1 Thank you, brother. Good evening, friends. So happy to be back out tonight here in the Shriner Auditorium, for our fifth night of service, in the Name of our Blessed Lord Jesus Christ, to Whom be all praise and glory, forever and ever, worlds without end. 2 Last evening it was just a little difficult for me. Something happened that I very seldom have happen in a meeting. I just getting ready to make the…seeing the visions begin to break over the people, and as I started to move into the vision, something happened before me. We talked about it till, after I got to myself good, until one o’clock this morning nearly. 3 I saw Adam leave the garden of Eden willfully because…he went out because he loved his wife. I seen Jesus come and go out willfully, taking the sinner’s place, because He loved the Church. I just couldn’t keep from expressing it. And we hear that the Lord did bless, and fill with the Holy Spirit, and save the lost. After all, that’s the main thing that we’re here for.

24 Divine healing is wonderful, but Divine healing’s like the bait that’s on the hook. You don’t show the fish the hook; you show him the bait. He gets the bait, he’s got the hook too. If a man can ever be healed and see the power of God, what it does to him, he will then become a believer. That’s right. 5 Now, we’re happy to be in tonight…just a little bit late. And had to perform an operation today on my friend here, Brother Tracy. I kept telling him that that jumping cactus would get him. And so he just didn’t hardly believe it. So after a while, I found him caught up with a bunch of cactus hooked behind his legs. I didn’t have a pair of pliers or anything. We were taking a little hike on the desert to go up to sing the praises to the Lord on top of Superstition Mountain, if we could’ve gotten there. That was his ambition. So about halfway up, the cactus got him. And then we had to operate on him to get it out.

36 He done a little squealing and grunting, but we got it all out. So they don’t have that in Texas, you know, and this is new. He’s going to tell his great-grandchildren about it, you know, that he was at Superstition Mountain. 7 So we got back down late. And if I ever had a night of difficult, it’s tonight. Coming back down, and then…Thought I would go into the room early then and go to fasting, praying. We hadn’t eaten, so we decided to do that. And in the room, when I—when I went in to—to go to praying, I picked up my Bible and I felt real tired. I just set down in a chair. When they come back from the afternoon meeting, they woke me up. I went to sleep.

48 And then the lady of the house said, “Come eat a sandwich.” I hope I never have to eat a full dinner anywhere; steak about that big around with everything that goes with it. 9 And then I said, “Brother Tracy, you all do the preaching tonight, because I certainly feel kind of unqualified. It’s approaching just by grace tonight; that the Lord will bless in some way and give us of His blessings.” 10 We wish tonight to call your attention, God willing, in the Old Testament again just for a few remarks. Perhaps next week we’ll go over into the New Testament, but just for a little teaching. By the way, this is all new to me. Preach and make the altar call before praying for the sick, and, I mean, teach a little.

511 And now, before we can open the Word…We can pull the lids down like this , but it takes God to open It. The Holy Spirit takes the Word of God and just gives It right out in every heart, just as we have need for It, if we could get ourselves submitted to the Holy Spirit, to where the preacher will not try to use his own thoughts, just let the Holy Spirit move. And let the congregation not try to criticize, but just set with an open heart, and honest before God. Then we’ll have a real meeting, won’t we? So shall we bow our heads while we talk to the Author of this Book that we’re fixing to read?

612 O beloved God, we come to Thee most humbly, Father, in the Name of the Lord Jesus, to ask first, to forgive us of our sins and errors. And we’re so happy to know that we have a High Priest setting in Glory, Who can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities. Believing this, that He’s climbed the ramparts of Glory, setting way high and exalted above every Angel, Archangel, way beyond the moon, stars, and sun. And He hears the prayer of every one that’ll come humbly asking. This great telephone connection we have, as it were, taking down the receiver, calling central, Christ Jesus, asking to be plugged in to Eternity. 13 Come, Lord Jesus. Send Your Angels tonight, and may they take their positions at every seat, speak to the unsaved, those who are without Christ, going to a Godless, Christless Eternity, to a devil’s hell, when Jesus Christ died to save them from such. Help tonight, and may the Holy Spirit just get into the Word, take It right out to every heart and divide It out there severally as we have need. 14 Father, may we humble ourselves in Thy Presence. May the Holy Spirit now take a hold of every heart. Get glory out of the service, for we ask it in His Name. Amen. 15 In the 20th chapter of Numbers, we read just for a short text: And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother,…speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall bring forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so that… give their congregation and their beasts… And Moses took the rod from before the Lord, as he commanded… And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear…ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock? And Moses lifted up his hand…with the rod and smote the rock thrice, twice: and the waters came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also. May the Lord add His Blessings to the reading of His Word.

716 That was one thing that Moses did which was very contrary to God’s Word. That’s the reason we have to watch, Christian people. That’s the reason my meetings…many of them say, “Brother Branham, Brother Roberts will pray for five hundred people while you pray for five.” That’s true. But Brother Roberts does what God tells him to do. I do what God tells me to do. You see? So that’s the difference. Brother Roberts has the ministry of one type from the Lord, and I have a ministry of another type from the Lord. And we both, as God’s servants, must do what God tells us to do. 17 My ministry is not to personally contact each one. It’s to bring forth the—the full assurance of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and tell them: “Look and live.” That’s—that’s it. It’s to each and every one. Just like Moses lifting up…

818 Now see, Brother Roberts’ is the gift of healing. He prays and lays hands on the sick, like that . And got a real, predominating, hard, as we call it, bulldog faith, just stands up there with his eyes closed and believe that—that he does…that God will do it if he ask, and just lays his hands on the people as they pass by. That’s good. That’s what the Bible said do: “Lay hands on the sick and they shall recover.” 19 I can’t do that. Just as soon as I catch a person, there it begins to break. I can’t let the person go, ’less somebody snatches him through the line. And there comes the vision. Firstly, before I ever…no one ever heard me guilty of ever trying to cast out a evil spirit, till first I knew what I was doing.

920 Many times, people comes to the house that’s been in the meetings, and so forth, that failed to get healed. They wonder why. Then when they come in, maybe there’s some hidden something back in their life that they haven’t done or should have done. And maybe they’d forgotten about it. Maybe that’s the very cause that the brother laying his hands on them, or anointing them with oil at their church, whatever it was, they didn’t get healed. 21 Listen friends, you’ve got to find the cause before you find the cure. Absolutely. If you went to a doctor, said, “Doctor, I’m having a headache, just a persistent headache.” He says, “Well, take this,” and gives you a few aspirins. He’s not a doctor. He’s trying to get rid of you. 22 Now, the only thing it is, that doctor, if he’s a real doctor, he will diagnose that case till he finds the cause of that headache, then work from there. Now, if you pray for a person that doesn’t get well, then there’s something, somewhere causing it, because God’s sovereign to His Word. He’s got to stay with His Word.

1023 Peter said on the day of Pentecost, “Repent, every one of you, and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” If a man repents and is baptized, He is absolutely, God is duty-bound to give him the Holy Ghost, if he’s repented from his heart. 24 Why tarry, why wait a long time? is because there’s something here that isn’t right. Correctly. God’s got…You say, “Well maybe God just don’t want to give It to me.” 25 Oh yes He does. You take every bit of the… Well, you say, “Maybe the Holy Ghost has been, just so many.” God has got plenty of It for you. Don’t worry. Could you imagine a little fish, about that long, standing out in the middle of the ocean, swimming around, saying, “Say, I’d better drink of this water kind of sparingly, ’cause I might run out someday”? Well, that’s just about like thinking God hasn’t got enough Holy Spirit for you. That’s right.

1126 Could you imagine a little mouse, under the great garners of Egypt there, where they’re stacked with a billions of tons, and a little mouse down there say, “Well, I’d better not eat, about one or two grains a day, because I might run out this winter”? My, that’s like trying to think that God hasn’t got grace enough to save you, heal you; and He’s wanting to do it to you more than you are to receive it. That’s right. Sure, He wants to do it. 27 Could you imagine all the waters in the world, packed into a stand pipe, about this big around? It would go a thousands and thousands of miles through the air. And how the pressure of that water coming down, pressing down, trying to find one little crevice to get out of. That’s the way the love of God and the healing power is trying to pour in this meeting tonight, trying its best everywhere. God trying to make His way into a heart, with all that pressure of Divine love, and will, and—and everything, trying to press His way into the people.

1228 If you just know the right approach to it, you could walk right up and just receive it just like that . [Brother Branham snapped his fingers—Ed.] That’s all. See? Because if God promised anything, and you don’t receive it; there’s something wrong. 29 People come sometime…I haven’t time tonight to go into detail on this, I will maybe next week, on testimony. But how that people come from everywhere, say, “Well, I failed to get it.”

1330 And a lady come not long ago, saying that someone told her that she had seven devils. Another person told her she only had five, and she wanted to know where the four went. Poor woman, plumb gone, nearly, set in the room, taking off her stockings, and pulled her feet up in the chair. Said, “I haven’t eaten for several days, and I’m not going to eat till I find out what become of those devils.” Said, “What are they?” I said, “I don’t know, I never knowed nothing about it.” 31 Said, “Well one minister told me I had seven devils, and the other lady minister said I only had five. Now, there’s two of them gone somewhere.” Now see? And come, stayed there about two hours in the house, until God begin to speak, and said, “Lady, listen. You come from St. Louis.” She said, “Yes. How’d you know it?” I said, “Your husband’s on the police force.” “That’s right.” And I said, “You used to be a lovely housekeeper.” She said, “That’s right.” I said, “Recently, your house looks like a hog pen.” Said, “That’s right.” I said, “Your daughter’s over there now, taking care of your husband.” Said, “That’s right.” Said, “Who told you that?” I just kept talking ’cause I was in a vision. And I said, “You went down to a little place. First, you went to a doctor.” “Yes.” “He give you shots.” “Yes.” “Those shots was called hormone.” “Yes.” I said, “You went down to a place, and they told you, you had devils.” “Yes.” “Because you had a real funny feeling.” “Yes.” “They sent you to California.” “Yeah.” “And some man told you, you had seven devils.” “Yes.” “You went to a woman. She said you had five devils.” “Yes.” “And they told you to come to me.” “Yes, that’s right.” Said, “How did you know that?” I said, “The Holy Spirit said so.” I said, “You haven’t got any devils to begin with. That’s right.” She said, “I haven’t?” 32 I said, “No.” I said, “Lady, surely you know your mother went through the menopause. It’s the menopause, something natural.” And I said, “What do you think hormone shots are for?” She said, “I don’t know.” 33 I said, “For the change of life, that’s what it is. No devils at all. It’s just absolutely it—it’s just your condition of life.” She begin to relax. My wife was cooking some bacon and eggs out there. She begin to look through the house. And I said, “Kind of hungry?” She refused to eat, first. Said, “Yes.” She went out and ate three eggs, a big bunch of toast, two cups of coffee, a lot of jelly. And she was just happy as she could be. She said, “Brother Branham, are you going to pray for me and cast it away?” I said, “Cast what away?” She said, “The—the—the thing.” I said, “There’s nothing to cast away.” She, “Well, I never felt so good in my life.” Said, “What must I do?” 34 I said, “Go home. Straighten up your house; cook your husband a nice, big, apple pie, about that thick. When he comes in tonight, throw both arms around him, kiss him, set down, and get on his lap, and tell him you love him, and live like a lady ought to.” That’s exactly. That’s all there is.

1435 But see, all the pouring on of oil, all the stomping, kicking, all the loud hollering, wouldn’t do a bit of good. It’s the truth that makes you free. That’s true. “Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.” See, that’s right. 36 So, many times, sure, in a group, you’ll find lots of people with, when you bring three or four hundred people through the line, there’s many, clean, pure hearts in there that comes right through and gets healed. That’s right. But there’s some that we have to get back and pick up the strugglings, like that, that fails it. Now we can only do as God says do.

1537 Now, did you know if a man, that was given power, or, faith, not power, not himself to do it, but faith in God to do it, to cast out an evil spirit, and would do it outside of God’s will, would get hisself in trouble? 38 Look at Moses tonight. He was a prophet. You believe he was a prophet? Oh, he was the prince of prophets. That’s right. Never was a prophet on earth like Moses. Course, Jesus was; He was—He was Divine. Moses was just a man. But Moses in every way, a type of Christ: birth, law-giver, high priest, oh, everything to…just in type of Christ. And notice that God give him power, and he went out there and did something with that power which was contrary to God’s will, but he did it anyhow.

1639 You remember the prophet, the young fellow in the Bible name Elisha? He kind of went along with the real prophet, and poured water on his hands. He kind of kept his company right. And when Elijah died, or was taken up, rather, translated, the spirit of Elijah come upon him. 40 And the fellow was baldheaded, when he was young. And he was going down the street, some little children begin to tease him, call him “Old bald head.” And when he did, he turned around, in anger; he kind of had a lot of temper anyhow. And he turned around in his anger and cursed those children in the Name of the Lord. And two she bears killed forty-two little, innocent children. Now, that ain’t the nature of the Holy Spirit, but that’s an angered prophet. See? 41 I heard some of you kind of…your spirit kind of moved back when I said he had a temper. He did. Look at him when Jehoshaphat and them come down. He got his righteousness indignation then all stirred up. He said, “If it wasn’t I respected the presence of Jehoshaphat, I wouldn’t even look at you.” Had to play some music, get him back in the Spirit again. Is that right? Sure was.

1742 So Moses, this great warrior in the time now, that God had promised Abraham, that in this great longsuffering, that someday, He was… The people would sojourn for four hundred years in a strange land. And during this time…Remember, there was a lapse of time. Listen right close a minute. There was a lapse of time. It wasn’t exactly four hundred years; it was four hundred and twenty years. Because, of the—the condition of the people. Moses came in the right time to bring the people out, but they rejected the messenger. So it taken another forty years, a lapse of time, which made it run over four hundred and twenty years. 43 The same thing it was in the antediluvian world. The time was already set at hand, but through the longsuffering: “God not willing that any should perish, but that all might come to repentance.” See the lapse of time in the antediluvian destruction? See the lapse of time in the delivering of the children of Israel? So I want you to catch it close now, listen.

1844 Now, get my words straight. Don’t say, “Brother Branham said, ‘Jesus should have come.’” But I believe that the Coming of Christ is past due, way past due. That’s where all the theologians and everything knowing it must be in a certain time… I think, well, there’s where the prophets could set, say, “It’ll be sometime within that era of time.” And they missed it, because the longsuffering of God, not willing that John Doe, setting here tonight would perish, but wanting him to come to repentance. Not willing that Mrs. Doe, sitting here, and all the little children, that they would perish, but longsuffering. 45 He sent Brother Roberts in, gave a great meeting. He sends the other men in, give a great meeting. Now He sent us in, God is giving us a great meeting. “Not willing that any should perish, longsuffering.” 46 The bomb that would probably burst every atom in the earth is hanging yonder in Russia tonight; ought to have been fired a long time ago, but God is longsuffering, not willing that any should perish: past due.

1947 God promised them that He’d bring them out under a mighty hand. And all of those things there of the pilgrimage, from the children of Israel camped out down in Egypt… We know the story how God sent them down there, and they had their habitations, got in Goshen, and become a great popular, through the prophet, Joseph. And then, after the time of the promise drew nigh, there raised up a Pharaoh who did not know Joseph. We’re going to have one raise up, one of these days, that knows not Joseph. 48 After a while, the time drew nigh, God sent a saviour to them. I think the greatest mistake that Israel ever made was the 19th chapter of Exodus, where after grace had already provided a saviour, had already provided a lamb, had already provided deliverance, and then they said, “Let us do something.” See?

20They don’t…they want to do something. Man’s always trying to find some way to save himself. Right here it is. That’s his nature. 49 In the garden of Eden, the man, as soon as he found out he was lost, he made hisself a religion, a fig-leaf apron, and put it over him. You see why I think Eve was so beautiful? See? See why I think these things, these strains…That’s the strain of man yet tonight. Even after four thousand, yes, nearly six thousand years, man’s still trying to cover his own sins by his own merits. 50 He will quit eating meat, he will keep all kinds of days, and—and, oh, he will—he will tear hisself down. He will try everything that he can to save hisself, when it’s so simple that even a fool couldn’t fail to find it. That’s right. The Bible said so.

2151 Just simply, “By grace are you saved through faith.” He will try to mystify it, and have all kinds of seeing lights, and hearing sounds, and everything, and all kind of mystifying things to get people to be saved. Maybe someone did see it, but that don’t mean all has to see it. You just believe it. That’s it is. And God has His program, and He will set you and place you in Christ, just where He thinks you’ll work best for Him, if you’ll just stay in your calling. 52 Don’t try to get somebody else’s calling. Stay in your own calling. If you’re a housewife, remain a housewife. Whatever God has called you to do, just remain there. He knows where to put His hand on you and use you. 53 He had a little, ol’ woman named Hannah, one time, little housewife. He knowed where to place her, what He was going to do with her. He had one named Mary, one time. Oh, my, He will just do with you whatever He wants to do, if you’ll just let Him do it. Just be humble, submit yourself to Him, and walk on.

2254 Now, when the time of the promise drew nigh, well then, God sent Moses down… I’m going to try to quit in about fifteen minutes, if I can, so I want to…don’t want, take too much time, ’cause I’ll get to preaching, then I won’t have the prayer line. I want to pray for the sick tonight. 55 Billy just told me, out there, a few minutes ago, said, “Daddy, I give out a whole group of prayer cards today, this afternoon around.” So I want, try to pray for as many as I can. So look.

2356 Then when the time come near, God had raised up Moses to do the work that God had ordained him to do. And Moses went down into Egypt, and with a mighty hand brought the children out from under the bondage. Brought them to the Red Sea and crossed over on their journey to the promised land; very, very, beautiful type of the church today. Aren’t you glad you come up out of Egypt? Pull the stakes out from the old garlic pots, and flesh pots, and things of the world, dances and carrying on of the world, and now, pitched up in Beulah Land, having a camp meeting out here. We have our ups and downs, but we’re still going towards the promised land. The Pillar of Fire is still marching on, building new camps every year. Is that right?

2457 When Martin Luther built the first camp, he organized it so tight he—he just couldn’t be nothing else but a Lutheran. God come right along, moved the Pillar of Fire out, the children followed It. Wesley brought the Message. Then the first thing you know, Wesley organized it so tight, till he couldn’t move. Then, first thing, the Pillar of Fire moved out, here come the Pentecostal to get out, going right on with It. The Pentecostals organized so tight till they’re fussing whether they’re Oneness, Twoness, Threeness; one hump camel, two hump camel, three hump camels; this way, that way, that way; God just moving right on out, leaving them. That’s right. The Holy Spirit’s moving on, children’s following It. 58 Oh, won’t it be wonderful when one of these times, He will break the eastern horizon, and the screams of Heaven will come in, and down through that Lifetime will come the Blood-washed saints. Watching, praying, looking every day, keeping our robes washed in the Blood of the Lamb, renewing our faith each day as we walk, believing on Him, hearts open to receive anything that He will send. Believing all things, hoping all things, enduring all things; that’s love, God. God is love.

2559 Notice Him now. And when they got to the Red Sea, the Red Sea got in the way of God. Think of that. The Red Sea got in God’s way. God was moving on with His children. Do you believe He’s with His children today? “A little while and the world won’t see Me no more; yet ye shall see Me, for I will be with you, even in you to the end of the world.” God moving with His children. 60 Now, notice, here’s another beautiful picture; we don’t get too much into it. But notice that when Pharaoh’s army was just about to overtake Israel, because they had to halt, the sea was before them, an obstacle, but before God could move them through the sea, and move back the sea, the Pillar of Fire went over and stood between Pharaoh and Israel. And what was light to Israel was dark to Pharaoh. You see it? If you won’t accept the truth, it’ll become darkness, and you’ll walk in darkness. “He that sins willfully, after receiving knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sin.”

26They marched on. Walked in the light, the beautiful light, Come where the dewdrops of mercy are bright; You remember singing the old song? Shine all around us by day and by night, Jesus, the Light of the world. 61 Israel marching on, yet there was a—a sick spell in front of them, or an obstacle of some sort. And as Israel marched down to the sea God caused a mysterious thing to happen. He opened up a little crack yonder in the atmosphere or somewhere, and blew down a hard wind from His nostrils, and blew it real hard, and it just dried up the sea, and she got scared and moved her walls back, and Israel marched across on dry land. Oh, isn’t that marvelous? 62 Now remember, that same God is here tonight. He wasn’t back there only; He’s forever the same. He changes not. And He gives the same kind of a signs of evidences that He is in the camp.

2763 Listen. I will drop this on just for a minute. Any time, any place, any part of the Bible, where God’s Message is going, there was signs and wonders following It, always. Never a still ritualistic thing. They died when they got without a vision, perished. The judges, during the time of the judges, nothing happened; just a very, cold, formal, ritualistic affair. God wasn’t in the camp. But as soon as God came in, then signs and wonders begin to take place. Do you see what I mean? 64 Notice. Then God opened up the Red Sea and Moses and…led Israel across the Red Sea, and the uncircumcised, ritualistic, ones that rejected the Light, refused to walk in the Light… God being longsuffering, give them plenty of time to believe it. He give them signs and wonders, and so forth, and they shut up their faces from it. “I don’t believe it. I believe it’s witchcraft.” You get it? And they refused to receive it. They, being uncircumcised in the heart and ears… “Faith cometh by hearing, hearing by the Word,” receiving the Word brings new Light. And if they strived to cross like the—the Israelites did, the sea gave way and destroyed every one of them. See it?

2865 Then notice, here is a beautiful thing of every believer that once takes his stand for Christ Jesus. Remember, they come forth…why? Why was God favoring them? Because they was a redeemed people, redeemed by the blood of the lamb. God had brought them into full assurance, and had redeemed them from death, and was taking them to the promised land. You see it? 66 No wonder God could work with them. They were under the blood. He couldn’t see their sins, because it was hid by the blood of the lamb, redeemed, marching forward. None of their business to say, “Well, wait a minute, let me look out and see what that’s going to be, how we going to do this.” They didn’t even use their own knowledge. They only followed the Spirit.

2967 And every man that’s borned again tonight doesn’t try to figure out his own…with his own mentality, for it’s so weak, it’s human, full of corruption. But he seeks after the things of God. Here it is. “There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus, that walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” 68 The Indian friends, last evening’s coming up here, there’s a little, lovely, little Spanish woman come up crying, the tears running down her cheeks. I never said nothing. I reached over to shake her hand, she’s probably sitting here tonight, and she had a gallstone trouble. I seen a vision break over her. She took hold of my hand, she kissed me on the back of the fingers, like that . She looked up like that , just as satisfied. And God, my Judge here, if she’s here now, she knows she’s free of gallstones. 69 There was a little, Indian maid walked up there in her humble simplicity, her staring, black eyes looking this way, she kept searching till she caught mine. A little smile tricked across her. She had a breast trouble. She’d stuck a pencil in her breast, years ago, and it hurt her breast. She’d had an awful time with it. If she’s setting under the sound of my voice, don’t you worry, sister. Your faith make you whole; you’re going to get well. That’s right. Watch them in the simplicity of walking, their faith moving, I thought, “There’s no need of telling her about it, ’cause she’ll find it out after a while, anyhow.” Just…When God’s done it that settles…You couldn’t tell everything, just going every way.

3070 So I was just thinking of after they had crossed, they was separated people. God requires total annihilation from sin. Isn’t that a word for a Calvinist to say? But that’s right. God requires total annihilation. And how can you do it as a man? You can’t. But Christ did it for you. And you just abide in Christ. That’s all. God can’t see the sin at all, ’cause He has to see the Blood first, and He can’t see through the Blood. If He’s looking through the Blood, He sees you’re white. Just stay in Christ, that’s all. Isn’t that simple? 71 And we’re in our pilgrimage; we’re going to have our up and downs like they did, our jubilee times, and our up and downs, but we’re on our road.

3172 Now, look at this. After crossing, after they looked back and seen the old taskmasters dead behind them, it caused a little jubilee time. I believe in having those once in a while, don’t you? It kind of shakes off all the ashes, you know. 73 I was standing, not long ago, by, up Chicago, a few weeks ago, when I was watching there on Lake Michigan, the ice froze around everywhere, that great, big, old sea waves coming in like that , dashing, flashing, angrily, like it was trying to get in. I thought, “Well, what’s that dashing like that for?” And I thought, “Well, you know what? There’s no more water in it right now, than it is when it’s perfectly calm, only it’s just having a revival.” That’s all. That’s right.

3274 When you believe the Lord Jesus, that settles it. Jesus Himself said, “He that heareth My Words, believeth on Him that sent Me, has everlasting Life, and shall not come into condemnation, but has already passed from death to Life.” Now, we need a revival. 75 I thought, “What does the sea jump like that for?” Well, there comes a mighty, rushing wind down and causes a revival. Same amount of water (That’s right.), but it’s got a revival. What does it do? It throw…floats all the trash up on the shore. We need a scouring out once in a while. God gives us a revival, and a sweeping mighty wind, that rushes down through the church like that , and floats all the trash out of us. God purifies us by the Holy Spirit, the Wind that comes from Heaven that shakes your soul, scours you out. Still the same creature, but you got scoured out. See? That’s right.

3376 Now, Miriam and them, looking back, and saw that separation, annihilated from their enemies forever. How long? How long was they going to be safe from them? “These Egyptians that you see today, you’ll see no more forever.” Amen. Put them in the Sea of Forgetfulness and remember them no more. That’s what kind of a God we have; not goes and digs it up again, and holds it against you. “I forget about it.” Amen. 77 Oh, my! No wonder Miriam had a heart spell. She picked up a tambourine, begin to dance, and jump down the banks. Oh, you know the Holy Spirit, look like, just catches from one to another, like a atoms in a relay. See? And it begin to jump from one to another, and they all got tambourines, and just had a real jubilee. And you know, Brother Moses got so happy, that he held up his hands and sang in the Spirit. If that ain’t a holy-roller meeting, I never seen one. That’s right. This is nothing new. It’s just a new case of the old. That’s right. 78 There they was, singing in the Spirit, dancing in the Spirit; beating all the music, clapping their hands. What a time they was having. Why? They was annihilated from their enemy. Amen. He still does the same thing, under a better covenant, way better than the old covenant.

3479 Now, God promised He’d supply all their needs; not their wants, now, their needs. So they come out with just a little bit of bread, enough to last them for about one day. God doesn’t want you to hang onto the things you once had, hang onto your old habits, and things that you once had. Cut loose of them. God will give you something else better. That’s right. Did you ever try? He will. 80 You say, “Well, I just couldn’t.” Yes, you can; you just let loose one time and let God. Just let loose and let Him show what He can do about it.

3581 Now. And then when they looked, the next morning when they got up, there was something supernatural had happened. They were hungry, breakfast time, and they had waffles with honey the next morning for breakfast. That’s right. Said they had the little wafers that taste like honey, wafers already cooked, and sent down with honey on them. Brother, you can’t beat that. That’s good for any breakfast. Yes, sir. Waffles and honey, they just smack their lips on it. And it was a type. 82 That was Christ that came down from Glory, humiliating Himself, in the form of the Bread of Life, Life-giving for the journey. And it never ceased to fall until they went into the Millennium. Amen. That right? 83 That same manna fell constantly every day except Sunday, every day the same, until they went into the Millennium, the type, over into the promised land. And that’s where all the Hebrew prophets, through the years, has looked forward to the Millennium. And the same Holy Ghost, which was a type that fell on the day of Pentecost, will continue the same until the Millennium sets in. Men will still have the Holy Ghost, and the same things will take place, all the way through (That’s right.) until the Millennium age.

3684 Christ, the Bread of Life, come down from Heaven, humiliating Himself, giving His Life, that through His Life, we might have journeying mercy. Where did that come from? Out of that Pillar of Fire. That’s where it dropped out of. He was up there. That was Christ, Himself, the Logos, the Angel of the Covenant, that Moses forsook Egypt, not knowing where he was going, but he was on his road, the children of Israel followed. That God promised that the Angel would lead him. And look, God said, “I will put My Name in Him. He won’t pardon your transgressions, so beware of Him.” He hadn’t been made flesh yet to dwell among us, to shed His Blood to take away our sins. So the blood of lambs and goats was very, very fragile. It would break easy. 85 But now, the Blood of Christ, once shed, cleansed until the Day of redemption. All the way through, once perfected, through the sanctifying process of the Holy Spirit, by the Blood of the Lord Jesus, that believer is anchored until the Day of redemption. What? Yes, sir. Ephesians 4:30 says, “Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby you are sealed until the Day of redemption.”

3786 Don’t that just take the scare out of it now? God is with us. Although you sin, you got an Advocate. Tell God you’re sorry, come on back. That’s the way to do it. Don’t think you’re cast off forever. As long as you still have enough desire to come to this church, come on. God is still with you. That’s right. Sure He is. 87 Yes, He will just keep moving, as long as you’ll…as He’s called you. He’s still in the saving business to call you. And all that’s calling, He’s still wooing at your heart: “Come on, no matter what you done.” God still wants to forgive you, take you back, love you a little bit, and hug you up to His bosom, give you a few spiritual vitamins, put you back in the church, in your position again. He came to redeem, to seek and save that which was lost.

3888 Now, notice. The manna fell, and they eat it, and it was the Bread of Life that sustained them all the way through the journey. And the day they entered into the type, the Millennium, over in the other promised land, where they could, like we are, to live for a thousand years without death, when they entered into that land, then the manna ceased to fall, a very beautiful type, as the Holy Spirit is falling today, which is the Manna from Heaven. The day that we enter the Millennium, Christ, the Son of David, will set on David’s throne (Amen.), won’t need any Holy Spirit then, because Christ will be here Himself, in a body form, as King Jesus. Then all the nations is sure going to beat their plowshares, or, their pruning, or, swords into plowshares, and war is over then; going to have some rest around here. The whole world’s going to rejoice, and the jubilee year will come. 89 Notice. Now, as they journeyed on…I have to hurry; I got about five minutes longer. Notice. They got over there then, and aft-…Isn’t it strange, even although redeemed by the blood, I want you to notice a person cannot be sinless in himself, takes an atonement.

3990 After seeing all those miracles and things that God did for them, they still grumbled and complained. God’s love, not willing…One day God was going to take the whole group of them out; start with Moses, and raise a new generation. And Moses (Here’s the power of a believer.) throwed hisself in the breach for the people, said, “God, don’t cross over me. Take me first, ’fore you take them.” Notice. And God could not cross Moses. The love of that people, Moses had. The heart of God seen that and couldn’t cross over His prophet. Oh, my! Can you see it? what prayer can do? Change God. Yes, after God’s already spoke something that’s going to be, prayer can change it. 91 Hezekiah was told by the prophet that he was going to die; put his house in order, for it was THUS SAITH THE LORD. The king turned his face to the wall, and begin to weep bitterly, and said, “Lord, I beseech You to consider me. I’ve walked before You with a perfect heart.” And when he did, looks like God would’ve talked right back to the king. He’s the biggest, greatest man in the land.

40But God has a way of doing things. He went back out and told the prophet, said, “Now, you go back and tell him.” 92 How humiliating it was to Isaiah, after coming out of the palace, to all the celebrity, “What about our beloved king?” “THUS SAITH THE LORD, he’s going to die.” Walked out to the soldiers, “What about our king, oh, prophet of God?” “THUS SAITH THE LORD, he’s going to die” (weeping). Went out to the poor people at the gate, “What about our king?” 93 “THUS SAITH THE LORD, he’s going to die.” Gets out there and sets down in his little cabin, weeps a little bit for the king, picks up his Scriptures and goes to read It. Here come a vision down. God stood in the vision, said, “Go back and tell him I heard his prayer.” 94 Here he comes right back again, all the poor people at the gate, “THUS SAITH THE LORD, he’s going to live.” Right back up again, “THUS SAITH THE LORD, he’s going to live.” Brought him a little sack of figs along, made him some poultices, and put it on the king. Third day he went to church to worship. Prayer changed from death to life. “Prayer of faith shall save the sick, God shall raise him up.” There you are.

4195 All this grumbling, and the first thing you know, because they begin to grumble, God cut off their water supply. That’s what’s the matter with the water supply today. That’s the reason we’re not having any revival in America: grumbling, complaining. “You don’t belong to the Assemblies; you’re not in it.” 96 “No, you have to be this , or you have to be the Church of God. You have to be a Baptist or Methodist. You have to be this , that …” Oh, that’s the reason we can’t get nowhere (Yes, sir, it wasn’t for the sovereignty of God, He’d shut the whole thing off, that’s right.): grumbling of the people. 97 I tell you, brother, as long as people argue, and complain, and grumble about their church affiliations and denomination, you’re still carnal, walking with carnal mind, like little ol’ kids. Why don’t you grow up and be a man once in a while? Look the overall picture. What difference does it make what church you belong to, as long as you’re a child of God? Not a bit.

4298 Mr. Baxter used to tell me a little story. In Canada they was going to give a Schwinn bicycle, or some kind of a bicycle, for any boy who could ride a twelve-inch plank for a half a city block without falling off. He said, “My, I know I’ll get that.” He’d go downtown and get a sack of groceries, come back, and never even put his hand on the handlebars. Said, “I…many of the boys…” 99 They had a little, ol’, sissy boy around there. He entered the contest too. So they all got up, and every one of them fell off the board, but the little, ol’, sissy boy. So after it was all over, the boys got him out, said, “How did you come to ride it?” 100 Said, “I’ll tell you what’s the matter, boys.” Said, “Each one of you took a hold of your handlebars, was looking down, like this , trying to keep it on the board.” Said, “I never paid any attention what was here ; I watched the end. Therefore, you don’t wiggle if you watch the end.” Amen. There it is. You see it? Don’t pay any attention to this present condition, look at the end, the Coming of the Lord.

43101 I’d be a miserable person tonight, if I looked around now, and seen what was going on. But I’m looking to Him, the Author and Finisher of the faith. Christ, at the end, when He will come and say, “Why did you colonize yourself? Why did you take sides here and take sides there ? Why wasn’t you big enough to look up here , and know that I love ‘whosoever will, let him come’?” Amen. I say we’re brethren then, let’s stand right together. Amen. There you are. Notice. 102 Then you begin to argue and their water supply was cut off. They begin to stick at one another. Well, that’s what’s the matter with that thistle today, or that jumping cactus, brother. Didn’t have no water out there. Be a lot of water on the desert, in a few years you know what’d happen? That thing would have leaves on it, instead of stickers.

44103 That’s what’s the matter with the church tonight, it ain’t got no leaves for the healing of the nations. It’s sticking and out of water, become thorns, sticking one another, because you don’t belong to a certain organization; stickery. Pour on the Water, that’s what you need: the Holy Spirit.

45104 Grumbling, carnality; cut off their water supply. Would you imagine a people that left the muddy waters of Egypt to drink from the spiritual Rock, and was still complaining? Could you imagine leaving the flesh-pots and garlic in Egypt, to eat Angel’s food, and was still complaining? Could you imagine that? 105 Leaving the boasting physicians of Egypt, saying, “The days of miracles is past. There’s no such a thing as miracles anymore.” And then go out to be with the people who believe in the signs following, with a sign of a King in the camp, and great wonders and sign; a Pillar of Fire hanging over them, the blessings falling, spiritual manna out of Heaven, and still grumbling; insult to their Maker. Right.

46106 Oh, what a time. God’s still in His mercy, still merciful. Said, “Moses, go out and speak to the rock and bring them some water. They have forgot all the miracles that happened last month. They forgot how I opened up the Red Sea.” 107 Setting here sick tonight, you forgot how God saved your soul. And that was a worst of…more of a miracle than it was to heal your body. They forgot all about it, but Moses; yet in Your mercy, “Come on, I, in mercy, I am going to open the rock again. Oh, my! After I sent My Word, and they looked It over, they heard It preached, they wouldn’t believe It. Still yet in that, I’ll send gifts in the Church. I’m longsuffering. I’ll show signs and wonders, on and on.” Isn’t He wonderful?

47108 Then we go to fussing about what church we belong to. He still sends the rains, just the same, still blesses our souls, sends us revivals, raises us up evangelists, and pastors, and teachers, sets in the church gifts of healing, prophecy, and speaking with tongues, interpretations, and all this . Yet in all of our wrangling, and fanaticisms, and things, that we get into, God still sends it right on just the same, longsuffering, waiting. Surely somebody will wake up after a while (See?) before the Coming of the Lord. 109 Moses went up there then, when they were all… said, “Take the rod, and go out there, and stand before the rock. I’ll meet you on the rock.” Oh, I love that. “I will meet you on the rock.”

48110 He smote the rock the first time, brought forth waters; a type of Christ was the Rock. Look, the carnal mind would have quickly said, “The worst place in the world to try to find water was in the rock. That was the driest place on the desert. Well, surely, if there’s no water down here under the palm trees, where the spring was, there’s none up there in that rock.” Yet, God in…Why, the wisdom of God is foolish to man. “Why, it’s the driest place in the country, to try to ever find that.” But yet, God said, “Right there’s where the water is.” 111 And the people today, say, “Oh, Divine healing, if there’s anything, it’d be up in the big up-and-ups, and it’d be in the big churches, and the Vatican City. It’d be probably with the archbishop of Canterbury, some of them would have the gifts.” Or would it be in one of them little ol’ missions down on the street, where they’re clapping their hands and going on, the foolishness. “Yet, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them was lost.” Amen. Do you see it?

49112 The water is sometimes where you wouldn’t ex-…least expect it to be. Why? The carnal mind would say, “Why strike the rock? Why, Moses,” some of the dignitaries of the camp would say, “Moses, what are you going up there to strike the rock for?” “God said so.” “Why, strike it down here where water’s at.” “God said, ‘Strike it up there .’” Naaman said, “Isn’t the waters up yonder in my country, better than these muddy waters?” But God said, “Dip in these waters; this is the water.” 113 He held his nose, went down, but kind of hurt his prestige, but he sure got healed. That’s what we need tonight, is to forget our prestige, forget our own mental conception, and believe what the Holy Spirit says, and be led by the Spirit of God.

50114 Then the next time they got thirsty, they moved them out, and said, “Now, go speak to the rock, and it’ll bring forth the waters.” I wonder tonight if anybody here is out of speaking terms with the Rock. 115 Hannah, one time, she had a little, thirsty baby. It was dying. She wondered how her mistress, Mrs. Abraham, Sarah, how that they could treat her like that. She’d been a true, little worker for them. And legally, when polygamy was legal, she had married him, just as legally as it could be. And the baby come. Why she had no reason, nothing at all, what, this sudden, strange thing happened. And she was give a little bottle of water, and a basket of bread, and turned out into the wilderness to die, with the baby. She couldn’t understand it. You know what she did? The little fellow begin to holler for water when there was no water to give it out in the desert. She laid him under a bush, and went off about a bowshot, and she spake to the Rock. 116 Said, “Why are you weeping, woman. Look over here. There’s a whole fountain of water.” Still stands today, Beersheba , a well, “God looketh and seeth me.” She spoke to the Rock.

51117 There’s a woman one day who had a blood issue. And she’d spent all of her living, pawned the farm, sold all the teams, and everything, and trying to get well with the doctors. They had tried everything, and took all the money, and yet, she was no better. So she heard a little skiff move into the edge of the willows, down there one morning. She went out and spake to the Rock. She got what she asked for.

52118 Martha, very dilatory about keeping the preachers with something to eat; her sister kind of rebuked her and said she ought to do this , that , or the other . But the first thing you know…She might have been a little unconcerned, but she was listening to good things. And the first thing you know, one day, when her brother was dead, been dead for four days, she went out and spake to the Rock. And the Rock brought forth life to her brother.

53119 Poor Moses, as we’re closing, he’d followed the Rock, and one day, after he was disobedient, God told him, said, “Now, Moses, down in this wilderness of Sin, you magni-…didn’t magnify Me, down there or glorify Me. You took all the credit yourself. So I just can’t let you go over. So I want you to come up, climb up here to Pisgah. I’m going to show you what lays ahead.” I like that. I’m homesick and tired, and I want to see Jesus, I want to hear the sweet harbor bells chime; It would brighten my path, vanish all my fears; Lord, let me look apast the curtain of time.

54120 Moses, climbing the mountain, singing, looking back, tears dimming his eyes, as he climbed up there, disobedience, he’d done something wrong, yet, he’d been a servant of God. He stood and viewed the land over, all the way from Dan to Beersheba. He looked all up and down. He seen it’s in springtime, in April, and the great valley flowed through there. How beautiful it was, of milk and honey, a beautiful land. He’d certainly longed to go over. Eighty years nearly, forty years in the wilderness with these children. 121 And then when God said, “Get ready, Moses. Prepare yourself, ’cause I have to take you home, this morning.” Moses, standing looking, he felt the chilly winds of death sweeping up, his pulse coming up his sleeve. He happened to look; laying here, by his side, there laid the Rock. He stepped over on It, and the Angels took him away.

55122 About eight hundred years later, we see him on Mount Transfiguration, speaking to the Rock. That’s right. That Rock took him through. The Rock took me through, this far. “It’s grace that’s brought me safe thus far; grace will take me on.” If you’re in trouble tonight, let’s speak to the Rock. Out of Him comes forth abundance of water, not just a little drip, a whole gusher. 123 Did you realize how many people? Two million people, besides all their camels, come drank from that spring, and there was abundance of it flowing everywhere. He has plenty tonight. Won’t you come and speak to Him, while we have our heads bowed for a moment of prayer?

56124 Our beloved Saviour, this may be the last meeting that many will ever see, may be the last one that we’re privileged to set together this side of Eternity. After standing here, and speaking of Thy Word, saying that there is a Rock, and, “It’s smitten now…” God so loved the world, that He smote His only begotten Son, that out of Him might come rivers of Everlasting waters of Life to a perishing people. “God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish, but have Everlasting Life.” 125 We thank Thee. Jesus said, “Whosoever heareth My Words, believeth on Him that sent Me, has imperishable Life. He’s taken a drink from the fountain of the Spirit of Christ and can never no more come into condemnation, but’s already passed from death to Life.” 126 Thou knowest the heart of every man, woman, boy, or girl, in here, Father. I pray tonight as I commit these words to You, that You’ll deal with human hearts. And may they speak tonight to the Rock, and say, “Yes, Rock, Rock of Ages, cleft for me.” Grant it, Father, for we ask it in His Name.

57127 While we have our heads bowed, I wonder if someone would just raise your hand to the Rock, not to your brother, here, say, “Rock, Christ Jesus, Fountain of Everlasting Life, I humbly come now. I raise my hand, saying this, ‘Gush out upon me, Thy Everlasting Life.’” 128 God bless you, my sister. God bless you, my brother. God bless you. Someone else, raise your hand, here on the bottom floor, and say, “Oh, Fount of Life, I come, I come. By this I raise my hand.” God bless you, my Mexican brother. God bless you, my little brother, setting back there.

58129 “I come, Fountain of Life. I now raise my hand; truly in my heart, I believe that Christ died as my Redeemer to bring me back to God in relationship, by being a son or daughter, and in fellowship with the Holy Spirit.” God bless you, sonny. God bless you. Someone else raise your hand? Say this, “Lord, I give myself to Thee.”

59130 God bless you, little lady. I see you back there in the middle aisle. Someone else? God bless you, young man. God bless you, sir. And God bless you, young lady. That’s fine. God bless you, madam, the Mexican woman setting there. God bless you. God bless you, young lady, over here to my left. Someone else? Keep praying, keep your heads bowed. 131 They’re coming now. God bless you. You know what that means? God bless you, sister. That’s fine. God bless you, sister. Oh wonderful. You know what God said? “No man can come, ’less My Father draws him. And all that comes, I’ll give them Everlasting Life.”

60132 If you believe me to be the servant of God, and His prophet, or, servant rather, believe that the Message I speak is the truth… It isn’t carried out right, but it’s the best that I can, with all I can. It comes from my heart. Remember, the Word of God said, the very Angel of God, Who confirms the Message to be true every night, “That whosoever believeth has Everlasting Life.” Not mentally believe now; from your heart, say, “Lord, I just open up my soul. Jesus Christ promised that we’d never come into condemnation, but pass from death to Life, just by making a sign to God, ‘Here I am, Lord. I now believe.’”

61133 Someone else, while we’re…Think of that, friend. What a simple thing. God bless you, brother, old, gray-headed man, raising his hands, may be the first time in his life. Coming now, God gives thee Everlasting Life, my brother. You may have done a lot of noble deeds in your day, no doubt you have, may be a father of many children, but friend, that’s the greatest thing you ever done in all your life. When death chills you, soon perhaps, I don’t know, may be a few years yet, you’ll remember, “I raised my hand.” And when you’re going out of here, God will reveal it back to you, your hand up. “I now accept Jesus as my Saviour.” God said if you’d do that, you’ll never perish.

62134 How simple He’s made it, just longing, loving you. Will you raise your hand? Someone else on the bottom floor, ’fore we run up in the balcony, right quick, ’fore the prayer line. God bless you, mother. God bless you, gray-headed woman, saintly-looking woman, probably a good old mother, another one too, two of them, setting together. God bless you, sister.

63135 I know my words of saying, “God bless you” is not very much. But what does it mean? It means from the depths of my heart, I’m asking God to grant to you the favor that you’re asking; when He promised He’d do it. It’s so easy for me to ask Him that. He promised He’d do it.

64136 Up in the balcony to my left, anyone along there? Just raise your hand say, “I now want Everlasting Life.” God bless you, sir. God bless you, lady. God bless you, sir. God bless you, and you, and you. That’s fine. God bless you. “I now…” God bless you, sir. God bless you, lady. God bless you, the little Mexican girls at the end. I see you. God bless you. 137 God bless you, the little boy, sitting here to my left. That’s right. Look honey, I tell you the truth. Jesus gives you Everlasting Life, right now, because Something struck your little heart. And that’s the only thing you can do, honey, is just believe. God does the rest of it. Grace, He saves you. See? Be a good, little boy, and all of you along in there. Be good children of God now, serve Him. He promised He’d do it. “Because Thou promised, I believe. O Lamb of God, I come.”

65138 To the balcony to the…my right now? God bless you, sir. By doing that you’ve passed from death unto Life, as soon as you raise your hand. God bless you, honey. You do the same thing. God bless you down there, sister. You pass from death to Life when you raise your hand: that’s according to the Word of God. Why? It’s against your nature to raise your hand. Something spoke to you, said, “Raise your hand.” That’s the Holy Spirit. And then He said, “He that will come, I will in no wise cast out.” You have Life as soon as you believe, something happens in your heart. You couldn’t raise your hand unless you believed.

66139 Sincerely, if you got your hand and say, “I…here Lord, my hand. That’s all I know to do. The preacher just asked me to raise my hand and You told me if I’d come; this means I’m coming. Accept me just now, as I am. God promise, I believe. O, Lamb of God, here I am before the smitten Rock.” 140 This congregation right now is before the Rock that was in the wilderness; here now smitten Light pouring out into every believer. In a few moments we’ll raise up the Brazen Serpent, but while you’re thirsting for Everlasting Life, come drink now; It’s yours freely, given to you by grace. 141 Will you raise your hand, anywhere else in the building that hasn’t raised your hand? God bless you, young man. May the Lord grant it to you. He does. Over to my right, I see your hand, too. God bless you, son. Just by that, “This is to say that I have now accepted Him. Grace has spoke to my heart and I now believe.” Is there just another before we close, anywhere?

67142 Oh, you say, “Brother Branham, what does it mean if I put up my hand or don’t?” Oh my, on that Day, on that Day. Why am I saying these things? The Holy Spirit is telling me to say it; and you’re acting upon what the Holy Spirit is saying to you. Think of one more hand, worth (What is it in the sight of God?) ten thousand worlds. 143 God bless you, sister, back there to my right. You now have received Everlasting Life, imperishable Life. God come to your heart, knocked at your door, said, “If you’ll let Me in, I’ll give you Life.” 144 You raised your hand to Him saying, “Here you are, Lord.” He can’t cast you away. He’d—He’d have to repudiate His Word. He’d have to say something that wasn’t right. He can’t. He’s God. He has to keep His Word. All right.

68145 Oh, I see two more. God bless you up there, children. Jesus sees your hand. God bless your little hearts. Little boy’s about twelve years old; and you say, “Well, does He see that child?” Yes. And over to my left I see the little hand over in here, I believe a little Mexican girl’s. God bless you, honey. He gives you Everlasting Life right now. You have Life as sure as I’m a minister behind the platform and God… God bless you, my brother, back way back in the back. I believe a Mexican brother; I’m not sure, with his hand up. God right now gives you Everlasting Life. “He that heareth My Words, just been spoken, believeth on Him that sent Me, hath…” [Blank spot on tape—Ed.] “…and shall never perish.” Can’t perish, got Everlasting Life.

69146 Think; thirty or forty people that would’ve died a hour ago, if Jesus would’ve come, would’ve perished; right now has Everlasting Life, because they have believed and accepted the Lord Jesus. 147 Soon as the healing service over, I want you to come back in the room and have a word of prayer to God. Kneel down, say, “Lord, I’m so thankful that You saved me out there. From this night on, I’m going to be Your servant.” Will you do that for me now, at the end of the service?

70While we pray: 148 Father, thank You for every one who came and believed upon the basis of the shed Blood of the Lord Jesus, upon the Witness of the Holy Spirit, and the Eternal Word of God which lays here before us that tells us this. I now pronounce every one of them Your children in Jesus’ Name. And Father, they want to meet You back here and talk with You a little while. Oh, You just give out the Present and they received It. They want to come and thank You for It. 149 And then Father, may they live, God-fearing Christians, until death takes them from this world in the Presence of the Maker, Who spoke to their heart this night. In the hours of their dying somewhere along the roads of life, they’ll remember tonight that they raised up their hand, the most gallant thing they ever done, and accepted Jesus as personal Saviour. We thank Thee in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

71150 My, doesn’t this feel good after an altar call? You know what? It just makes me feel like a different person. Last night, I couldn’t sleep till way in the morning, seeing those Indians, white people, Mexicans standing around here, men of age and young women and young men, tears rolling down their cheeks, “I now believe.” 151 I thought, “Lord, that Day, when I’m standing back over to one side, when I see them come walking up, I’ll know them. Let me just know who they are and the night they were saved down here, by hearing the Word”; just so simple. 152 See, God has to keep His Word. See? Sometimes our theology ties us up a little, but God has got to keep His Word. “He that believeth shall not be condemned, has Everlasting Life.” Is that right? That’s what the Scripture says. Now, here’s some handkerchiefs going to the sick. Let us pray, now, for them.

72153 Precious Lord, take these unworthy hands, and as commemoration of the Bible, of when You dealt with the Jews, which we are Jews spiritually, by being dead in Christ, and take on Abraham’s Seed, have faith in God, and now, I lay myself over these handkerchiefs, with all the faith that I can pray with, asking You to heal every one, all the peoples, Thou knowest them. May each one be severally, give out where its destination’s to be determined. And may each one be healed. We ask it in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

73154 Now, we’ll pray for the sick. Do you feel real good? Say, “Amen,” if you feel good. 155 Now, I’m just a little bit late, usually running late. But we, see, we won’t be together but just a few more nights, now. Then we have to journey on. Oh, how I hate to leave a church. This has been one of the most marvelous meetings. I mean that. Oh, it’s small. I keep my meetings small so I won’t have to beg for money and things, just keep it in a little building so we can come together and fellowship around the Word. And I—I know you need your money real bad, so we don’t need very much, just, I wish I didn’t have to take any at all, just to pay the expenses, that’s all. So we—we are happy for this fellowship.

74156 I love you, that’s from the depths of my heart. I love you with the warmest of Christian love that anybody could love. As far as I know my heart, I love my brethren, mankind. Even if you’re my enemy, I say it from heart, you just misunderstand, that’s all. I love you anyhow, brother. I love you anyhow. You might disagree with me as far as the east is from the west. That’s your American privilege, but still, in my heart, God knows whether I’m telling the truth or not over this sacred desk. I still love you. I can’t help it. There’s Something in me that tells me you’re my brother. We don’t believe alike, but we’re still brothers. Uh-huh. 157 You may be fallen, but I still love you anyhow. You may be a bootlegger; you might be a prostitute. I love you anyhow. That’s right. There’s Something in here …Now me, myself, up here , I wouldn’t. But there’s Something in here that loves you. And I can’t help it. I don’t see any wrong now; I just want you to come, get right.

75158 Now, you say you give how many? P, P? All right, let’s line up a few of them then. Let’s begin, tonight with…well, let’s just start from number one, prayer card…Did you say D, or P? P. Prayer—prayer card P, on the back of it: L, M, O, P—P, on the back of it, then start…Who has number one? Is that—that…Was it from one to a hundred? You have number one? All right, number two, number three. Three? Now, look around when I call, might be somebody deaf and can’t come up, you see. Three? Would you raise your hand? Four? Number four, would you raise your hand? Prayer card P, number four. 159 Look, it might be some Indian that can’t even read. It might be some Mexican that can’t read. Look at their prayer cards. Number four. Four, all right, sir. Five? Who has prayer card number five? P, number five? Is that the lady back there? Pardon me, sister, I didn’t see you. Six? Six? Who has prayer card number six? All right, six. Seven? All right. Eight? Prayer card number eight?

76160 Raise your hand quickly, if you will, just for the sake of time. P, number eight? Is it here? Look around, if it is, put it in line. Nine? Prayer card nine? All right. Ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen? 161 Now, I don’t care how many would stand up, it’s just… it might be just to a place where you’d just have…you’d have to stand so long, and I don’t get to too many. All right, let’s try that just for a minute, looks like there’s quite a…pretty near all of them responded to it. 162 And let’s—let’s pray just a minute now. And I’m going to ask you, if you will, be just as reverent as you can, for a few moments.

77163 Our Heavenly Father, into Thy Divine Presence we present these people. Not only these in the prayer line, or these with prayer cards, we present the entire host, tonight, to You. Come Father, minister to them in the resurrection power of the Son of God. May every heart in here submit themselves to a faith of God. 164 And may Your humble servant here, unworthy to stand here, but may the Holy Spirit so take a hold of me, that I will be used for Your glory. In the power of the resurrection of the Son of God, just this mortal man, sinful, unworthy; but, Father, if You was looking for a holy people tonight, without Christ, where would You find them? They’re not here. But everyone in Christ is a newborn babe.

78165 And we’re so happy that You’ve made a way that we could work with our fellow man, and our brethren. We unrighteous ones, through the shed Blood of the Lord Jesus, comes now, presenting our faith to Thee for the healing of the sick. For we ask it in Jesus’ Name, and according to the atonement, that “By His stripes we are healed.” Amen.

79166 Now, how many, anywhere in the building, no matter where you’re at, you say by raising up your hand, “Brother Branham, I do not have a prayer card.” 167 Now, remember, some night, somewhere, sometime, we’re going to pray for every person that receives a prayer card. No matter if it takes a month to do it, we’re going to pray for every person with a prayer card, see. You hold your prayer card. If you’re not called at one night, you will be again sometime. We’ll see that every prayer card’s called, prayed for, laid hands on, every person.

80168 So now, you don’t know what night your…Each day they give out new ones, because new people comes in. And we just call out, and take a few here and stand them in the line. Now, so far as I know, there’s not a person in that line that I know, of ever seeing them. There’s Indians, Mexicans, white people, all mixed up. That’s the way it’ll be in Glory, isn’t it? I don’t know none of them, perhaps maybe can’t even speak their language, but did you know God knows every one of them?

81169 Now, I’ve preached the Word; they’ve heard that. Now, the audience is waiting to see something else. Has the really phenomenal, of the resurrection, positive power of Christ returned to the church? Jesus said, “The things that I do shall you also.” Is that right? He didn’t claim to heal anybody; He claimed that God showed Him a vision of different things. And what God showed Him to do, that’s the only thing He did. How many knows that, in this church, to be the Gospel truth, that Jesus said He couldn’t do nothing in Himself? Just exactly the only thing He could do was when God the Father showed Him what to do; and He said God was in Him. 170 Do you believe that God is in this church tonight? Well, He’s not in the spheres here ; He’s in the people. Is that right? So then, if God is in here , He could do for us just like He did Jesus, for Jesus said, “The same things that I do shall you do also, all the way to the end of the age.” Is that right? A woman touched His garment, He looked around out in the audience; He said, “Your faith has healed you from that blood issue.”

82171 A blind man cried after Him, and when his faith touched Him, and Jesus turned around, said, “Your faith has healed you.” See? Many things like that. He touched a man’s eyes one day, two of them, said, “Now, according to your faith, be it unto you.” 172 But the Father showed Him some things to do; He went and done it. Passed by sick and afflicted everywhere, and found this person that the Father had told Him to, went down there and told him, “Rise up; take your bed, and go on in your house,” walked off and left the rest of them. They said, “Why?” 173 Said, “I only do what the Father shows Me to do.” And if He’s the same today, as here: He stood on the platforms of the world at that time, in the different audiences, and perceived their thoughts in the audience. Is that right? “Same yesterday, today, and forever…”

83174 Now, I want to ask you, how many here without a prayer card, that says, “Brother Branham, tonight, by the help of God, I’m going to yield myself to the Holy Spirit, and I’m going to pray that God will turn you around to me, and let me know whether I’m going to get well, or something about me that’ll just stir my faith. I will believe.” 175 Will you do it? Everywhere, now without prayer cards, just look, you can’t hardly tell; it’s just everywhere. All right, look this way and live. The reason I say, “without prayer cards,” the one with prayer cards is going to come up here. The one without prayer cards might not, and it might be your last time. 176 Some of you setting there, big and healthy, look like it; might have a heart beating there that’s going to stop in the next fifteen minutes, twenty. Something has to be done.

84177 Here sets a poor lady, setting here, in a wheelchair. I’ve seen her two nights, I know exactly what’s wrong with her; I know what caused it. I seen her a night or two ago that I thought sure (the Angel of the Lord standing right there) the faith would come. I started to call, and I seen It went over to another lady. See? I believe she’s near the time. That’s right. You look at her, you feel sorry, say, “That’s a woman…” But remember, that woman could live for fifty more years just like that, but maybe that big, healthy man setting yonder, with a heart trouble, won’t live the rest, the night. God knows all things, doesn’t He? He knows all things. He knows what has to be done.

85178 All right, okay. Here, here she is. Excuse me, I didn’t mean that, sister. I thought that…All right, now, this lady here is to begin the first. Now, I’m going to ask you if you’ll do something for me. Now, if the engineers there, will watch this microphone… They tell me I don’t talk loud enough when the anointing comes down. I don’t—I don’t even know where I’m at, half the time. See? That’s the reason; I’m in another world.

86179 So now, if you’ll be just real reverent, and the…see Brother Brown standing here , Brother Moore here ; they’re watching every minute. That’s what they’re standing there for. They know just exactly when something happens to me that they’ve got to take me. Then when they take me, the other minister comes right to the platform, pitch right into the Spirit, begins to make the altar call, see, or do whatever he just feels led to do. 180 I try; when I feel them hitting me on the side, I know I’m supposed to make a committal prayer, and that’s about all I remember until the next day, they tell me about it. Now, may He add His blessings now, in Jesus’ Name. 181 Now, for the glory of God, and for the cause of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, I take every spirit in here under my control, in the Name of the Lord Jesus. That is, unruly things, you see, what I’m using it for.

87182 Now, the lady here, I want to talk to you, lady. Can you hear me all right? This is my voice is over this here. Now, I suppose us being strangers to each other…God knows both of us, though, doesn’t He? He knows both of us. He knows…Now, you know, lady, as well as any, I have no way at all of knowing what you want, just as a man. That would be totally impossible for me to know it. Of us, strangers, and just met right here, how in the world would I know what you want? But Jesus Christ knowed you before you were born; He knowed me before I was born. 183 You are a Christian believer; I perceive that, because your spirit’s feels welcome. As you’re conscious that something is taking place now. I want the audience to watch the woman; just watch her. She…Watch any patient that comes here. When the Angel moves near them, watch what, how they look. They’ll get white around the mouth, and something will happen to them. See? They’re standing in His Presence.

88184 Between me and the woman right now, I know, just like someone has moved right in here . I don’t see it yet. I don’t know nothing, but it’ll break through, and Something will tell her. I don’t know what she’s here for. It might be that she’s—she’s sinned. It might be that she’s sick. It might be that she has domestic troubles. I—I don’t know what she wants, but God does. So He’d have to do it, and in doing so, why you would—you would believe that it’d have to come from supernatural resource? 185 Will the audience believe the same thing? Has to come…Then if Jesus has raised from the dead now, that’s the supernatural; that’s a miracle. Is it? It cannot be explained; it’s a miracle. Then, see now, isn’t that something? You come here to ch-…knowing because He told me, “I’ll be with you,” and I believe it. I believe Him with all my heart.

89186 And now, of course now, we see you wearing glasses. Of course, we know that there’s something wrong with your eyes, or you wouldn’t be wearing glasses. But now, maybe there’s something different; that I couldn’t say; but the Lord Jesus knows. Now, just as we’re looking to each other, the Holy Spirit moving between us. And, no, it’s getting real Light around you. You’re not here for healing, because you’ve just been healed. [The sister says, “That’s right, Sunday night.”—Ed.] You was healed here; Sunday night, was it? Now, how would I know you was healed Sunday night? Something had to tell me that. Is that right? 187 Now, do you believe with all your heart? With all your heart. I see someone else. It’s a man standing by your side now, and that’s your husband, and he has arthritis. That’s right. And there’s two…you’re…There’s something else. Is your…It’s two children; it’s grandchildren. And it’s TB. And you’re come to have prayer for them. It’s THUS SAITH THE LORD. That’s true, isn’t it? Absolutely, it’s the Name of the Lord. You believe you will get what you ask for? Come here. Almighty God, Creator of heavens and earth, I bless this, my sister, in the Name of Jesus Christ, that she gets the desire of her heart. Amen. Don’t fear, sister, you get what you’ve asked for.

90188 All right, just be real reverent. Do you now believe, every one of you? Now, friends, that’s the way the meeting should be. Now everybody right now should just accept their healing. Just believe on the Lord; that settles it. You see? 189 Moses, he had a sign to do, and he done just exactly what God told him. The elders looked at it, they followed him, done just exactly what he said. 190 Oh, my, blessed be the Lord. Oh, I’m so thankful for Him. All right, is this, this…you’re the lady, the patient? All right, sister, look this way now and believe with all your heart. Now, if anything I could do to heal you, or if you’re wanting anything from the Lord, you’re wanting it from Him, not from me. See? Because if there’s anything I could do, as a man, I’d do it if I could, there’s anything to help you. But I’m so limited on things, they’re… Yeah, I might be able to scrape up a little bit of money or something like that, but that’s about all I could do. If you wanted to go somewhere, I might be able to hire a cab to take you, or something. But now, if it’s for anything beyond my reach, the only thing I can do is pray for you, but it’s God has to give it to you.

91191 But He is here. And to my teaching of the Bible that He’s already give you what you want, but you just have to have faith enough to receive it. So then through a Divine gift, maybe telling you what you want, that lets you know that you’re in His Presence, and then you’ll receive what you want. You believe that? If He will let me know exactly what you’re here for, just the one thing of what you’re here for, would you accept it right then? Say, “I believe it,” because you know it was…You will, with every bit of your heart. 192 Lady, you’re in terrible agony; you’re suffering. And I see you at a doctor, and the doctor shakes his head. You’re give up by a doctor for something; it’s cancer. Um-hum. I seen it wrote on your—your slip: Cancer. And he can’t do no more about it. And then you’re—you’re—you’re worried about a—a child. And that child…I see a Light; look like, some time ago, the child had leukemia and was healed. And—and it’s got…it’s anemia now, and you want prayer for it. Come here. 193 Almighty God, in Whom we love and trust, give blessings to this woman for the glory of God, in the Name of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, I ask it. Amen.

92194 Now, look here just a moment, sister. You believe now you get what you ask for? [The sister speaks to Brother Branham—Ed.] Ma’am? A nurse in the hospital? County Hospital? And you was the nurse? Well, God bless you. What did you have? TB of the throat. And God healed you? How long ago has it been, lady? My first meeting here. Oh, yes. Two weeks and a half, and Brother Outlaw brought me down there, that’s, I remember now, coming…God bless you. That’s right, and here you are now. Ever what was wrong, I don’t know now, but you’ll get well just the same. That’s your faith. 195 Here’s another thing you might know while you’re standing there. Your husband needs healing too, doesn’t he? He has a tumor on the brain. Hallelujah! God bless you. Amen. May God bless you, now go back and re-… Let us say, “Praise the Lord.” [Congregation says, “Praise the Lord.”—Ed.] 196 You believe? How can you keep from believing? “Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever”; unfailing mercies, never fails. Now, be reverent, everywhere.

93197 How do you do? For the child. Now, look this way just a moment, and believe with all your heart, believe that God’s going to heal, or whatever it is to be done. You believe with all your heart? All right. We’re strangers to each other; I do not know you. God bless you, mother. 198 You’ve just had a trip somewhere. You’ve come from a place. Oh you’ve been many pla-…Oh, it’s this child standing here; the child has something wrong in his throat. And the—the doctor has—has tried…You was at Dallas, Texas, with that child. I see you leaving a city called Dallas. And the doctor wants to operate on the child, and you’re afraid for the operation, because you just lost a boy, and a operation killed the boy. And the boy was operated on the brain, a brain operation for tumor, and killed the boy. And you’re afraid to, for the child. (This is a new patient.) Come here just a minute. 199 Heavenly Father, blessed be the Name of the Lord Jesus. I bless them in Jesus’ Name, that all that they ask for this night, may be granted unto them: Healing of the body, ever what they have need of, I lay my unworthy hands in the Name of Jesus Christ, as His servant, which ordained us that we should go into all the world, “Lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” I do this in Jesus Christ’s Name, as a believer. Amen. Don’t fear, sister. Go, God go with you.

94That’s what hurts you. See? [A brother asks, “You want a drink of water?”—Ed.] (Yes, that’s all right, that’s all right.) This is the man? How do you do, sir? We are strangers to each other, I suppose. 200 Was that child just at the prayer line, right there? Oh, I see. All right, I see a Light hanging over the child. No doubt what was the matter with it, God’s going to let it get well. It still hangs there, the…for the child.

95201 We are strangers to one another, brother. I do not know you; I guess I’ve never seen you in my life, but God knows both of us. You believe me though, as His servant, don’t you, brother? I…With all your heart, then I can help you to find faith in the Lord Jesus. One thing, between you and I, I see, as the vision is breaking, is a blood moving. It’s a blood condition that you have; it’s a diabetes. And you—you’ve just been in a hospital and been operated on. Around last year, and they had the limbs, the legs moved up, they were operating. It’s a prostate condition, and it was unsuccessfully; it’s still bothering you. Those things are true. But Jesus Christ is here to make you whole. Do you believe it, brother? Come here. 202 Father God, in the Name of Jesus Christ, I pray for my brother, that You’ll make him whole, and may he go from here tonight, be a well man, as I hold him to my body, as a point of contact, that the Holy Spirit is here now, Who can tell him, reveal. Let the Angel of the Lord touch him just now, by the merits of Jesus Christ, through His Name. Amen. God bless you, my brother. Go, be happy. Something happened to you; you know it is, so you…Amen. Don’t doubt, have faith now.

96203 How do you do, lady. (This the next lady?) We’re strangers to one another, I suppose? You’ve seen me before. But I mean, I don’t know you, as far as I know. You believe the Lord Jesus with all your heart? You believe me to be His servant? 204 Lady, standing on the steps with the dark glasses on, colored lady, you believe me to be His servant? You want to accept your healing where you’re standing? Your faith… Something begin to move on you just as I was talking to the lady. If that’s right, wave your hand? It’s the Holy Spirit; the Angel’s hanging over you. You’re suffering; you’re blind in one eye. And you also have a tumor that’s trying to take your life. Return to your seat and receive your healing in the Name of the Lord Jesus.

97205 You believe, with all your heart? You have a nervous trouble. And you have a bowel trouble. You got a husband that’s an Internal Revenue man. That’s right. And he’s somewhere in this building. He’s got a usher; he’s an usher in this building. Name is Della. And you live at—at 728 East Montebello, something like that, I see it on a—on a side…Isn’t that right? Return, and you get what you ask for. Your faith made you whole. 206 What if I tell you, you were healed while you were setting there, would you believe it, sister, with all your heart? Come here then. Kind, Heavenly Father, move with compassion. Grant to this woman now, that it will never be that way again, through Jesus’ Name. Amen. Have faith, believe.

98207 There It is. Audience, can’t—can’t you see That hanging over a man? Here is…he—he’s kind of an aged man. I see him suffering; it’s a—it’s a prostate condition. The man’s got thin hair, wearing glasses. Here sets the man, right there. It’s you. Yes, sir. You have a prostate condition. God bless you. You was praying, wasn’t you, sir? That’s the reason that you get healed. 208 Say, brother, you was so kind to do that; that man that just accepted the Lord Jesus a while ago, setting right next to you there, he has a stomach trouble, that Mexican brother; he wants to be healed. Would you lay your hands over on him? That’s right, sir. 209 The little lady setting next to you has stomach trouble too. That’s right, that’s right, lady. God bless you. You’re both healed. God bless you. You can go home, be made well. 210 There’s a Indian woman setting next to her. Do you understand English, Indian lady? You have a trouble in your side, don’t you? You’re healed. Jesus Christ makes you well. Hallelujah! Believe with all your heart. 211 Epilepsy, next to it. Here, that spirit moves over here . This little child setting over here has epilepsy too, setting right back there . Have faith in God; believe with all your heart. Hallelujah!

99212 Believe now; don’t disbelieve. Lady peeping over a man’s shoulders there, red-headed, yes. You’re praying, sister. You thought, “If I could get around and look at that man in the face, he will call me.” Isn’t that what you prayed for? Is that what you said in your heart? Raise up your hand if that’s the truth. Stand up on your feet now. You had asthma. That right? You peeped around there, and said in your heart, “If that man will look at me, I’ll be healed.” Is that right? If that’s right, wave your hand. That’s right. Now, you get what you asked for. Hallelujah! 213 You believe that stomach trouble left you, sir? Go eat your supper. Are you believing? You can be healed right now. Stand up on your feet, every one of you. Almighty God, in the Name of Your Son, the Lord Jesus, I condemn every sickness and disease. 
