesus Christ... If... In other words,
if God will let me know where your trouble is, and exactly, absolutely,
as It does every one, then you know that my words is true then, is that
right? And my words is this, that Jesus healed you nineteen hundred
years ago. Will you accept it now? It's your back, is that right? Go.
In the Name of Jesus Christ, and be made well.
E-73 Come. Speak English? Come.
You believe me as God's servant? You believe if God will let me know
where your trouble is, you accept Jesus your Healer? You will? It's
kidney trouble. That right? Now, you can go be made well. Jesus Christ
heal you and make you well for God's glory. God bless you, lady. All
right.
Speak English? No English. Is there someone here can interpret? You
don't need it. You believe? Go eat. Jesus makes you well. Heavenly
Father, I curse this disease with this stomach, and may she be made
well in Christ's Name.
E-74 You believe with all your
soul? Your heart trouble has gone. Go in the Name of the Lord Jesus and
be made well.
Speak English? Little? You're Indian? Carlos, San Carlos. Oh, you're...
All right. You have lung trouble and TB. Jesus Christ is going to make
you well tonight. You go back up and tell the tribe, "Jesus Christ
lives and reigns." Cursed be the devil that's done this to the man, and
may he go be well. Amen.
E-75 You believe? May everybody
in this building... Have faith, lady. I know when your baby's... what's
wrong with it. I'm just waiting to see what He is going to say to me.
Keep your hand on him. Keep your heart in the center of God. No need me
telling what's wrong. It's--'course its condition there, anyone can see
that.
Just only have faith. Believe with all your heart. God will make you
well. God will do it. I'm watching...?... all over the whole audience.
She's setting there with that cancer on the--the liver, setting there.
You only got one chance to live and that is, accept Jesus as your
Healer. Will you do that? And believe with all your heart that God will
make you well? You accept it? If you do you can be made well.
E-76 You with the bronchial
trouble setting there. If you... Oh, yes. If... You want believe with
all your heart. Be made well.
If every person in here wants to be healed at this time, you can be
healed right now. I want you to do something for me. I want you just
lay your hands over on each other, just a minute for a word of prayer.
Put your hands on one another.
Now, that what's coming through here is a witness of what I'm talking
about. It's the resurrected Jesus Christ. Your hands are...?... one
another. As you go through, the Angel of God is over you, making His
rebuke, and you...
