1 [Brother Orman Neville reads Luke 24:1-32—Ed.] [ Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. ] [ And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. ] [ And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. ] [ And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: ] [ And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? ] [ He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, ] [ Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. ] [ And they remembered his words, ] [ And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest. ] [ It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles. ] [ And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not. ] [ Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass. ] [ And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs. ] [ And they talked together of all these things which had happened. ] [ And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. ] [ But their eyes were holden that they should not know him. ] [ And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad? ] [ And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days? ] [ And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people: ] [ And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him. ] [ But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done. ] [ Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre; ] [ And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive. ] [ And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not. ] [ Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: ] [ Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? ] [ And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. ] [ And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further. ] [ But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them. ] [ And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. ] [ And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. ] [ And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? ] 2 Thank you, Brother Neville. And a “Good evening,” to you all. 3 It’s been a great day for me, this day. It has been great in many ways. Course, I’ve got a little older, today, so it makes it a little greater, and I getting a greater age. But I…It’s been a great day because it’s Easter. And, then, a great day because something has happened to me this day, that I have, will never forget. It was a desire that come on my heart. That I… 4 All my life I’ve wondered about things, and why was I born into this world.
25 Then I was just thinking, this morning, when I was speaking of Moses. And, he, what must have come in his mind when he learned that he was a Hebrew! Why would God ever permit him to be raised up in Pharaoh’s palace, and then take the place, a position at the backside of the desert, to find what he was to do in life?
36 And I’ve often wondered, as a boy, how that God, in the early days, had been speaking to me. Then I wonder why He permitted that picture to be taken. I wonder why He did it in Germany and in Finland. I’ve wondered why all these things has happened. I just can’t believe that it was because that…Cause, I’m not a preacher; I haven’t the education. I haven’t the ability to be a preacher. It must be something different. I believe God’s people are in bondage. I believe they’re in bondage because of tradition of man. And, today, we have tens of thousands dying daily, with diseases that medical science can’t touch, and they’re God’s children. And I believe…I—I may not live to see it. But I believe that there’s coming an hour, and that may be soon at hand, that God is going to do something in this manner, to prove that He’s still Almighty God. I—I believe it. I’ve seen it, in a measure, but I believe it was a small measure to what we will see.
4Now, I am to leave, in the morning, for a little rest period. 7 Which, I, today, I in that water…I baptized, many times, but I got colder today than I ever did in my life. I got so cold I could hardly talk. It was just because of “run down.” I’ve been going since Christmas, or right after Christmas, of hardly a night off. And I have no bad cold, but I just weak and run down.
58 I’m going down to the lake, tomorrow, if the Lord willing, to take a few days of rest. I’ll be back, the Lord willing, in a few days. And we’ll meet together again, before I go out in the services, God willing, which is just about ten, about twenty days from now. 9 Then I go back, with a full month, in the New England states. Come back…That’s the whole month of May, with two days, two or three days off. 10 Then from there, I hardly have more, about five days, until I go to Africa. That’s all through the month of June. 11 And it’s going to be hard. I’m going to depend on this little church, these people, praying for me; for I need it, need it very bad. 12 And, you know, no one will never know, this side of Glory, what all it’s been, and how the struggles that I’ve had to go through. I don’t tell it to people. There’s no need of telling it to people. They couldn’t understand it. Neither do I understand it. It’s just something, you just go on, just go ahead.
613 Now, so that the people standing won’t have to stand too long, I have chosen for a text, tonight, this text, as Brother Neville has just read Luke 24, of the resurrection. My subject tonight is: The Evidence Of The Resurrection. And now, while he was reading, there was several things that He spoke of, here, that I’d like to refer to. And that is, the first, that these who went to the tomb, first, in the morning.
714 Now, no matter how much He died, and how pathetic His death was, if there was no resurrection, He was just a man that died. See? 15 There has been many great men in our—in our world, that has made great claims. 16 For instance, Confucius, the great Chinese philosopher, died about twenty-three hundred years ago. 17 Buddha, the great prophet-god of Japan, also died around twenty-three hundred years ago; made great statements, but he died. And he remains in the grave. 18 There is Mohammed, the privilege of being at his grave, where, for two thousand years, the white horse has stood at his grave; changing guards every four hours, expecting him to rise some day, and ride the world down, and conquer it. Mohammedans, which is the greatest religion in number, in the world. They out-number all the Christians, Catholics, put together. But, yet, Mohammed is in the grave.
819 And all these religions, when we say that, “Jesus is raised from the dead,” they say, “Prove it.” And we say, “Well, He’s in our heart.” They say that their founders is in a heart. 20 But I’m so glad that Jesus left us a solid, rock foundation of His resurrection. We don’t have to wonder. It is the Truth. The amazing thing is, that, so many people doesn’t see it. And I’ve wondered that. And, tonight, I’m going to try to approach it by the Scripture.
921 Now, if you notice, these ones was at the tomb, early in the morning. They met two Men, which were Angels in shining apparel, which said unto them that He was… “Why seek ye the living—the living among the dead?” They had went to the tomb and found that He was not there. And They asked this notable question, “Why are you seeking the living among the dead? And He said, when…These things He told you, when He was yet in Galilee.” 22 Now, maybe you might just read over the top of that, but let’s study that for a moment. He said, “He told you these things when He was yet in Galilee.” Why didn’t they understand it? Why didn’t they get it? 23 And here’s another great significance to it, that, these Ones who told him this, or told these disciples, was at the grave. They must have been with Him also in Galilee, for They knew what Jesus had told them before His crucifixion. Oh, what a blessed thing! You see, those disciples didn’t know those Angels were there, but They evidently was there, because They said, “Did not He tell you this while He was yet in Galilee?” 24 And that fulfills what the Scripture said, that, “The Angels of God are encamped about those who fear Him.”
1025 And what a great thing that is, to know that, tonight, right in this building, there is Angels of God standing at attention. And They know every word that we say, and everything that we do. 26 And here is the Scriptural proof of it. Said, “Did not He tell you these things while He was yet in Galilee?” Said, “Remember that He told you these things.” That word, “remember,” that’s a marvelous word. 27 And, oh, what a sad thing that’s going to be for the lost, that after they have sealed their doom, and after they have heard their last sermon, and to be over in a devil’s hell, lost, and no chance at all to repent; to remember the opportunities they’ve turned down.
1128 You say unto me, then, “Preacher, is there remembrance in hell?” Jesus said there was. He said the rich man that lifted up his eyes, in hell, and saw Abraham, and Lazarus in His bosom. “And he said, ‘Remember, in your lifetime…’” There is a remembrance. 29 And how, the lost, what an awful thing that would be, to know that the great meetings that they had set in, and had heard the mighty sermons of the anointed ministers of God; and not only that, but to see the anointed signs and wonders that God had performed among the people; and then to remember all these warning, and yet be lost. Why, it would haunt them forever.
1230 After the death of Jesus, the Bible tells us, that, “He went and preached to the souls that were in prison, that repented not in the longsuffering of the days of Noah.” And to bring to their remembrance that Noah, and Enoch, and the great prophets of their days, witnessed that there was coming a Messiah, and they rejected the Message. 31 Oh, it will be a terrible thing, my lost friend, for you, in that day, to remember. When you die, here, your works follow you. And they will either haunt you through Eternity, or bless you through Eternity.
1332 But, remember, what a great thing it must be, and a joy, for those who are saved, and can bring, to face the facts, these Angels who are in the building tonight, to bring to remembrance the great meetings and the great times, and the great joy that we’ve had together. What a time it must be ahead, for both groups, both saved and unsaved! 33 God is a good God. He is so longsuffering! He is so full of gentleness, and meekness, and patience! “He’s not willing that any should perish.” And He’s done everything that can be done, to keep men from perishing. But they will perish, anyhow, because they believe not.
1434 Now, we take up our study, tonight, to see two men, after the resurrection. And many had come and told of an empty tomb, had said that His body was not there. And some women had said that they had seen a vision of Angels, which told them that, “He had risen from the dead.” And, yet, with all this message, yet these people did not believe, and was discouraged, going back home. 35 And to think of, on the first Easter, the first beautiful spring Easter morning, Jesus alive among the people, and these going along, discouraged, walking along the road, with saddened hearts, and was disturbed about the crucifixion. And as they walked, we find out that there was Somebody Who stepped out by the roadside and begin to walk with them. And they didn’t know Who He was, because the Scripture says that their eyes had been holden.
1536 Oh, here is where I want you to see. Not only was this something that happened, but it was a prophecy, and a shadow of something that was going to happen. 37 You know, our blessed Lord never did anything just to be gadding about. Everything He did had a meaning. Everything that He did was Eternally; it never died; every move, every motion, every Word. Oh, I’m so glad of that. You can just nail onto it, with all that’s in you, and it will be made manifest.
1638 And as they walked along the road, a strange Man walked out. And they, He—He said unto them, “Why are you so sad?” They should be happy. Said, “Why are you so sad? And what is this conversation that you’re speaking of?” And He said… 39 They said back to Him, “Are You a stranger around Jerusalem? Don’t You know the things that’s been going on? We had a Prophet by the Name of Jesus of Nazareth. And we hoped in Him, that He would be the Deliverer. But this is the third day; and our people crucified Him.” 40 And they begin to tell the story of what had taken place, how He had been dead, how they had expected Him to be the great Deliverer, but how that Prophet of the Most High God could stand there in pity, with spit on His face, and let a soldier put a rag around His head, and blind His eyes, and hit Him on the head with a stick, and say, “Now prophesy, You prophesier, and tell us who hit You. We’ll believe You.” That was more than the people could understand. They was thinking that the Messiah would be something different from that.
1741 And if that isn’t a true picture, today. People are expecting the Kingdom of God to be different than what It really is. They’re expecting It to come in splendor. They’re expecting It to be alive in the Vatican city or some great cathedral. But because He brings It amongst a bunch of poor, illiterate, humble-hearted people, It blinds the eyes of the wise and prudent. 42 Oh, what a mockery for that woman to take and mock, washing His feet with her hair, as the true believer had did. What a mockery to see Him hanging there on the cross, with His hands tacked to the cross, and to hear the high priest, said, “Now, if You are the Son of God, perform a miracle here. Just pull Your hands loose, and come down off the cross, and we will believe You.”
1843 Now, in the natural man’s mind, the carnal man, the church man, the make-believer… Because every congregation holds three different types of people, that is the true believer, and the make-believer, and the unbeliever. Every congregation has them. 44 And to think that this Man, Who had opened the eyes of the blind, unstopped the ears of the deaf, and had raised a man from the dead, that had been dead four days, and could make such statements as He did, and then would hang there, with spit on His face, and let a high priest rile upon Him and tell Him such things, and He never opened His mouth and said a word back, in debate. For He said, “I do that which always pleases God.” And it was pleasing to God to have that to happen.
1945 Now we watch Him for a few minutes. Now, these disciples, they couldn’t understand why this must be done. So as they went along and begin to pour out the story, then Jesus stops them. You see, He appeared to them when they were talking about Him. 46 And that’s the reason He doesn’t appear to too many of the church people, today, they don’t talk about Him enough. The church is always talking about some big doings they got going on, some big social party, or some picnic they’re going to, or some new something that they’re going to do, some of the societies. The church is so burdened with societies, till it hasn’t got any room for Christ. 47 The real Church is always unladen of all these societies, and turns everything to a prayer meeting, those who know Him and love Him.
2048 And here He was. They were talking about Him when He appeared. 49 If we would quit talking about our neighbors, and quit talking about the hypocrites in the church, and talk more about Jesus, we’d have more appearing of Jesus; talking about the faults of the preacher, talking about the faults of something else. And just talk about Jesus, there would be more things happen.
21Now, and when they were talking, He appeared. 50 And then, notice, when He appears, He don’t begin to take sides with you. “Oh, that’s right. This one ought to be put out. And this ought to have a new pastor. Or, this neighbor done you wrong.” 51 See, as soon as He appeared, He begin to preach the Word. A real servant of God always goes to the Word. He said, “O foolish, and slow of heart to believe all the prophets have said about Christ.” See how, this, He brought it in? “Are you so slow and foolish, that you did not believe what the prophet said?”
2252 What if He would appear, tonight? I’d just like to ask this. What would He do at the Branham Tabernacle, tonight? Are you so slow at heart? 53 What would He do in Jeffersonville, tonight, where the Gospel has been preached for twenty-five years; signs and wonders, miracles, an undoubted thing? Things that’s never been done since Jesus left the earth, is performed daily. The sick are healed, the signs and wonders performed. Great prophecies made, that never fail. The Gospel being preached without compromising, and still the barrooms and the honkey tonks is loaded tonight, in Jeffersonville. Oh, how can we escape the wrath of God? 54 I’ve said this many times, and I say it yet, tonight. If God would let us go without punishment, He would be an unjust God. He would have to raise up Sodom and Gomorrah, and apologize to them, for sinking them for the same thing that we are doing daily, and getting worse. Although, they were a bunch of heathen people, but we’re supposed to be a Christian nation.
2355 And as He talked to them, and begin to explain to them the Scriptures, and not was He only just patting them on the back and giving them some little baby doctrine, but He was rebuking them, and said, “You’re foolish, and slow at heart. Why did you doubt what the prophet said?” See where He went? Straight to the Scripture. 56 And they begin to watch and listen. He said, “Ought not Christ to have rose the third day, and entered into His Glory?” And as He went along, all day long, talking, yet they did not know Him, because their eyes was holded. They would been closed, and they could not see Him, or, understand Him.
2457 Now, here is where I want to get to, what I want you to see. That was the first message after the resurrection. And as He walked with them through the entire day, they did not know Him. Yet, He was with them, but He Himself had their eyes closed. But when it got towards the setting of the sun, and Jesus made as if He would pass them by. 58 If that isn’t just exactly what He’s done again in these last days, at the setting of the sun. Did you notice what He give the church then, through the day? Just preaching the Word. He never performed one sign or wonder. He never said anything but just preached the Word about the resurrection, of what the prophet said. That’s what He’s done since the days of His going away, until this last day. But now, oh, bless His Name, the sun is setting, and He made as if He would not stop. 59 Oh, I can think of Fanny Crosby when she cried, “Pass me not, O gentle Saviour.”
2560 And these disciples said, “Come and abide. Stay with us through the darkness, for it’s getting late.” And He made out like He was going on, but they constrained Him. In other words, they begged Him. Oh, if we had more begging type of people!
2661 Sister, brother, do you know the Bible said just for the Holy Ghost to mark those who sigh and cry for the abominations did in the city? Now, I want to ask you a question. We make so much emotion over our religious ideas, but who is it in the city, tonight, in Jeffersonville, that’s so concerned about the lost world, in this last day, that even spend thirty minutes, a night, praying for the sins of the city? But according to the Scripture, the Angel of God was only to seal those who sighed and cried for the abomination.
2762 We’re not interested no more. We just want to know that we can have a good time. We want to know that we can have a little society in our church. We want to know that we’ve got a—a vote coming, when it comes time to elect the next pastor. We want our church to look a little better than the next fellow’s church. That’s the idea of this world today. No one begging, “O Lord God, come to me quickly, or I’ll perish. Oh, pass me not, O Saviour. You was omnipotent. You Who are omnipresent, come and dwell in my heart, O Lord.” It’s even hard to get a man or woman to raise their hand, to accept the Lord Jesus as Saviour. The old-fashion mourners’ bench has been taken out. There is no more weeping. There is no more crying at the altar.
2863 Just think, when Charles G. Finney, just a Gospel preacher, a little converted lawyer, little bitty dried-up-looking fellow, was testing the acoustics in a building. And he said, “Repent, or perish.” And a man setting in the cupola fainted and fell out. He stood on the balcony of a building in New England and preached hell to the lost. And when he screamed out, “You’ll perish if you don’t repent,” men fainted, and women, and fell in the streets. 64 But, today, you can preach repentance and hell fire and brimstone, and people will laugh at it. What’s the matter? Our hearts are cold. We’re indifferent. We got too much. We need less of the world and more of God. Our hearts are too cold. We become interested in some emotion. We become interested, “If—if we can dance; if we can shout.” I believe in it. “If we can speak with tongues.” I believe in it. I believe in every bit of that. But if we have that, and don’t have that agonizing, weeping, broke up spirit, God can never use it. Them things are good, but we got to have the other to go with it. We’ve left off the main thing, and gone for secondarily; and you can never major on a minor. We know that.
2965 Even in our own meetings, our own meetings has got too much to the place there’s too much on Divine healing, instead of healing of the soul. Brother, what we need today is a revival of breaking up, souls on fire for God. What I mean, “on fire,” is down at the altar, with tears running down their cheeks. Not for five minutes, and get up and forget it. But out trying to win the lost back to Christ again; a burden on their heart. 66 God, take all the pleasures of the world, and all of its fringy, all of its frolic, and put a burden on my heart for the lost, would be my prayer.
3067 They constrained Him. “O Lord, we don’t know who You are, Sir, but we love Your preaching. Come in, and stay with us through the night.” And Jesus went in. Walking with them, and they didn’t know Him. And when He once got in…May be a little hut, but there’s nothing too humble for Him. 68 You say, “Well, Brother Branham, I’m an old man.” I don’t care how old you are. “I’m just a child.” That doesn’t matter how young you are. “I’m too poor. I’ve got on overalls.” Oh, if you had a grass sack wrapped around you, it would make no difference to God. Just ask Him. You are great in the sight of God. You may not be much in the front of man, but you’re great in the sight of God. You’re one of His subjects.
31“Come in and abide with us.” 69 “Oh, I couldn’t ask Him to come in me. I’ve been a drunkard. I’ve been a gambler.” I don’t care what you are. Ask Him, and find out. He’ll come on your invitation. He has never turned one down. And He never will turn one down. He’s longing and trying to get into the hearts. You say, “I’ve been a street harlot.” I don’t care what you’ve been. God is trying to work His way into your heart. Just say, “Come in, Lord, and abide with me.”
3270 And notice, all through the day, He had been bringing the Word, but no signs. When He got them inside, and shut the door, and set down, oh, brother, that’s when He revealed His resurrection. No time, from the morning when He met them, until the going down of the sun, did He do it. He never did one thing that He did in life, only just the Word. But notice, at the evening time, at the evening time, that’s when He proved His resurrection. 71 Let me say this with humility. Let me say this with a broken voice, but a broken heart, too. It’s evening time. The Bible said, “It will be Light in the evening time. There will be a day, that it won’t be neither night or day,” the prophet said. It’ll be just hearing the Word, with no manifestation, just a gloomy, foggy day. But in the evening time, the Light will shine again. It’ll be light. And in this evening time that we’re now living, where Christ, through His ministers, has preached the Gospel for two thousand years, but this is the evening lights. The evening lights was the manifestation of the resurrection.
3372 When? They didn’t know He had raised from the dead. Although they loved Him, they believed Him, but they didn’t know He had raised from the dead. They had argued against it. And now, here it is in the evening time, He is going to reveal Himself, that He is raised from the dead. How did He do it? Not by preaching the Word; He had already did that, and still they didn’t believe. 73 And two thousand years of preaching the Word, the church still don’t believe. But the evening Light has come, the manifestation of the resurrection. 74 And He taken them in, and He performed a miracle, or did a thing just like He did before His crucifixion. They knew it was Him. Their eyes come open.
3475 And He vanished, quickly. Notice, it was a short message. It wasn’t very long. He didn’t stay long with them. He just manifested Himself, and vanished out of their sight. And their eyes were open and they knew that that was Him. 76 And they said, “Did not our hearts burn within us, as He talked to us along the road?” 77 And, oh, brother, sister, how much has our hearts burned, down through the years. I’ve been a Christian now for about twenty-seven years; no, about twenty-nine years. I’ve been a preacher for twenty-seven years. And all along, when I read His Word, when He talks to me, it’s wonderful. My heart burns, to hear the Word.
3578 But now the evening Lights has come. The sun is a setting. Civilization is gone. The world is at the end. Now He’s appeared and doing something in our midst, to reveal Himself as the resurrected Christ. Our eyes are, can come open. We can see that He is alive for evermore. The proof of the pudding is the eating thereof. And that’s the proof of the resurrection. If Jesus promised, the Bible did, “He’s the same yesterday, today, and forever,” and He does not prove that, then the Scripture is wrong. Down through the years we’ve had all these Scripture teachings, but this is the day for the manifestation, for the manifestations of the resurrection.
3679 Now, what did they do? When their eyes were opened, they said, “Did not our hearts burn within us?” And they rushed quickly back, to meet the rest of their people. And they didn’t go back now, just going down the road, and saying, “Well, maybe it could have been something else.” But they were positive. And they rushed to their own company, and they said, “Truly, the Lord has raised, indeed! We know that He has raised.” They didn’t go to argue their religion. They just went because their eyes had been opened. They had seen Him in His resurrection.
3780 And what would be a more beautiful thing, this night, my friend? What would be a more glorious thing, tonight, on this Easter day? Is to see that same Jesus that raised from the dead, come into the midst of this little, old, humble tabernacle here, that cost us less than three thousand dollars, twenty years ago. How would it be, in this little humble place, to see Him come here, tonight, and do the things that He did before His crucifixion, to prove His resurrection? 81 He has never done it until these last days. Now He’s doing it because He promised He would do it. It’s evening time. The Lights are shining. God is opening the eyes of His children. They, with light hearts, are rushing back, “Oh, He has raised, indeed.”
3882 Now, there’s people in this building, tonight, that’s probably from Virginia, and all around over the country. And—and, or no matter where you’re from, you can go back with a light heart, on this Easter day, if Jesus would appear to you like He did to them. 83 Maybe you’ve walked with Him a long time. Maybe you been a Christian for years, but you have never yet seen His power of His resurrection manifested. Oh, if He’ll do it tonight, will you receive Him as the risen Lord? 84 Think of it now, while we bow our heads just a moment for prayer. How many would like to be remembered in this prayer? Raise up your hand to God. God bless you.
3985 Now, Lord God, the people are standing, their limbs are cramping. But, oh, they love You. They have come, Lord, on this resurrection day. They’ve come, maybe, from an old empty tomb somewhere, where they preach the empty Gospel, and said, “Well, the days of miracles is passed.” That’s the way they found the tomb, because He wasn’t there. He had raised from the dead. 86 But Cleopas and his friend has many journeying with them, tonight, discussed it, along the road. But, O Lord Jesus, in these evening times, I pray that You’ll manifest Your resurrection to this little church, tonight. Prove to these, who are standing near, that You’re humble. That is, if…No matter how humble it is, You will come to any place where You’re welcome, where You’re wanted. 87 And there are many here, Lord, who are needy. Many are sick and many are afflicted. Many are without You, without Christ, without God, and they want help. I pray, Father, that You’ll manifest Yourself, tonight, to this little tabernacle, once more.
4088 O Lord God, Thou has been good to Your servant. Many years ago, today, in a little old crude-looking log cabin, when my young mother back there, about fifteen years old, opened up the window, of an early morning, and I gave my first little scream. O Lord God, I thank You for every year. I’m ashamed of the many things that I’ve done that’s wrong. I pray You forgive me. And the one regret I have, Lord, that I didn’t serve You when I was a little baby boy. Help me, Lord. 89 O Lord, if I have found grace in Thy sight, strengthen this feeble body. Renew my strength. Renew my youthful strength, as You do the eagles, and put my head high, Lord, and my heart low, that I might walk, Lord, yet, and manifest Your love to the people. Give unto me deeper love, more consecration, a deeper, full of life, fuller life, that I might serve You. 90 Lord, manifest Your power tonight among the people, by healing the sick and the afflicted, giving witness to Your resurrection. And we’ll give Thee praise, in the Name of the Lord Jesus we ask it. Amen.
4191 I like that, Sister Gertie. How many knows it, “Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty”? Let’s kind of hum it, together now, just once. I love…How many loves them old-fashion songs? Oh, you can take all your little old chopped-up, Elvis Presley, boogie-woogie, in the name of Christianity, you can have it. Give me those old-fashion, heart-stirring, love songs of the Gospel. Yes, sir. Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of hosts. Heaven and earth are full of Thee, Heaven and earth are praising Thee, O Lord Most High. 92 Doesn’t that do something to you? Just worship now, just together, while we sing that again now. Just worship now, to God, just kind of close yourself off, and worship now, as we sing. Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of hosts. Heaven and earth are full of Thee, Heaven and earth are praising Thee, O Lord Most High.
4293 Lord God Most High, You put the sun in its orbits. You put the moon, the stars. You measured the earth in the palm of Your hand, and blew off the stars. You’re God. You raised up Jesus from the dead, nineteen hundred years ago, and showed Him alive, to give us that blessed assurance, that we wait now for the Coming of Him Who will set on the throne of David and will rule the earth in peace and righteousness. We’ll study war no more. There’ll be no more hunger nor sorrow. There will be no more sadness, no more death. The former things will pass away. And, O God, it’s so close at hand! 94 Strengthen the hearts of Your children. Give us, tonight, our desires. Not for ourself, Lord, but that we might have a testimony fresh in our heart of His resurrection. I humble my heart and ask for You to help me. And the audience humbles their heart and asks for You to help them, that together we might see the risen Lord. 95 Come into our midst, Lord. Sanctify this church. I call for mercies of God. Lord, don’t judge us. We don’t ask for judgment. We ask for mercy. Give us mercy, O Eternal God, and manifest Your love and Presence with us. For we ask it in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
4396 Oh, I just feel more like worshipping. My heart just filled up! What an assurance! Jesus has raised from the dead. 97 It’s not a story like Santa Claus. If I’m saying something wrong before your children, you forgive me; I don’t mean to. But I believe in telling children the truth. See? 98 I want to know the Truth. They told me about Jesus. If He hasn’t raised from the dead, then it’s a mystic story. If He isn’t the same yesterday, today, and forever, then it’s a mystic story. Then, He might be dead, if He doesn’t prove Himself to be a risen God. 99 But I’m so glad to know that He has raised from the dead, and He lives now. He’s here. And these sacred sands, as I talked of this morning, no one can ever move that from your heart. May God open your eyes, tonight, pilgrim, and let you know that His Son has raised from the dead, and is here to manifest Himself.
44100 Now, I asked Billy how many was to be prayed for. He didn’t know. How many here wants prayer, the sick bodies, raise your hands, all over the building. Everywhere in the building, that wants it. It would be too much, see, it’s over…It’s two-thirds of the audience. It would be too much to try to bring a prayer line through. We couldn’t do it. I told him to give out cards. And we’ll try to line them up and bring them through, as many as could. And I guess…You give a hundred? All right. Yes, he has give a hundred cards, and the building don’t set over about two hundred and fifty, I guess, or something like that. So, probably, many here…
45101 How many doesn’t have a prayer card, and you want God to heal you? Raise your hands, everywhere in the building, that doesn’t have a prayer card. Nearly half of them. All right. Now there’s only one legitimate way that we can do.
46102 There is something on my mind. There’s something in my heart. I can’t say it until I know what I’m speaking of. I’m praying. I’m holding to God. I’m going back to the backside of the desert. I—I—I’ve got to meet God again. There’s just something. I’ve got to get on those sands again, where I was at a few years ago. I want to talk to Him. I—I seen Him in vision, twice. I hope I can see Him again before I leave. There is something I found in the Scriptures. I—I—I don’t know. It’s been on my heart. And every time I speak of it, something happens. And I’m just…I’m on…I—I’m at a place, I don’t know what to do. I believe this ministry that I now have is fading away, that something greater is going to take its place. This next week or two, I’m going to the sacred sands, if I can, at the backside of the desert, to see if I can contact my Lord. I can’t rest, I can have no peace, till I find Him, till I find what this is all about. I can’t understand it. He’s never turned me down yet; I don’t believe He will this time. I’m bragging. I’m praying to Him to help me. 103 Not that I—I—I don’t want it. My, I could come back here and preach, and go ahead now. I guess I got enough friends to kind of help take care of me. That isn’t it. That isn’t the idea. This ministry that I have, I could continue on, if God would be with me. I could continue on. 104 But my heart is not satisfied. There’s some deep calling to the Deep. There is something moving. Look like I can put my hands on it, but, “Where is it at, Lord?” It’s not for me. It’s for His people. It’s for God’s children. I just become a sacrifices.
47105 I’m an old man. My days are—are up. My youthful days are gone. A man forty-nine years old is no kid no more. We know that. One more year and I’ll be fifty. I’m no boy. I’ve got children to raise. That’s true. 106 But, brother, I’ve got the work of God to do, above everything. I must know what this craving in me is about. I’ve got to go till I find it. I must find Him, somewhere. I must know.
48107 I guess there’s some setting here, from about ten or twelve years ago, from this tabernacle, when I made that same statement here one time. How many is here remembers that? Just look at the old hands that’s left. “Something in here,” I said, “there’s something, I can almost touch it. It’s at hand.” Little did I know, after the Angel spoke down here at the river, before you all, and said, “As John was sent as the forerunner of the first Coming, you’ll send a Message around the world.” It’s happened. Every nation has got healing services going now, around the world, even up into Russia. Yes, sir. Everywhere, healing services going on, where it had died down. 108 Now there is something greater, moving. There’s a…I’m waiting to hear the sound of the rushing of the mulberry leaves. I’m going on. Pray for me.
49109 Now, as I’m in this ministry, the manifestation of Jesus Christ’s resurrection. If He is alive, He keeps every promise. Who has kept Him alive for these two thousand years? Who has kept that Eternal Light burning? Now it’s the evening times. His manifestation of something that He did, like He did before the crucifixion, He manifested Himself to the disciples. [Brother Branham snaps his fingers—Ed.] They recognized it, quickly, that was Him. Now He’ll do the same. 110 How many has been in other meetings of mine? Let’s see your hands, all over the building. I guess it’s a hundred percent, so I won’t have to go through it. You know what to expect. 111 How many is longing and waiting to see Him again, tonight, a walk on the scene, “Are You the resurrected Jesus?” God bless you. Now just to show that He’s alive.
50112 What was it? [Someone says, “X.”—Ed.] X? All right. Let’s just…We can’t call too many, a time. We can stand, maybe, four or five at a time, or something. All right. 113 Let’s begin with the prayer cards now, and begin to raise them up. Let’s get number one. Who has it? Look at your card. Number one. One? [Someone says, “Right here, Brother Bill.”—Ed.] Oh, I’m sorry. All right, lady. One. Number two. Number three. Can you get up, ever who has number three? Number four. Number five. Number six. I don’t see number six. One, two, three, four, five. Number six. All right. Number seven. Number seven, please. Right here. So, eight, number eight. Number nine. All right, sir. Number ten. Back…Let’s see how many we… [“There’s ten.”] All right. Let’s start right there, and then we can see, maybe we can get a few more. 114 How many in the building that doesn’t know me? I don’t know you, and you want God to heal you, raise up your hand. All that knows that I don’t know you. All right. Just be reverent.
51115 Now, our Lord Jesus, when He walked on earth…While they’re lining the people up. Our Lord Jesus, when He walked on earth, He never claimed to be a healer. How many knows that? He said, “It’s My Father that dwelleth in Me.” How many knows that He said, “I can do nothing in Myself; but what I see the Father doing, that doeth the Son”? 116 Now, and when He found a man in a—a…the man, and He declared Himself before the Jewish race, He performed a miracle, by telling the man where he was and what he had been doing, and they believed Him.
52117 And when He declared Hisself to the Samaritan race, He told a woman what her secret was, and she believed Him, and the whole race. Is that right? 118 But remember, He never did that to a Gentile, never in the presence of a Gentile. Because…How many knows that this has been the Gentile dispensation? But the evening Lights has come now. What kind of a Light that shine? What kind of a Light that shines when the Son is going down? The same Son that shined in the East when It come up. You believe that? Is that the same Son that went across the earth? The same Son that peeped up and showed a Light back here. And it was dark through the day, just a misty day; and then, just before the Son went down, It shined again. It would have to be the same Light that shined back there. It would shine on the Samaritan and on the Jew, back there, and not on the Gentile; then He’s got to shine the same Light on the Gentile, in order to be the same yesterday, today, and forever. Is that right? Now, you believe.
53Now Sister Gertie, real quietly, just for a moment. 119 Now, in this prayer line, there’s many of you, I guess, I don’t know. How many of you in there, that I don’t know what’s wrong with you, or nothing about you? You know it. Raise up your hands, you that’s in the prayer line, that knows that I don’t know nothing about you. 120 How many in the audience knows that I don’t know nothing about you. I don’t care whether you’re around here, now, I know nothing about you. All right. All right. Just believe.
54121 Now, our Lord was going one time to—to raise a little, dead girl, and a—a woman touched His garment. And He turned and said, “Who touched Me?” And everybody kept still. They denied of touching Him. But He looked around… 122 And some of them rebuked Him, Peter, and said, “Lord, how can You say who ‘touched’ You, and the whole multitude is a touching You?” 123 He said, “But I—I…Virtue has went from Me,” that’s, “strength.” 124 And He looked around until He found who the…How did He know who the woman was? It was her own faith; because, He said so. “Thy faith has saved thee. Your blood issue, which you’ve had, is finished. Your faith has made you well.” 125 That’s Jesus Christ today, that was yesterday. If He can do the same thing today, then He proves Himself the same.
55126 It seems like I ought to know this woman here. Are you the first person? Are you the…I might know you. I don’t know you. Your face looks familiar. I don’t know. But, whatever it is, you stand up and come here a minute. I want to say, if I do know you…I might not. I don’t know your name. But seems like I’ve seen you, and I perhaps have. But I don’t know what you’re here for. I have no idea what you’re here for. And I don’t know that I know you. But it just…You look familiar, your face. Would I know you? You—you, I wouldn’t know you. All right, then you are a stranger. Her face looked familiar to me. I just didn’t know. I wanted to be sure.
56127 Now everybody is aware, if you got any spirituality about you, at all, that something is going on right now. Oh, can’t you—can’t you just…You’re not supposed to feel It, but you do feel It. I know that that Angel of God is right here at this desk. You see that picture there, that Light? That Light is right here now. You say, “I don’t see It.” 128 Neither did they see those Angels who told them, “He told you this in Galilee.” They were there. 129 And He is here. He is Christ, the risen One. How many knows that Christ is in the form of a Light, today? Sure. The Bible said He is.
57130 Now you be real reverent now. Don’t move around. Wherever you are, just pray. 131 Now if we are strange to each other…And the Lord God, if He… If you’re sick, and if I could heal you, I—I’d do it; but I couldn’t. I can’t do it, because it’s already done. Jesus did it when He died at Calvary, rose. He proved it. And now, if He will reveal to me what you’re here for. 132 Now, if He was standing here, with this suit on, He might know who you was. He would know, if God revealed it to Him. He said, “I do nothing until the Father shows Me what to do.” And if He was here, and He would reveal to you, maybe who you are, where you come from, what your name is, what you did before you came to the service, or what you got on your heart, or something like that. But, for healing, it’s a finished work. It’s already finished. Now, if He’ll do the same thing, will you believe that you will get what you’re asking for? 133 Will the audience raise your hand to God, that you’ll believe it, too, if He’ll reveal to this woman? Let her be the judge.
58134 Now if anybody wants to come take this place, you’re welcome. 135 Now here’s where I’m going to be found a liar, and God’s Word untrue, or I’m telling the Truth and His Word is real. Right. There you are. There can’t be any—can’t be any getting around this. This shows it. This does it. 136 Now if the woman is sick, and I lay my hands on her, say, “You’re going to get well, sister,” she’s only got my word for that. But if the Holy Spirit reveals something that’s been in her life, in the back, she knows whether that’s the truth or not, something that has been. If He knows what has been, He certainly will know what will be. Don’t you believe that?
59137 Now may He grant it to you, my sister. Then the audience has all said they would believe. 138 And you and I, strangers, together, and just meeting here for this time; you standing there, something wrong. I don’t know what it is. I do not know. For I don’t know you, and how would I know what—what you were, what was wrong with you? But God does know what’s wrong with you. Now you just be real reverent. 139 Now, the lady is not here for herself, to begin with. You’re here for somebody else; that’s a little one. And it’s having trouble with a…It’s real nervous. It’s a grandson, I believe, of yours. And there’s something strange. I see that baby in a city that’s not this city. It looks like New Albany. That’s right. And it’s got a nervous condition. It’s got something wrong with its liver, so they say. Has a lot of vomiting. That’s right. You’ve been disturbed about it, and you’re standing for that one. That’s THUS SAITH THE LORD. 140 You be the judge. Are those things true? [The sister says, “Amen.”—Ed.] I don’t know what I’ve told you. The tape knows. It tells. It’ll tell me. Now, it was for somebody else, some way. Put that handkerchief on the somebody else, that you had in your hand while that anointing was on you, and don’t doubt, and you’ll have what you ask for. If He knows what was, He knows what will be. Don’t doubt. Go, believing.
60141 How do you do, sir? [The brother says, “Praise the Lord.”—Ed.] I suppose that we are strangers to each other. [“Absolutely.”] We are strangers. 142 Said he never saw me before, in life, until this morning. Now, everyone real reverent now. The anointing is already striking now, you see. I wish I could explain this. 143 But God does know you, sir. And if the Lord God will reveal to me what’s your trouble, will you accept Him as your healer, or Saviour, whatever you need for Him? You will? [The brother says, “I sure will.”—Ed.] Now when the vision strikes, you just listen to it. 144 You are trying to move across the floor. And it’s something in your knee. It’s arthritis in your knee. You have trouble, also, with your eyes. They’re getting weaker. And you got trouble with your ear. And you got trouble in your stomach. That is true. You’re not from this city. You’re from Somerset, Kentucky. Your name is Mr. Hudson. Now you go back, believe with all your heart, and you shall be healed. Believe it with all your heart.
61145 You believe with all your heart, everybody? Have faith in God. Don’t doubt, but just believe. 146 The Lord God does know you, sister. Do you believe He could reveal to me what you’re here for? [The sister says, “I do. I know it.”] If He will do it, will you accept it? [“Yes.”] 147 This big fellow setting here, yes, I believe we’re strangers to each other, sir. [The brother says, “Yes, sir.”—Ed.] But just a few moments ago, when I was speaking to that man, something happened to you. You said in your heart, “I believe that.” That’s true, isn’t it? [“Amen.”] If the Lord God will reveal to me what you want to be healed of, will you accept it? [“Yes.”] You got some kind of a coughing that bothers you. That’s right. Raise up your hand. All right. If you’ll believe it, you’ll never have it no more. It’ll go away from you. Believe it.
62148 What did he touch? What did he do? He touched the High Priest, not me. That can…I’ve never seen the man. I don’t know nothing about him. 149 Are you believing it’s the resurrected Jesus? Isn’t this the very same thing He did after His resurrection, to prove that He was the same One? Some says, “What kind of a spirit is that?” A spirit will always bear record of itself. The…We are the branches; He’s the Vine. A pumpkin vine will bear pumpkins; a grape vine will bear grapes; apple tree will bear apples. A Christian life will bear Christ. It is no strange thing.
63150 Your eyes are going bad, and you want prayer for your eye. That’s right, isn’t it? That’s right. Raise up your hand. See, I don’t know you, but God does. But your life, you couldn’t hide. 151 Here, I see something else, a hospital. Now just a moment. It’s not an eye examination. It’s not. It’s an operation. It’s not you. It’s a friend of yours, that’s had an operation. And that’s something, a rupture operation, and you’re scared about it, because you know it was something different from a rupture. That’s right. That was at Corydon, Indiana. That’s true. You believe now with all your heart? [A sister says, “Sure do.”—Ed.] Go, and receive what you’ve asked for, in the Name of the Lord Jesus.
64152 I know your face. If I’m not mis-…Course, this is anointing, see. But, the best I remember, aren’t you a preacher? See, I just wanted to know, so that the—the congregation would see it’s nothing… It’s just something, when I know anyone, I—I know them. But I don’t know what you’re here about. I have no idea. If that’s right, raise up your hand. I know not what you’re here for. But I know you’re a preacher from out around Blackiston Mill, or somewhere out there. Because, you come to my house one time, I believe, to pray for a baby or something. Is…Yeah. I know it was something about a baby. Yeah. 153 But you’re suffering with some kind of a trouble in your bowels. Let me tell you, then you’ll know whether I be God’s servant or not. You got somebody on your heart, to pray for, and that’s a crippled girl. She’s not here. She’s across the river. She’s in Kentucky. Now believe with all your heart, you can have what you ask for. Amen.
65154 Do you believe? If you can believe, you can receive. Don’t doubt. What about back in the audience? Are you believing? 155 Way back there, a colored lady setting just in to the left, has a female disorder, setting in this…to the left. If you believe with all your heart, lady, you can have your healing. Do you believe it? That’s right. The colored lady setting by the post, by the side of a man. She’s got her hand up now. You have a female disorder. All right. The Lord God has healed you, sister. Your faith made you well. 156 Can’t you see that Light hanging over that woman there? Look at there.
66157 Oh, how wonderful! The Lord God never fails. Be reverent. Oh, I’m so glad He lives. He lives in our heart. 158 “If thou canst believe, all things are possible.” 159 I suppose that we are strangers to each other. I don’t know you. I’ve never seen you. But God does know you. If I’ve ever seen you, I didn’t know. But if the Lord will reveal to me what you’re standing here for, will you believe me to be His servant, believe that He has raised from the dead? If we are strangers, there would have to be some kind of power reveal it to me, what you’re here for. You’re here on account of varicose vein that you’re praying for. That’s right. 160 Now pray for somebody else, and find out if I be the servant of God. Just pray for somebody else, and see if He can reveal it. You believe it? 161 Well, she’s nervous, and she’s got a kidney trouble. And she lives in Corydon. That’s right, isn’t it? Then, you believe? Now go and receive just as you’ve asked.
67162 I ask you. I challenge your faith to believe it. Anywhere in the building, no matter where you are, just believe it. 163 All the way at the back, the young man standing back there, praying for his friend in Fort Wayne, that’s blind. You believe God will heal him? [The brother says, “Amen.”—Ed.] All right, then you can have it. 164 Some of the rest of you back there, believe. Way back, way back, believe. Challenge, challenge It. God be merciful. 165 The colored lady setting right down below you there, with a tumor. You believe the Lord will heal you, lady; right on the back seat, very back seat back there, the little, round hat on, raising her hand up? You believe God will heal you of that tumor? If you do, raise up your hand and wave it to Him. All right. Then go home and get well.
68Oh, He’s marvelous! 166 Here’s a lady setting right up a front of her here, setting on the inside, just a little bit back. She is praying for somebody else. There is the Angel of the Lord standing by her. And that friend of hers, that pray…she’s praying for, doesn’t live here. It’s in a little city where there’s a lot of pine trees around. That’s Henryville, Indiana. And she’s praying for her sister-in-law that has heart trouble. Can you believe it? If you can believe it, setting back there, have faith in God and receive it. All right. 167 All right, lady. You’re a stranger to me. I don’t know you, but God does know you. If you believe it, raise up your hand, lady. The lady with the glasses on there. All right, that’s it. 168 What do you think? “The Lord our God, He is God.” He is not dead. He is not dead, but He’s alive. Not only is He alive, but He’s present.
69Is this the… [Someone says, “Yes.”—Ed.] 169 Are we strangers to each other, I suppose? This is our first time meeting, I suppose. But God knows us both. What’s you so scared about? And quit thinking about them smells and perfumes, and so forth. Get away from it. Just believe God. Just got it on your mind. You go back home and be well, if you believe it. 170 You’ve had some trouble. I see you come in and go out of the hospital; one, two, three times, operation. And that’s been for the colon. It’s tumors, like, in the colon. And you’re not from this city. You’re a Kentuckian. And you’re from a city that I’ve been in, Campbellsville. Mrs. Vaughn, you return back and believe. You can have what you asked for. 171 Do you believe with all your heart?
70172 You want to go eat your supper and be over the stomach trouble? All right, go ahead. You have faith in God. 173 You want to get over that arthritis and be made well? Just go on your road, believe it. 174 You believe God will heal that heart trouble? [A brother says, “Sure.”—Ed.] Go on your road. You believe it. 175 This man setting right back here at the end, with a white shirt. No, that’s Brother Funk. It’s just behind him. You want the baptism of the Holy Ghost, don’t you? All right. If you’ll believe It, you can receive It. Amen.
71176 What do you think, the little lady setting here with arthritis, looking at me in the face? You, from Middletown, Ohio. You want to believe it? That’s good faith, for a person that’s not even a Christian. You don’t profess to be a Christian. That’s right. You accept Him now as your Saviour? You believe Him and will accept Him as your Saviour, the risen Lord? I don’t know you. I’ve never seen you. That’s right. But if you’ll accept Him as your risen Lord, right now in your heart, your sins are forgiven, and God will heal you. Raise your hand to Him and believe Him. All right. Go on your road, and rejoice. I challenge your faith. I challenge you to believe it.
72177 We are strangers to each other, but God knows you. [The brother says, “I know you, but you don’t me.”—Ed.] You know me, but I don’t know you. Is that it? You believe that God can reveal to me what you’re here for? [“Amen.”] 178 All right, how many will believe it? 179 Oh, how can you disbelieve? Can’t God…Has God ever opened your eyes? A lot of you people here know me. I was raised up with you here. How could I…Go back down through my life, and find out if ever anything was ever said but what’s perfectly come to pass to be the Truth. Search it and see if it’s right. 180 Well, what am I telling you? Jesus Christ has raised from the dead. He’s alive. He’s here. This is Easter. And it’s been Easter for two thousand years. But evening Lights are shining now. It shined in the East then, is shining out of the West now.
73181 Sir, this could go on for hours. If the man says that I don’t know him…He’s seen me probably in a meeting somewhere or some place. I don’t know. God does. I don’t. I don’t know where I’ve ever seen him. Don’t know as I ever seen him. But he said he had seen me. If God will reveal to that man, something that he knows, just like Philip went and got Nathanael and brought him, how many will say, “It will settle it forever, for me”? 182 Would you hold your hand, that I don’t know you. Just raise up your hands if I don’t know you, know nothing about you. I don’t know nothing about you, never seen you in my life, as far as I know. 183 Now, if God will grant this, how many will say, “I’ll accept Him right now as the risen Lord, as my healer”?
74184 To heal you, I couldn’t, sir. I have no power to heal. Only thing I have is a gift that God permits me to do. 185 And now being tired and weak, these visions almost kill me. It’s worse, it’s more harder than preaching, or standing in the pool. It’s hard. But God is good. 186 You are suffering with something wrong of the spine. And that’s a growth, they tell you, on your spine. That’s exactly right. Now will you believe? 187 Now look. More I would talk to the man, more would be said. I want to ask you now, just be reverent. Be reverent. You pray for somebody, and see if the Lord will reveal it. I’ll ask any of you to do the same thing, just get on your mind… 188 Why, see, there’s nothing in me. I couldn’t help you. I’m a man. 189 And, but Jesus is God, and He’s present. Can’t you…Is your eyes open to—to see that? Aren’t you looking a past the curtain, to see? For two thousand years, here He’s been; He’s talked to you, in the Word; He’s talked to you, in your sermon, all along. And here He is now, making Hisself manifested.
75190 I’m trying to hold you on my heart. [The brother says, “My back is bothering me.”—Ed.] Yes, I see you examined. It’s on your spine. It’s a growth. And you’re praying for your wife. If God will show me what’s wrong with your wife, will you believe me as His prophet? It’s her ears. Not only that, but I see a young man appear. That’s your son. If God will reveal to me what’s the matter with your son, will you believe me to be His prophet? Will the audience believe it? Boy, here, it’s a nervous condition and a skin condition. That’s exactly right. That’s THUS SAITH THE LORD. Do you believe you receive what you ask for? [The brother says, “Amen.”—Ed.] Then go on your road and rejoice. 191 How many believes with all your heart?
76192 Now I want you to do something for me. Lay your hands over on one another, just for a minute. Just wherever you’re standing, lay your hands on one another. 193 What a time! Can’t you see, friends? Can’t you understand that this can’t be me? 194 Yes, the little lady is there with the glasses on, with that female trouble, that discharge. Don’t worry about it, anymore, setting there. It’s over. It turns Light. It’s gone from you.
77195 Something is present; Something that’s supernatural, Something that’s real. He knows your sins. He knows all about you. Isn’t He the Lord Jesus? Then, I’m telling you. If I’ve told you that to be the truth, and He’s proved it to be the truth, I’m telling you the truth now. Every one of you can be healed right now, if you’ll just accept it; not from your head, but from your heart. If you’ll settle it now, that you’re in the Presence of the omnipotent God, that He’s present now, there’s no need for a feeble person to go out of this building. Every one of us can go out perfectly whole, if you’ll just believe it. If He hears my prayer here, He’ll hear my prayer out there. He not only hear my prayer, He’ll hear your prayer.
78196 Now, the Bible said, “He’s the same yesterday, today, and forever.” He has proved that. The Bible said, “He’s raised from the dead.” He’s proved that. Is that right? 197 Now I want to ask you something. Jesus said this, His last Words before He left the earth, “These signs shall follow them that believe.” How many believers in here? Say, “Amen.” [Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.] You are the believer now. “These signs shall follow them that believe. If they lay their hands on the sick, they shall recover.” Is that promise true? Well, you’re the believers. You’ve got your hands on one another. Then, the Bible is right. 198 Now each one of you pray for one another, just the way you do in your own church. Lay your hands on one another, each one pray for one another, as you lay your hands on one another now. Just pray for one another, while I pray now.
79199 O Lord, if Thou does come tonight and receives Your Church, we’re without an excuse. You are here. And as this picture hangs on the wall, of the Pillar of Fire that led the children of Israel, You’re still the same God tonight, with the same power and the same demonstrations. You have raised from the dead, and this is the proof that You’ve raised from the dead. Now, Lord God, do a great work in the hearts of the people. Forgive every sin, and heal every sickness. Answer their prayers, Lord. And now hear the prayer of Your servant. 200 I now condemn every disease, every demon, every power of the devil; and say to the devil, “Get out of this people. Come out of them, in the Name of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Leave this people. They’ve got their hands on one another. They are servants of God. Come out, Satan. I adjure thee, in the Name of Jesus. Come out, and be thou cast out into darkness, and bother them no more. In the Name of Jesus Christ.”
80201 How many of you believe God healed you just now? Stand up on your feet. If you’re a cripple, stand up anyhow. That’s it. Did I not tell you, you shall see the glory of God? If there’s any cripples in here that could not walk, walk up-and-down the aisle. If there’s anyone here that was deaf in one ear, put your finger in the good ear and hear out of the bad one. Anybody here that was afflicted, couldn’t raise up their hand; raise up. Christ…Look at—look at the hands going up, that was afflicted in their hand. Amen. I said He’s here. 202 All right, Sister Gertie. He lives, He lives, Christ Jesus lives today! He walks with me and He talks with me along life’s narrow way. He lives, He lives, salvation to impart! You ask me how I know He lives? He lives within my heart. 203 Again, everybody! He lives, He lives, Christ Jesus lives today! He walks with me, He talks with me along life’s narrow way. He lives, He lives, salvation to impart! You ask me how I know He lives? He lives within my heart. 204 Let this great audience say, “Hallelujah!” [Congregation says, “Hallelujah!”—Ed.] The Lord lives! “The Lord lives!” Praise His Name! “Praise His Name!” Hallelujah! “Hallelujah!” He lives, He lives, Let’s wave our hands to Him. …Jesus lives today! He walks with me, He talks with me along life’s narrow way. He lives, He lives, salvation to impart! You ask me how I know He lives? He lives within my heart.
81205 How many love that old song, say, “Amen!” [Congregation says, “Amen!”—Ed.] Shake hands with the person next to you. Say, “Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!” Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! All right, My Faith Looks Up To Thee. Oh, how won-… …faith looks up to Thee, Thou Lamb of Calvary, Saviour Divine; Now hear me while I pray, Take all my guilt away, O let me from this day Be wholly Thine!
82206 Let us bow our heads now, reverently, in the Presence of the omnipotent and Almighty God. May the Lord God grant His blessing to each one. May the Lord bless you, each one, richly, give to you the best that there is. May His grace rest upon you, everyone raising for their healing. Don’t never deny it. Many has been saved. Many accepted Christ. Christ revealing the secrets of the heart. 207 We invite you back, strangers, to our tabernacle, to our worship. 208 I sang just a little while, so that anointing would kind of leave me for a minute, so that I could speak. I’m glad you were here. It’s been a great day to be with you. God bless you. 209 To the tabernacle, next Sunday night is communion, footwash. Any of you people in our neighborhood, stop and see us. Pray for us until we meet again. 210 Let’s bow our heads now. We’re going to ask the pastor, come dismiss us, or say what he wishes.
