1 Thank you very much, Brother Borders. 2 You may be seated. [Someone speaks to Brother Branham—Ed.] (If you please.) I certainly deem this a great privilege of being here this evening to begin this campaign here in this lovely city. I’m suppose I’m a little too close to that. Can you hear all right out there? Can you hear back in the back all right? That’s fine.

23 We been looking forward to coming here for some time. I can remember my early days of my ministry, how that I ministered here in Oregon, and the Lord did bless in such a wonderful way. There’s no doubt but there’s people here tonight who was in those campaigns back in 1948, ’49, along in there, at Portland, and Ashland, and Salem, I believe, and, oh, I don’t know, several different cities, Eugene, Grants Pass. We had great meetings, the Lord blessed wonderfully. 4 And I always wanted to get back out here and catch some of these trout that you people are missing, but I just haven’t had a chance yet. And looks like every time I come I’m on a mission to preach. But maybe I can, no, I can’t retire, ministers don’t retire, do they, brethren? They just can’t retire. So maybe someday, I’ll just take off and go with some of my brethren here, fishing. I noticed today, coming down, everywhere we seen was fishing license, hunting license, and that certainly looked good to a tired, wore-out preacher.

35 And so, we are very glad to be here to start this ten-day campaign here in your lovely city. And we’re trusting that it’ll be a great blessing to you and to me. We are here for no purpose but to bring our ministry to you to help further the cause that you’re now contending for, that is the faith once delivered to the saints. We are not here to bring anything different, but just to help our brethren, to pitch our ministry in with theirs, to—to move along towards the Kingdom of God. 6 We truly believe that the Lord Jesus will come someday in a physical body, just like He was taken up, and it looks to me like that that time is certainly drawing nigh. When we see all kinds of signs appearing of His—His—of His Coming, and the Scriptures being fulfilled, and we just wonder how much longer it will be until we’ll see that blessed One that we’ve looked for so long.

47 If I’m not mistaken, the last time I was in Oregon, or one time, I was with Doctor F. F. Bosworth, great, gallant soul. Died at eighty-four years old recently, never died, just went to sleep. I went to see him, and I heard he was dying, and I went to see him, and when I got there, the aged, old prophet laying on his little bed, and we come in the door, he raised those little bony arms out, we had just come from Africa together on great campaign, I took him in my arms, and I cried, “My father, my father, the chariots of Israel, and the horsemen thereof!” Such a gallant old soldier for Christ. And I said to him while I was there, I said, “Brother Bosworth, when was you the most happiest in all your Christian experience?” He said, “Right now, Brother Branham.” And I said, “Do you realize that you are going?” He said, “Sure.” And I said, “Why could you say that while you know that death is right on you now?” 8 He said, “Brother Branham, all that I have stood for and lived for for better than fifty years, I’m expecting Him to walk in that door at any minute to take me with Him.” I thought of the Psalm Of Life : Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, With partings, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time. 9 If…That was a footprint to me, to know that after better than fifty-five years of ministry on the field, preaching many years before I was born, that still at the end of the road, Jesus meant more to him than any time in his life.

510 And about one hour before he went to be with the Lord Jesus, before He came in and got him, he was, been laying on bed, sleeping, and he woke up, looked in the room, his wife came in, and his son, many of the loved ones. And he looked around the room, and raised up and shook hands for over an hour with friends of his that had been gone on for thirty or forty years, shook hands, said, “Well, I remember you, you came to Christ in my meeting at Joliet. I remember you, you was at Montreal, when you…” And called them by name, someone who had been dead for years and gone on. The saints don’t die, they just go to be with the Lord, that’s all. 11 And then finally, after meeting his mother and father, and all, come back and laid down on a little cot there, folded his arms, closed his eyes, went to meet the Lord. Such a gallant man. I’m sure that, we could ever have the privilege of visiting that great Land before the Coming of the Lord, that we’ll see Brother Bosworth there with his friends, happy, enjoying Eternal Life to its sublime.

612 Now, we come to this city with, on the invitation of our precious brethren here, the different denominations and different phases of the Christian faith. And we come to join forces with them for the benefit of this community, for this city, and for the round about regions, that it’ll make it a—a harder place to do wrong, after this meeting, a easier place to do right, after this meeting, come to make life a little sweeter for you, see that, if we can pray a prayer of faith, that God will heal the sick in the communities along with our brethren, to make a call to the sinners, maybe the last call that they’ll ever receive, that they’ll enter into that blessed Land where only the redeemed can go, and that’s what we’re here for, purposely. 13 Our main purpose is to see you be prepared for that; next is to pray for the sick and see that they get well, praying to the Lord; and then another thing, is to those who have strayed away from church, to go back to your church and take up your fellowship again among the believers; and then, also, we would like to get those who backslid and gone away, back into the precious fellowship of the church again, with the people.

714 Now, we’ll try not to keep you long each night. Tonight, being just my first time here, perhaps, maybe not five or six people here that I ever seen in my life, or ever seen me. But I am…You know, the first night it’s usually kind of hard. 15 You say, “You know, I don’t like the way that preacher wears his tie.” 16 Well, my wife doesn’t, either. So I—I…You know, and something another …I used to say, “The way he combed his hair,” but that’s out of the question now. 17 And so we…Just something you have to meet, and meet the person. And then after a night or two, you get acquainted, then the Holy Spirit moves in and begins to bless us, and all the little, you know, as I call it, the little frictions and the little bugs combed out. And then we—we’re ready then to go into the worship. And we got ten days, the Lord willing, for this, we pray that it will be a great thing.

818 Now, it’s—it’s not my meeting, it’s our meeting, we are together. And every little effort that we can put forth, even to speak to somebody to come, send and get some poor, sick person and bring them in to be prayed for, get some poor, strayed sinner, that they might come in to be saved, get some unbeliever to come in, set back and watch the meetings, maybe he might change his attitude. 19 Just—just remember, many great infidels has been converted just listening at the Gospel. How can you be converted unless you hear the Gospel? Because, “Faith cometh by hearing, hearing the Word of God.” 20 And now we’re going to open this precious Word, and read just a verse out of It, or two, for a little text, to find a context. Then I believe that Billy was supposed to give out some prayer cards tonight. I…Did he do it? Raise up your hands if there is anybody got…He did it. All right.

921 Sometimes on the first night, we don’t pray for the sick. We just…We never have any set, cut, dried program, we just let the Holy Spirit lead. I think that’s what the people want, is just let the Spirit of the Lord lead. We don’t know what He will have us to do. But if we’ll just keep ourselves prayed up, don’t overeat, eat least that you can, and pray, call on the phone, get somebody to come, attend every meeting you possibly can, and I’m sure that with all that effort, God will meet us more than halfway on the ground, I believe that. 22 Now, just before we read His Word, we believe This to be the Word of God, we believe This to be the true Word of God. Everything that’s in Here is God’s Word. You believe that, the whole church? That’s good.

1023 Just a few weeks ago, there was a grocery man lives out the lane from where I live, and he’s a very staunch believer, a Catholic, and he said to me, he said, “Brother Branham, I’ve often wondered why you wasn’t a Catholic.” And I said, “I am a Catholic.” “Oh,” he said, “I—I don’t understand.” I said, “Yes, I am Catholic.” And he said, “I—I—I never see you at our church, and you’ve got a church down here,” and said, “I—I—I just don’t get that.” 24 I said, “Well, I want to ask you: Is it true that the Catholic church believes that this Bible is a history of the early Catholic church, that Jesus Christ established the Catholic church, Peter was the first pope, and that The Acts Of The Apostles is the acts of the early Catholic church?” 25 He said, “That’s exactly true.” Because many of my people are Catholic, I’m Irish and kind of know their—their doctrine. So, he said, “That’s true.”

1126 I said, “Well, and then the reason you don’t live by this Bible now, because that—that the pope has a, the church, the pope has a right to change anything in the Scripture that he wants to, because he was given the rights to do that, and this is just the history of the first church.” He said, “Yes, sir.” 27 I said, “Well, see,” I said, “I believe I’m more of a Catholic than you are.” I said, “Because you’re one of these new—new-day Catholics, the one that takes the doctrine of the Catholic church today, and I’m an old-fashioned Catholic, that believes what the old-fashioned Catholic wrote and done.” 28 I said, “Surely, they ought to know more about it, they walked with the Lord Jesus. And Peter, the first pope, said, ‘There’s no other mediator between God and man, but the Man Christ Jesus.’” And I said, “I—I just kind of believe that.” And I said, “I—I teach just exactly like the early Catholic church did, just what they wrote in the Bible of what they done.” He said, “I believe you got something, son.”

1229 So that’s right. Oh, I just love God’s Word, It’s certainly Food to us to study It together, read It. I’m not a theologian, I’m have not the education to be a theologian, and I don’t try to be. I just love the Lord Jesus, and just try to walk the way He would have me to walk, and say what He has me to say, and pray for the sick people. And He’s blessed me so far, and I believe He will bless us tonight. 30 Now, before we open His precious Word, let’s bow our heads just a moment, while we speak to the Author.

1331 Our Gracious Heavenly Father, we come to Thee just as humble as we know how. We come approaching Thee in the Name of Thy loving Son, the Lord Jesus, knowing this, that He said, “Ask the Father anything in My Name, I’ll do it.” Then we know that we have a right to approach You, come by the way of His Name, coming by the cross, asking mercy and forgiveness of sin and healing for our sick bodies, and for the grace of Thy Presence, Lord, in this meeting, to just continue to be with us night after night. 32 May this beginning and this revival be just a beginning of an old-fashioned revival that’ll break out through this valley, and every church, and amongst all the people, that people will come from over these mountains everywhere to learn of the Lord. Grant it, Lord. 33 Bless our ministering brethren, these anointed disciples of Yours, that has held forth the fort here, bringing out the truths of the Gospel and preaching that without favor of men and standing for truth. And how that You have blessed them! We pray that this meeting will be a stepping stone to them, Lord, that it will inspire them in their meeting, and in their churches, and their people.

1434 And when the services is over, may there not be one among us but what has received Thy Spirit. May there not be one feeble person walking among us, but may the Holy Spirit heal every one. Grant it, Lord. Call back to fellowship those who have strayed away, Father God. 35 And when we leave tonight, to go to our separate homes to begin a new day tomorrow, may we say like those who came from Emmaus, “Did not our hearts burn within us, as He talked to us along the way?” We know that He did something before them, just like He did it before His crucifixion, no other man ever did it like that. And when He got them on the inside and He closed the door, then He did this thing that He did before, and they recognized, quickly, that it was Him.

1536 God, we’ve come into this school auditorium tonight, to which we are thankful for, we pray that You’ll bless the school, and—and the teachers, and the principals, and the trustees, and all that’s concerned, because they’ve opened the doors to a religious meeting. 37 And we’ve come in and closed, as it was, the world on the outside, may You come among us, tonight, and reveal Yourself the way You did it before You were crucified, then we’ll know that You are the risen Lord. It’ll strengthen our faith, Lord, we’ll give Thee the praise. For we ask it, in the Name of our Saviour, the Lord Jesus. Amen.

1638 The Lord add His blessings to the reading of His Word now. I want take just a—a little Scripture reading, found in Saint John 12th chapter, 20th verse: And there were certain Greeks…came up to worship at the feast: And the same came…to Philip, which was of Bethsaida…, and desired…of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus. 39 Now, our theme is this, been our, my theme since I was here before, or, in Oregon: “Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever.” That’s found in Hebrews 13:8, “Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever.” And now, on this familiar, to many of you people, this little Scripture: Sirs, We Would See Jesus.

1740 This Greek asked this question. He came to Philip, to a minister, and asked to see the Lord Jesus, and was granted the privilege of seeing the Lord Jesus, by a minister of the Lord Jesus. And then, if Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever, why can’t we ministers, then, bring to the people, or the people to the Lord Jesus, just as Philip brought these Greeks to the Lord Jesus? For He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Now, it’s—it’s as sensible, and it’s—it’s Scriptural, and it’s just as logical as it was in that day, if He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. 41 Now, I believe that the Scriptures cannot tell anything that’s wrong. There is many things in the Scriptures that I only wish I was able, with faith enough, to make them real to the people, but I would never stand in the way of anybody that could do it. If I couldn’t take a walk like Enoch one afternoon with the Lord, and just get so overjoyed till I just walk up Home with Him, I—I would not stand in anybody’s way that did have that much faith, that could just walk up Home with Him without dying, or tasting death in this world.

1842 And we are trying today, as we see the end time approaching, there should be end time appearings of the Lord Jesus that He predicted in the Scripture, because whatever He said, it must come to pass. 43 Now, we ourselves are finite, we can make many mistakes, and I make more than all, because we are finite, but He is infinite, and He cannot make a mistake. Now, I can promise you something, and with the very best of my ability I can say, “I really mean that,” and then, but not be able to fulfill what I promised, because circumstances would alter cases, but not so with God, He cannot make a promise that He cannot fulfill. 44 Moses thought the same thing, or Abraham, rather, “Staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong, giving praise to God; for he was fully persuaded that, what God had promised, God was able to perform.” Therefore, all the Scriptures that God has given to us are promises.

1945 Now, we get ourselves worked in with the human element of the time element, and the only thing we know is inches, feet, yards, miles, measurement, days, weeks, hours, months, years, but God’s Eternal, He’s—He’s…we have limited powers and limited intelligence, but God is infinite in all things. He knows all things, knew all things before the world began, He knew this meeting would be here tonight, He knowed all things before there was a world, ’cause He could tell what would be in the end time from the beginning, makes Him God. Nothing else, no one else, no other being, no other person could ever do that, but God alone.

2046 Now, we sometimes wonder why we…He’s so great, and yet why we don’t see Him more than what we do. Now, if I would go down in the city tonight to each denomination of church, and I would say, “Do you believe that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever?” to their lovely pastor. He would say, “I certainly do.” I would say, “That’s very fine.” Well then, I would say, “Do you believe that He is still the same Saviour that He was?” He would say, “Most certainly, I believe that.” “Do you believe that He lives today as He did then, only in the form of the person of the Holy Spirit?” “Certainly, I believe that.” 47 “Then if He died and through His great, holy Blood that He gave at Calvary…” Which was not Jewish, or neither was it Gentile, it was the Blood of God. The blood comes from the male sex, and in this case the Male was God, created a Blood Cell in the womb of the virgin that brought forth the Son of God, in which God spread forth His tent and tabernacled with human beings, Emmanuel.

2148 Now, through that Blood, He sanctified a Church that He might continue His work, Himself living in that Church, that’s the Gospel. That makes Him the same yesterday, today, and forever. We are—are— we are absolutely unworthy of any blessing, there’s nothing that we could do to merit that, but by unmerited grace, God gave us this privilege to be called His children, His sons and His daughters, sanctifying us as we confess our sin, sanctifying the world from us, that He might work His way through us by the Holy Spirit to do and will His work.

2249 Now, He said when He was on earth, “The works that I do, shall you also, and greater than this…” The right translation there is more ; no one could do any greater, but He would be in more places. Then, God was manifested in one Man, now He is manifested in the entire Church universal, everywhere. God can work through every man and every woman that will open up their heart, and let the Lord Jesus come in and work His will through them. 50 I don’t care if you don’t even know your ABC’s, just only thing you have to have is a humble, submitted heart to God, and God will work His will through you. That’s right.

2351 You don’t have to know a whole lot, you only have to know one Person, that’s the Lord Jesus, to know Him is Life. That’s the only Person you have to know to have Eternal Life. To know Him, not know the Book, not know the creeds, but know Him is Eternal Life, know Him as your personal Saviour, know Him as the One Who has filled you with His goodness and His mercy, that has sent the world away from you, discharged it, sent it away like the scapegoat in the Old Testament to go into the wilderness to be killed, to be no more. 52 And the very—the very thing that made you sin and do the things that you used to do has been drove from you by His precious Blood that sanctified you and set you aside for His service, that He might will His will through you, to work through you; just as simple, and, to believe it.

2453 Now we, too, would join hands with that minister, saying, “We believe these things.” 54 Now, I might say to this certain person, “Do you believe that He is in every way the same except the carnal, corporal body?” He would say, “Well, I—I don’t believe that He still performs miracles.” 55 Then He isn’t the same, He’s got to be the same, He’s just as much Saviour today as He was then, He’s just as much Healer today as He was then. For the prophet said, “He was wounded for our transgressions, with His stripes we were healed,” see, past tense. 56 I do not believe that man has any magic power to heal people. I believe that the power lays within the individual that’s being prayed for, it’s their faith in Christ that does the healing. Now, the initial and most gracious way of any way to be healed, is to hear the Gospel preached and accept it. That’s the only way to be, the Gospel of salvation, Gospel of deliverance, the full Gospel, full Gospel for the full man, for the full son, for the full daughter. All of the Gospel, all that He said, all that He done, all that He promised is to every person that will believe it. “Whosoever will, let him come.” Methodist, Baptist, Pentecostal…

2557 Well, Pentecost, I’ve never…I’ve been, I was a Baptist minister, you know, I’m just as much Baptist as I ever was. Pentecost is not a denomination, Pentecost is an experience, is an experience that Methodist, Baptist, Catholic, anybody that wants to receive it is welcome to come and receive it. It’s an experience, and you cannot organize an experience, it’s a—it’s a something that God has done to the human being. See? And He will do it to anyone, no matter what church you belong to. 58 Now, in this, now, of course, we have fellowships and organizations, that’s exactly fine, because those brethren congregate together and—and make their organization, which is just exactly right, sure. But I mean, we…You can’t say, “You have to come to the Pentecostal church before you get the experience.” 59 You can get it out in the field if you want to, up there in the woods, down on the street corner. Wherever it is, whatever church you’re in, if you’re still hungering and thirsting for Christ, Christ is here to fill you with the fulness of His power of His Spirit. That’s right. No matter where you are or what you church you belong to, it’s for you.

2660 Now, if He is the same, He’s not just halfway the same or two-thirds the way the same, He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Now, His Word said, “A little while and the world,” which the Greek word there “kosmos” which means the world order , “will see Me no more, yet ye shall see Me,” the church, “for I,” and I is a personal pronoun, “I will be with you, even in you to the end of the world. I will be with you, even in you to the end of the world.” 61 See what His death, burial, and resurrection was? Was to clean and sanctify a Church, set It aside, and fill It with His power to continue the same works that He did, making Him the same yesterday, today, and forever to continue on and on.

2762 Now, the only way that we’ll ever be able to draw from this text, the thing that we want to say, is to find out what He was yesterday, then that will be what He will be today, and what He will be forever. What type of a Person was He? 63 As we see the day approaching, it makes me just shiver to look out upon the streets as I pass through the cities and see and read the newspapers, and hear the broadcasts, and so forth, of sin abounding, in the day of drawing near, and nearer all the time of the Coming of the Lord. But you can’t do nothing about it, because God said it would be just that way. 64 I can speak a voice against wrong, it’s our duties to do that, you and I are supposed to speak against the wrong, the evil. We’ll never be able to conquer it and stop it, it’s just those who has an ear to hear that will hear it, whoever, “All the Father has given Me will come to Me. My sheep hear My Voice.”

2865 Now, then as we see this day appearing, and see God sending great revivals across the country, you Baptists: a Billy Graham; you Methodists: a Jack Shuler; you Pentecostals: an Oral Roberts. Why, what God has done! Great signs, wonders, miracles has taken place throughout the nations everywhere, and continually the nation wades on into sin. You believe that to be the truth? Why, it’s right before our eyes! There’s no way of…Continually getting worse all the time. 66 It reminds me of a little story, a little thing that happened, rather, in Louisville, Kentucky, about six months ago. There was a lady had her little baby, and she was in a, one of those five-and-ten-cent stores in Louisville, and they begin to notice the little sister, she was, picked up little gadgets, you know, and say, “Look, Honey! Look, Honey!” Then she would get nervous and run to another counter, say, “Look, Honey! Look, Honey!” The little baby just set staring, staring.

2967 Then she would go to another counter, and another counter, getting more nervous all the time. Finally, she picked up a little jingle outfit, and she shook it, and she said, “Look, Darling, at this!” Anything ought to attract a little boy’s attention like that, but he just set and looked, stared in space. And she fell down at the counter and begin to scream, she said, “Oh, no! It just can’t be!”

3068 And the people that was in the store, they went to her to find out what was wrong. And she said, “My little boy, about a year ago, set in to just staring in space.” And said, “I have done everything, I’ve had him to the doctor, and the doctor said he thought he was better, but he isn’t.” And said, “I’ve just done everything I can to attract his attention with little gadgets that ought to attract a little boy’s attention of his age.” 69 And said, “This little thing, little horse cart, that it’s got little jingle bells on it, like a little boy near Christmas time, like this, ought to be listening to this little bells in the snow, and so forth,” and said, “and he just sets and stares in space,” said, “he’s no better.” And her little, mother heart screamed out for her baby, because she knew there was something mentally wrong with her baby. 70 I think that’s a great deal with the church today, God has shook every kind of a gift, and things, that He could before the church, and it just sets and stares in space, “Well, that was a very nice meeting. Brother Roberts had a fine meeting. Brother Billy Graham has great speaking.” But they don’t move. 71 What we need today is a soul-stirring revival, something that would go down to cause all-night prayer meetings, men and women getting right with God, and cities turning to God, great signs and wonders would just keep accumulating.

3172 God sends His gifts, He shakes them before our eyes, and if we turn them down, then what can God do about it? If that mother thought that about her baby, what does God think tonight about His church when we’ve had so much before us, great men in the land, Tommy Osborn, Brother Allen? 73 Oh, how many great men has crossed the nation from place to place? All kinds of signs and wonders has showed up right at the end time, and yet, the church sets dazed, say, “It was pretty good. I—I believe I may go to another night, see what will take place at the next meeting.” 74 That’s not the thing to do. What we need when we see God moving in our midst is to get down to business with it, pray and cry out, and do all that we know how to do. Let the Gospel in this last days attract our attention.

3275 The Bible promised that this Gospel would just become so each day, like in the days of Luther, he taught sanctifica-…, or, justification, it come in the minority when He come into the Wesleyan Methodist age through sanctification, then when they settled down to a church and that was all there was to it, God raised up Pentecost, and now it’s got to the place that Pentecost is becoming formal and indifferent, God moves right on, that’s, He won’t stop at all, He goes right on. 76 The children of Israel followed a Pillar of Fire, and every time that Fire stopped, they stopped with It, and if they didn’t move, they was left in the wilderness, they had to move where the Fire moved. That’s the way God’s Church always does, It moves with the Fire.

3377 When Martin Luther saw the Fire, first reformation, he come out of the Catholic church, and he built his denomination under It. The Fire moved into sanctification, he was already organized under that and couldn’t do it, go any farther. Methodist took it, they organized under that, they couldn’t go no farther; Pentecost come and took it from them. 78 Now, if we don’t watch, the Fire will move right on again. Let’s stay under the Fire, worship under the Fire, worship in the power of the Spirit, believing God’s Word, laying aside every weight, and every sin that doth so easily beset us. 79 And what is sin ? Unbelief. “He that believeth not is condemned already.” There’s just two sins, one…two things in the world: One is faith, and the other one is unbelief. Committing adultery, smoking, drinking, that’s not sin, that’s the attributes of sin. You do that because you’re not a believer, a believer doesn’t do those things. You either believe or do not believe.

3480 There is three classes of people, usually, attends the meetings anywhere, and that’s unbelievers, make believers, and real believers. And they’re always that crowd, everywhere. And now what we want to do is be real believers, throw our heart into this Word, and let the Word be the…Word of God be the final decision of every one of us. 81 You owe it to me, you owe it to me as a minister, if you ever see anything that’s going on in a meeting that’s not exactly with the Scripture, then you owe it to me to come tell me. That’s right, you do. I believe that God does things that’s not wrote in the Bible, I believe that; God is God, He can do what He wishes to. But as long I know it’s staying right in that cover there, and know that God made a promise, I feeled assured with that. As long as I can have that, I’ll be satisfied with whatever…anything else we… Nothing else will satisfy me like that, as long as I can stay right with that.

3582 Now, the only way to find out what Jesus is today is to go back and find what He was yesterday, if He’s the same yesterday, today, and forever. Is that logical? Is that sensible? Well now, let’s go back then. 83 I was reading here a few moments ago in Saint John the—the 12th chapter, I believe it was. Yes, sir, the 12th chapter, and the 20th, 21st verse. Now, let’s go back at the first Book of Saint John, I want you to study with me. 84 And through the week, so we won’t stay too long, I guess you heard that go off just then, that was my watch, I have an alarm-watch from Switzerland, and I think when I’ve said enough, I—I have that alarm set, but I haven’t got started yet, so I just had to turn it off, that’s all.

3685 Now, Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever. Let’s turn back to the first chapter of Saint John and find out… If you read a book, and it said, “Mary and John lived happy ever after.” Who is Mary and John? You’ll never know till you go back to the first of the book and read the book through. And if the Bible says that “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever,” the only way we’ll ever know what He was…what He should be today, we’ll have to go back to see what He was yesterday. Is that right? 86 Now, let’s find out, we get Saint John 1, we’ll just quote some Scriptures, I want you to read it. I’m going to go over a few chapters in it tonight, tomorrow night pick up some more, and so forth, as we go along, way the Holy Spirit will lead. Well, let’s find out what He was yesterday, then if we can see exactly what He was yesterday, and see Him come into our midst, and do the same thing today, every sick person in here ought to get up and thank God and walk out, say, “It’s all over.”

3787 Now remember, before we get to it, Divine healing is not some magic words that someone says over you. Divine healing: every sick person in here is already healed in the sight of God. “He was wounded for our transgressions.” 88 You say, “Brother Branham, what do you mean by that?” 89 All right, somebody…I would say, “How many was saved twenty years ago?” Lot of hands would go up. “How many was saved two years ago?” Lots of hands would go up. 90 Well, I differen with you, you were saved nineteen hundred years ago when Jesus died for you at Calvary, you just accepted it twenty years ago and two years ago. See? That’s your salvation, the plan is finished, Jesus said at the cross, “It is finished.” The whole plan of man’s redemption was finished, and every blessing that he needed in life’s journey was completed at the cross, for there “He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquity, the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; with His stripes we were healed.” You believe that? Now, there we are.

3891 Now, we’ll go back then to catch what He was. Now, we find out in Saint John the 1st chapter, there was a fellow named Andrew. We know about His birth, and—and about His preaching of the…going into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil, and then after forty days, He came back out. 92 And there was a man by the name of Andrew that went and got his brother, Peter, and brought Simon Peter, which his name was not that at that time, and his name was Simon, but not Peter, Peter means “a little stone,” so he brought him into the Presence of the Lord Jesus. His ministry was young now, Saint John the 1st chapter. He brought him to the Lord Jesus, and as soon as Jesus looked at him, He said, “Your name is Simon, and your father, you’re the son of Jonas.” Is that right? “Your name is Simon, and your father’s name is Jonas.” 93 This illiterate fisherman, who the Scripture says that he was both ignorant and unlearned. Did you know the Bible said that the first pope, according to the doctrine of the Catholic church, was ignorant and unlearned? The Bible said, “He was ignorant and unlearned.” Saint John 4. And he…I mean Acts the 4th chapter, I beg your pardon, and he was both ignorant and unlearned, but they had to take notice he had been with Jesus.

3994 And as soon as He said that, quickly he recognized Him to be the Son of God. Why? Why did he recognize it? Because, if there’s any Jewish people in here, you’ll know it, any Bible reader will know it, that the Jews were looking for a Messiah to come. Is that right? Moses said, “The Lord, your God shall raise up a Prophet liken unto me.” Is that right? And they knowed this Messiah would be a God-Prophet that would give the sign of a prophet like Moses was, for that was the prophet they were looking for. 95 And when He said to Simon, “Your name is Simon, and you are the son of Jonas,” quickly he recognized that That was the Messiah that they were looking for.

4096 We find out a few days after that, there was a fellow named Philip, and he was so enthused, he really got in contact with Christ. And I believe beyond any shadow of doubt, that when a man comes in contact with Christ once, he can never be the same no more as long as he ever lives. There’s something about Him that’s different from any other man, or any other person, once meet Him, and you’ll know you never met anyone like that before. 97 No wonder they set back, and said, “Why, never a man spake like this Man!” You once here Him speak, that still small Voice in—in your heart, that attracted the prophet, not even the fire and thunder and everything else didn’t attract him, but that still small Voice, he veiled his face and come to the end of the cave; it’s that meeting Christ once. 98 Then we find, notice, when Philip had got in contact with the Lord Jesus, he was concerned about all of his friends. There is something about Him, that whenever you get in contact with Him, He changes you so much till you want everybody else to have that wonderful fellowship, there is something about it. 99 Oh, it attracts and makes your heart yearn. It’ll drive you to the frozen regions of the north, or to the tropical jungles in the south in the midst of all kinds of devil worship, and everything else, to snatch a soul from the hands of the enemy, whenever you have once found that precious Jewel, the Lord Jesus Christ.

41100 Quickly, he knowed he had a friend that was, belonged to the orthodox church, and he took out to find him. Now, if you’ll go to Palestine, you’ll find out it takes a good day, about fifteen miles to walk around the mountains, and so forth, to get to where Philip went over to find Nathanael. 101 And I can imagine, let’s take a little journey and listen at him a minute, I can see him going up to Nathanael’s door and knocking at the door [Brother Branham knocked on the pulpit—Ed.] , and—and his wife come to the door, he says, “Well, how do you do?” Said, “Where is Brother Nathanael?” “Well, Brother Philip, we’re so glad to see you. Believe he’s out in the orchard, he was out looking his olive grove over.” 102 Out through the orchard he went, and he found, under that fig tree back there, a man knelt down, praying. Of course, him being a Christian gentleman, he stood still until he got through praying. I want you to notice, he never jumped up and shook his hand, and asked about how everything was going on. When a man meets Jesus, his heart is on fire, he’s got no time for nothing else but Jesus, that’s it, he’s just got to tell somebody about it. Watch, quickly he said, “Come see Who we have found, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph!”

42103 Not, “How do you do?” or “How is everything getting along? Is the—is the fig trees bearing good this year?” Not…No, sir, the message was urgent. 104 And if it was urgent then, what about now? If it was urgent then when we had two thousand years, yet, for the Gospel to be preached, and this is the end time, well, how much more is it urgent today? Too many social affairs, too many parties, too many other things besides the real Message of the Lord Jesus straight to the core. “Come see what I found. Come get this experience of the precious Holy Spirit that’s come into my life that’s changed me, that converted me from what I was to what I am now.” Oh, how thankful we are for this!

43105 He found Nathanael under this tree, and he said, “Come see Who I found, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph!” 106 Well, I can imagine this great, orthodox believer rising up, dusting off his Palestinian garment, the dust from it, he said, “Now, Philip, I know you to be a good, sane man, and what’s this that—that you’re telling me? ‘Come see Jesus of Nazareth’? Could any good thing come out of Nazareth?” 107 Well, I think that Philip give him the best answer I ever heard in my life, he said, “Come, see.” 108 That’s the idea. Don’t sit home and criticize, come, see for yourself. “Search the Scriptures, in Them you think you have Eternal Life, and They are They that testify of Me,” said the Lord Jesus. 109 Now, he said, “Come, see.”

44110 I can imagine as they go along the road on over, well, he was willing to go, oh, I can hear him telling about the seeing the Holy Spirit coming upon the Lord Jesus at the baptism, how He went out into the wilderness, “Why,” he said, “when It started, It was just that Pillar of Fire that was following the children of Israel as we come to this land; and then when It got closer, It looked like a dove; then the next thing, It was in three different symbols; then It fell into Him, and a Voice spoke, saying, ‘This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased.’”

45111 Then I can hear him say, “Do you know that old fisherman that we went to buy them fish from that time, and he was so illiterate, he couldn’t sign his name to a—a receipt, that you wanted a receipt?” “Yes, I remember it.” 112 “Why, just yesterday before I left, why, he came up before the Lord Jesus, his brother went and got him, and so he brought him up here, and when He saw Peter, or, Simon, He said, ‘Your name is Simon, and you’re the son of Jonas.’ Oh, it wouldn’t surprise me, Nathanael, but when you walk up before Him, He will say, ‘Your name is Nathanael.’” 113 “Oh now, just a minute now, Philip, you’re going just a little bit too deep with that. He will never read my mind, I’m—I’m one of them strong-minded men, He will—He will never read my mind. I’ll never believe that.”

46114 Well, he comes on up till he gets in the Presence of the Lord Jesus. No doubt as soon as he heard Him speak, that Man spoke different from any man he had ever heard, He spoke with authority, He knowed what He was talking about. 115 So, He said to, standing speaking, or in the prayer line, or whatever position He was in when Philip and Nathanael came up, Jesus turned His eyes and looked out into the congregation, and into the line, wherever it was, and said, “Behold an Israelite, in whom there is no guile!” 116 Well, some critic might say, “Sure He knowed he was a Israelite, they was in Palestine.” 117 There were Greeks, there were Arabians. There were all…They all dressed in the eastern garment, not the way he was dressed, not his color of brown, it would have not made any difference. But Jesus knew that he was an orthodox believer, He said, “Behold an Israelite, in whom there is no guile!”

47118 Now Philip…Nathanael was a well-trained scholar, so he said, “Rabbi,” which means teacher , “when did You know me? How did You know that I was a—a—a man with no guile?” I’d say today a honest, good man. “How did You know it?” 119 He said, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the tree, I saw you.” That was Jesus yesterday, if He’s the same yesterday, today, and forever, that’s Jesus today. 120 You know what Philip said when He, I mean, Nathanael said when He did this? He said, “Rabbi, Thou art the Son of God; Thou art the King of Israel.” Jesus said to him, “Because I’ve told you this, you believe? Then you’ll see greater things than this.” 121 You get it? There it is. See? He believed it, because he knew that the Messiah would be a God-Prophet, a Man that stood and would prophesy and could foretell, foresee, and forthtell, also He would be Emmanuel. 122 He said, “Rabbi, Thou art the Son of God; Thou art the King of Israel.” He believed it, and he, his name is immortal among men tonight and his soul is immortal with God. He will live forever, because he recognized it at the beginning, and said, “Rabbi, You’re the Son of God.”

48123 Now, course there were those standing by who didn’t believe that, there were many of the priests standing by, great men, religious men, good men stood by, and they had to answer to their congregation. They knowed the thing was being done, and that was more of a miracle than healing the sick, because it could be that the sick could get up, but that could not be, it had to be some supernatural power. 124 So, instead of trying to explain it, you know what they did? They just classed it as the devil, and they said, “He is Beelzebub, the prince of the devils, he does these signs through that.” Beelzebub, a fortuneteller, and anybody knows that fortunetelling is of the devil; that’s the devil and the devil’s works. All right. So he said, “He is a devil.”

49125 Jesus turned around, and said, “You say that against Me, the Son of man, I’ll forgive you for it. But,” in otherwise like this, “there is coming a day that when the Holy Ghost will come, and He will do the same thing, and whosoever speaks one word against It, will never be forgiven, in this world, neither in the world that is to come.” See? It was new to them then. Now, Christ has died, now the Holy Spirit is here. 126 Then, read the next verse: “Because they call the Spirit of God an unclean spirit,” called the Spirit of God Who knew those things and was revealing it to the secrets of the heart, as the God-Prophet was supposed to do, they said, “He is a evil person. It’s a bad spirit in him, some kind of a Beelzebub, a devil, that’s in Him that’s reading the minds of those people, that’s what’s doing that.”

50127 Oh, what a horrible sin: unbelief! Why, those people, there was nothing against their lives, they were holy, just priests in a lineage of priests. They had to be Levites, they had to be borned a certain, their daddy, their grandfather, and their great-grandfather on back had to be priests. They knowed the law, they knowed the Word just exactly letter by letter, lived in it day and night from childhood up, no one could put a finger on their life, and yet, Jesus said, “You are of your father, the devil,” because they believed not when they seen the work of God going on. They… 128 He condemned them, because that they believed not. The worst thing there is is to disbelieve God; that’s the only sin there is, unbelief, to disbelieve It.

51129 Now, we find…Let’s go with him a little farther. Let’s go over now, that’s Acts, uh, Saint John the 1st, the 2nd chapter, let’s go to Saint John the 4th chapter. 130 Now, there was three classes of people in the world then, there’s three classes of people, three generations of people, or classes of people, rather, in the world today, and them was out of the three sons of Noah. If we believe the Bible, the whole world, the generations, all the people in the world, come down from those three children, Ham, Shem, and Japheth, those three sons: Jew, Gentile, and Samaritan. 131 Now, the Samaritans was looking for a Messiah, also. And when the Messiah comes, He comes to those who is looking for Him. You believe that? I believe when He comes for His Church, He will come to the Church that’s looking for Him to come. Now, don’t let it parallel that one, “He came to His Own, His Own received Him not.” But then, He had made Hisself known to the Jews by performing this certain sign, that they knowed that He was the Messiah.

52132 Now, He had need to go by Samaria. Samaria was the…You know, you, ministers and Bible readings know of how the Samaritan race raised up. Now, we find out that they were looking for a Messiah, too. And Jesus came to the well there, Sychar, and along about noon He sent His disciples away to get some food. 133 And there was a woman, let’s think that she was a ill-famed woman, and she was living with her sixth husband, and she came out to the well to get some water. No doubt your pastor has preached on it a many time, but I’m trying to say what He was yesterday, so that you can see what He would be today. 134 Now, He has made Himself known to the Jews. Many other places we’ll get to later, but just to hit the point. In a few minutes we’ll call the prayer line.

53135 Now, He comes to this woman, or this woman comes to get water, rather, and it’s about noontime, and I can see her coming out with her—her hair hanging down, not combed. And she had the—the pitcher on her shoulder, as the oriental women usually carry it. 136 They can put five gallon of water on top of their head, five gallon on a hip, and five gallon over here , walk right on talking to one another, and never spill a drop, just as perfectly balanced. 137 And this woman maybe had this waterpot. Let’s see, she might have been, because she had been out all night and just got in, the reason that she was…or overslept. It might have been because she couldn’t come to the well with the decent type of women. There was a great segregation among that in them days, an unclean woman couldn’t mix with the—with the clean women.

54138 So anyhow, she was at the well. And Jesus…It’s kind of a panoramic, the well there at Sychar, something like this, vines growed up over the wall, and the city well there where the people come to get their water. I can see the woman come up, take the two big handles, and put the hooks in it, and let the windle down to get water. And she heard a Voice said, “Woman, bring Me a drink.” 139 And she looked over, and she seen a middle-aged, Jewish Man, setting over against the well. Perhaps He looked a little older than what He really was, I believe when He was about thirty, they told Him that He looked fifty. 140 They said, “You are a man yet not no more than fifty years old, and you say that you’ve seen Abraham?” He said, “Before Abraham was, I AM.” 141 So they—they…But He looked fifty when He was only thirty. And so He might have looked a little aged setting back there, maybe a little streak of gray in His hair or beard, because the great burden, the sins of the world was placed upon His shoulders. And there He set there.

55142 She seen this Jew. And they had a segregation in those days, just like there used to be in the north and south between the—the white and the colored people. But, then she said, “It’s not customary for you Jews to ask Samaritan woman such a thing as that.” Said, “We have no—we have no dealings with one another.” 143 Listen at the Voice come back: “Woman, if you knew Who It was that speaks with you, you would ask Me for a drink; I give you Water you don’t come here to draw.” And she said, “The well is deep, and You have nothing to draw with.”

56144 The conversation went on about worshipping in this mountain, up at Jerusalem, and so forth. After while, Jesus standing there, He had need to go by, the Father sent Him there, and then He didn’t know what would happen, what would be doing? He was trying to find what the woman’s trouble was. When He found her trouble, how many knows what it was? Sure, she was living in sin. And He, what did He say? “Go, get your husband, and come here.” She said, “I have no husband.” He said, “Thou has said well, for you have had five husbands, and therefore, the one you’re living with now is not your husband.” 145 Now, did she say, “That man is Beelzebub”? No, sir. Did she say, “He’s…He must be something wrong with him, He must have a—a horrible case of mental telepathy”? No, sir. She knowed more about God than half the ministry does today. That’s right.

57146 She said, “Sir, I perceive that You are a Prophet.” Amen. “I perceive that You are a Prophet. We Samaritans, we know that when the Messiah cometh, He will tell us these things, but Who are You?” 147 He said, “I am He that speaks to you.” Too bad that we don’t know the same thing, isn’t it? That’s right. 148 She said, “We know, we Samaritans know that when that Messiah cometh, He will be a God-Prophet, He will tell us these things.” She was taught, yet in her sins, she knowed what to look for when she seen it. And she said, “Sir, I perceive that You are a Prophet, and I know that when the Messiah cometh, He will tell us these things.” He said, “I am He that speaks to you.” 149 And she dropped her waterpot and ran into the city. Listen at her: “Come see a Man that told me the things that I’ve done. Isn’t This the very Messiah?” And the Bible said that the men of that city believed on Him because of the saying of the woman. Oh, my!

58150 That was Jesus yesterday, that was the way Jesus made Hisself known. He never one time represented Hisself amongst the Gentiles like that. Why? The Gentiles wasn’t looking for Him. The Gentiles, we had a club on our shoulder, serving idols in them days, but the Jews was looking for a Messiah, and the Samaritans was looking for a Messiah. But we’ve had two thousand years of church world, and we are looking for a Messiah in the last days. Did you know He promised He would do the same thing? We’ll get to it later in the week. I’ll give you one right now. 151 Jesus said over in There, just before we close, Jesus said over in the Scriptures, when He’s telling about the Coming of the…His Second Coming, the sea roaring, waves, and ever so forth, things taking place, mighty signs would be taking place, He said, “As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man.”

59152 Did you notice when He said in the days of Noah, He give what they were doing, so that the spiritual mind would be able to pick it up? He has hid it from the eyes of the wise and prudent. Get on your spiritual eyesight now, get on your spiritual understanding. He said, “As it was in the days of Noah, they were eating, drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage.” But He said, “As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man.” 153 Now watch, we’ve always had three classes of people, three races of people, three different stages of the people, look, there was the Sodomite sinner to who wouldn’t have it; there was Lot, the lukewarm church member down there preaching in Sodom; and there was Abraham, the called-out and Elected. I feel religious right now. Look, all the called-out, the separated people…The Church means, “separated, called out from the world.”

60154 There was Abraham, the called-out, having life kind of hard, persecuted, made fun of, setting out in the wilderness on the bare ground in the shade of the oak tree. But when the hour of the Message came, he looked out in the heat of the day, and he seen three men coming up, dust all over their clothes, and Abraham looked again, he knowed there was just something about it. A real borned-again child of God knows the Spirit of God when It strikes. Yes, sir. “My sheep know My Voice.” 155 Abraham looked real quick, he walked out where they was, and said, “Turn aside, come, set under the oak a little bit, and let…rest yourselves. And I’ll fetch you a little water and wash your feet, and I’ll give you a morsel of bread, then go on your way.”

61156 Well, they come by and set down, strangers from a strange Land. Oh, sure, a long ways away! And they set down under the tree, he slipped in the tent, let’s break in on their conversation, “Sarah, honey, just as certain as I’m standing there, there He stands right out there. Go right quick and start getting this meal ready, sift it real good, and get it fine upon the hearth there, I want you to bake some cakes.” 157 He run out, felt around, he got the fattest little calf he could find, slayed it, and had it dressed, and come out and fed them meat, and milk, and bread. And I can see ol’ Abraham with the fly bush, you know, as it was shooing the flies. How many Kentuckians are in here, knows—knows what a fly bush is? No, I’m too far away from home. Oh, no, I’m not, no, no, that’s fine. 158 Yes, sir. Well, I’ve stood many times at the table with a—a…Mom used to make a paper thing on a stick when I couldn’t get a green brush, you know, and shoo the flies when we didn’t have no screens, little ol’ cabin door, and no floor on the thing. And just a little ol’ bed in the corner made out of shucks, and, why, certainly, corn shucks. I seen my daddy with a corn shuck shaving brush like that , take that corn shucks for make a shaving brush. We lived hard.

62159 And back in those days, I can see Abraham standing there, watching, you know, there’s something . And women wasn’t as brazen as they are today, they stayed back and take care of their business in them days, so she was back in the tent. Today, she has to run her husband’s business, and all the rest of the business, and everything else. But I ain’t saying that to you sisters, course you all don’t do that, but—but I’m talking about the women of the world. So, Sarah, she stayed back in the tents where she belonged. 160 Abraham said…begin to notice One of them begin to look over towards Sodom, he knowed something was going to take place. Two of them got up. [Blank spot on tape—Ed.] …these two to bring a message, a modern Billy Graham, if he ever was, to preach repentance. 161 And repentance always…No, no miracles, only the blinding of the people, and the preaching of the Gospel blinds the unbeliever, that’s exactly right. There he was down there, preaching, went to the church, to—to Lot, and with Lot, he tried to bring conviction to that… Why, the blinding of them, they still felt through the night to find them, to find these men. They were absolutely polluted, if they ever was.

63162 Now, watch this One that stayed back, now, that’s the Message. The nominal church today has had its message through the Billy Grahams, and the—and the great men of that denomination, they’ve had their message of “Come out of Babylon,” but they won’t listen to it, no more than they did back there in that day. 163 But now wait, there was an Angel stayed, One of them stayed behind. How many knows that’s true? One of them stayed behind with Abraham, the elected Church. Let’s see what He did, He never called for no repentance. Let’s see what He did, Jesus said the same thing would repeat. And I want you to notice, after this Angel done what He did, and was taken out of—out of the sight of Abraham, Abraham… [Blank spot on tape—Ed.] 164 …flesh, foreshowing what He would do in the flesh of His Church in the last days. “As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man.” God, living in the flesh of His Church. Doing what? What He did there, what He did when He come on earth. Watch Him, what did He do?

64165 He set there, looked at Abraham, the Bible said His back was to the tent, He said, “Abraham, where is your wife, Sarah?” Did you ever read it? “Where is your wife, Sarah?” 166 How did He know he was married? And how did He know he had a wife? And how did He know his name was Sarah? What kind of telepathy was that? 167 And Abraham said, “She’s in the tent behind You.” 168 And then the Angel said, “I’m going to visit you according to the time of life.” As we know, the twenty-eight day. Said, “I…” Sarah was an old woman. Said, “I’m going to visit you according to the time of life, and you’re going to have this child, by Sarah, that I said that you was going to have. I’m going to fulfill My promise.” And Sarah, in the tent behind Him, laughed to herself. That right? And the Angel looking this way, said, “Why did Sarah laugh?”

65169 “As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man.” He will come to the Gentile Church. The Gentiles never had it in any age until this age, here it is today. What is it? Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever, Jesus Christ, the same—same Lord Jesus, with the same signs, the same Holy Spirit living in the Church today, performing the very things that He did. 170 Jesus said in Saint John, 14th chapter, I believe about the 8th verse, He said, “He that believeth on Me, the works that I do, shall he do also.”

66171 Now, we see what He was yesterday, that’s what He was. They believed Him, because that He was the Messiah, proven to be the Messiah. Now, if He’s the same yesterday, today, and forever, He will have to do the same to the closing of this age of the Gentiles, just like He did to the closing of the age of the Jews and Samaritans. If He doesn’t, then He did something for them that He did not do for us, then He would not be just. 172 He’s infinite, He cannot change His plans. And if God lets us come into His Presence, this Gentile age, without doing and showing to us the same that He did to them back there, then He done something for them He did not do for us, but He has not let us do it. We’re here at the hour today when Jesus Christ lives. He has raised from the dead, He is not dead, He is living to perform, and to do the same as He did yesterday in His Church that will yield Itself and let the Holy Spirit move.

67173 You Pentecostal people, many of you, upon the baptism of the Holy Spirit, with speaking in tongues has give messages, and all those things, that’s exactly what the Bible teaches, that’s exactly right, you gave prophecies, and so forth. Then why can’t we, when we see this has begin to move down now, we’re settled on that…? 174 God moves His Church a little higher, a little higher, just like a pyramid, when it comes to a top, finally to a peak. Did you notice, the pyramid was rejected? The stone that went on the top of the main pyramid, if you was ever in Egypt, never did cap it. Why? The headstone was rejected. And watch that stone, each stone, as it comes up to the end, had to be cut just in order for the headstone. 175 Now, the Church coming up from Luther, Wesley, Pentecost, It’ll have to get in the shape till the Headstone, Christ Jesus, and the Church will set together, hallelujah, to cap the whole Church together for the resurrection of every mortal that died believing on His Name. Amen. I believe that we are here today, that Jesus Christ still remains the same yesterday, today, and forever. Do you believe it?

68176 If He would come in this midst tonight, and would perform and do just as He did then… 177 You say, “Would He heal me?” He couldn’t heal you, He’s already done it. “Would He save me?” 178 He couldn’t save you, He’s already done it, you have to accept it. He could show Hisself present here, He could prove to you by some saint back there to speak with a tongue, and this one to interpret, or some other way like that, or a—a prophet raise up and say something was perfectly truth, or do something that the Scripture said that He would do in the last days, then you could believe He was living with us, He was in us. 179 Paul said, “If you all speak with tongues, and there be no interpreter, the unlearned set in the midst,” said, “then won’t they go away and say you’re all mad or crazy?” See? “But if one is a prophet and prophesies and reveals the secrets of the heart, then they will all fall down, say, ‘God is with you.’” 180 Is that right? Well, we all know that’s the truth. Then if they had that in the early Church, we got to have it in this Church at the closing of this Gentile age; we’re at the end time. And I believe that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

69181 And you say, “Sir, I would like to see Jesus.” 182 I trust tonight with all my heart that He will make Hisself known among you. Now, how will He do it? The same way He did then, just the same way He did then. He promised it, He said it would be in the last days, we believe this is the last days, the last-day signs are appearing everywhere, the church cooling off, all of the things going the way they’re going, there would come a falling away, all the things that was spoke of, but in that day, He promised these things would take place, and here it is. 183 Did you notice when Jesus was started out in His ministry, how that He begin to, not say so much about His day then, He was telling more about His Second Coming than He was His first advent to the earth? Speaking what this would be in this day.

70184 Now, if He will come…Now, no matter what kind of a gift He would have standing here, or gift out there, they have to get together, you have to believe it or nothing will happen. The little woman touched His garment and she was healed, because she believed it, she had faith. The woman pushed through the crowd, perhaps she, say they had prayer cards then, they didn’t, but say they did, she couldn’t get to Him, she had no way of getting to Him, she didn’t have no means of getting to Him. 185 There will people out there in the audience tonight, will have no way of getting up here to be prayed for, we have to take them just as their numbers come. Well, that’s…We’ll get everyone that we can, and before… Every man that’s got a prayer card, woman, just hold to it, we’ll get to you sooner or later, we don’t know how it’ll be, but the just the way the Spirit will lead it.

71186 Now, this little woman, what did she do? She said, “If I will just touch His garment, I believe that Man told the truth, I’ll, I—I know I’ll be healed.” 187 Why, certainly, that’s what He promised. All right. Her faith…And then when she touched Him, oh, everybody was touching Him, my, with their arms around Him, and, “Hosanna!” and some hollering, criticizing, and everything. Course that’s the mixed-up crowd again, the multitude, Christ’s gatherings always produces the believer, unbeliever, and make-believer. 188 Now, when they come, then she touched His garment, and she went off in the audience, like you are tonight, and set down, maybe. Maybe she stood up, I don’t know. However, Jesus turned around, said, “Who touched Me?” Insomuch, till the apostle Peter rebuked Him, and said, “Why do You say such a thing as that? Everybody is touching You.” 189 He said, “But I perceive that virtue has gone from Me.” Virtue is strength, He got weak. She touched Him, He got weak, He looked out over the audience, until He found her, and told her about her blood issue. And from that very minute, she believed that she was healed, and she was. Is that right?

72190 Now, if Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever, do you believe that He is…? The New Testament, the Book of Hebrews says that He is, right now, setting at the right hand of God, power on High, and He is a High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities. Is that right, brethren? Now, if you’re setting out there and not on the prayer line here, if you believe with all your heart, you’re sick, say, “Lord God, I’m sick, too, I need help. Will You help me, O Lord?” See what He does. Certainly.

73191 If you’ll believe Him with all your heart, He’s a High Priest… It wouldn’t do no good to touch me, I’m just a sinner saved by grace. Wouldn’t do no good to touch any of the rest of us, we’re just sinners saved by grace. But if you’ll let your spirit move beyond us, and go up yonder, and say, “Lord God, I believe with all your heart that we’re living in the last days. This is the signs that You said, the man read it out of the Bible, or, said it out of the Bible. I’ll read it, I’ve read it many times, I know it, and I believe that it’s the truth.” 192 When…If He will come among us tonight, I don’t say that He will, but if He will, then you say, “Let me, O Lord God.” Then you touch His garment, and see if He don’t turn right around, do the same thing that He did yesterday. He’s the same yesterday, today, and forever. Let us pray.

74193 Our Heavenly Father, we are so happy to be Your servants. We are so glad to know that You live, and—and in this great day that when we’re know by the turn of history, we know by the looks of things, we know by the way that the UN and the different nations are shaping up we’re not here very much longer, we know that soon somebody is going to do something wrong, they’re going to fire one of those missiles. 194 And all around the world, great islands filled with atomic missiles, hydrogen bombs that will go a hundred and seventy-five miles square, hundred and fifty feet deep in the earth, and thousands of them are aimed right at every city across this nation, and around the world, from one side to the other. And the first time one of them hits a—a screen, the other one will let loose, the world couldn’t stand it, Lord, and before all this happens, You said we would go. How close is the Coming then? If we could look for that at any hour, how much the Coming of the Lord?

75195 Now, Father God, we know that just a small group of us here tonight, but we’re here with…trusting, Lord, that we’re in one accord, we’re believing. And this that we’ve held on to…Here is ministers setting on the platform, long before I started preaching, was ministers preaching the Gospel. There’s many out there the same way, that’s spoke of and prophesied of this day. We’re nearing the end, Father. Time is so short, we try to press so much in at one night. We think maybe there might be a sinner here that wouldn’t be here again tomorrow night, catch his soul tonight, Lord. Grant it. 196 Now, let the Holy Spirit come tonight. Anoint us, anoint the congregation, anoint the ministers on the platform, anoint me, Your unworthy servant. And may You use us, Lord, to fulfill Your Word that You promised that You would do, You said, “The works that I do, shall you also. A little while, and the world will see Me no more.” That’s true, Lord.

76197 This meeting advertised up, down the streets, everywhere. The world is still at its going, water is seeping its level, but there’s some who has pressed through the heat, setting in this little building tonight, they’re hungering, they’re thirsting, they love You, they want to know more about You. And I’ve stood here by Your Word, telling them that You are the same yesterday, today, and forever to encourage them. If they are hungering for You, You’re here to save them; if they’re hungering for healing, You’re here to heal them. Your very Presence is here, and It’ll heal them if they’ll believe; It’ll save them if they’ll believe. 198 So, Father God, come tonight and do something like You did back there. And that was a proof to those coming from Emmaus as we mentioned a while ago, they, it was proof to them that You was the resurrected Jesus, not another one, the same One, for You did the same things You did before Your crucifixion, they knew You were alive. 199 Father God, there may be men and women in here tonight that’s never experienced this yet, may they experience it tonight, it’s for Your honor, Lord, and Your glory. I commit myself to you, with the rest of the church, that You’ll use us to Your honor. In Jesus’ Name, I pray. Amen.

77200 If there was a way for me to make the sick well, I would certainly do it, I would be glad to do it. I have no power to heal, I don’t believe anyone else does. Men…I don’t believe a doctor does, I believe healing lays in God. A doctor has a right, he can move something, or pull a tooth, sew up something, take appendix out, or abscess, or whatever it might be, but he doesn’t build tissue, neither does medicine, nature, God does that, that’s right, all from God. You break your arm, go at the doctor and let him set it, but he doesn’t heal it, he just sets it, God does the healing, He heals it, He furnishes the calcium and whatever goes into the bones to—to heal it. 201 Now, how many in here is sick tonight? Raise up your hand, that’s sick and needs healing in your body, half of the audience. Now, my son give out some prayer cards, we haven’t got room to call them all at one time. But let’s just call a few, then later on, we’ll get the rest of them, maybe tonight, maybe not, tomorrow night, or next night, or whenever the Lord moves.

78202 But now remember, I say this: I do not say that He will. Now, I…That’s up to Him, I have no way of assuring it will, But He has never failed me yet, before as many as five hundred thousand at one time, and He—He won’t tonight, and I’m sure He won’t. 203 Now, let’s let the prayer cards…Now, the prayer card has got a number on it, and they number one, two, three, four, five, like that. We can’t stand them all up. Or I guess he started from one, I guess one. Where’s he at? Anybody got prayer card, number one? Raise up your hand, let’s see. Boy is not here. Is there a prayer card, number one? Somebody has a prayer card, one? Well, maybe I got…Maybe it didn’t start…Or this—this colored lady here? All right. Come right here, lady, right around this side. 204 Prayer card number two, would you raise up your hand, ever who has it? The gentleman? Right over here, sir. Prayer card number three. All right, lady, come right here. Number four, four. All right. Number five. Who has prayer card number five? Would you raise your hand, ever who has it? Has this lady here got…? One, two, three, four, five, six. 205 Reason I call them one at a time, ’cause somebody might be deaf and can’t hear. Number six. Come over here. If you can’t get up, we’ve got…These are ushers standing here? Oh, all right. They—they’ll pack you if you can’t come. All right. Number six, seven. Would you just raise your hand, quickly if you can? Look at your prayer card. Number seven. All right. Eight, eight. Prayer card eight. Maybe they…

79206 Now, if you get a prayer card, you keep it yourself, don’t take it off and give it to a neighbor, let the neighbor come and hear the instructions, too, if they’re going to be prayed for. The prayer cards are unexchangeable, be turned out of line. See? Now, you must hear the message yourself, come for yourself. And now, if you miss your turn, then remember we called your number. Eight not here? Don’t get one and then leave the building. Stay with it, stay here. 207 All right, eight, nine, nine. Someone with prayer card…? All right, bring the lady. Ten, eleven. That’s right. Eleven, twelve, twelve. No twelve, eleven or twelve? Thirteen, thirteen. No thirteen? Fourteen, fourteen, thirteen. Does that lady have thirteen? All right. What say? All right. Thirteen, fourteen, fourteen, fifteen. 208 The reason we call them, it’s not an arena, it’s a—it’s a church, you know, where…You—you’ve been in meetings and seen when they, oh, they just ramble over one another, and oh, it’s very irreverent. So we don’t want…We want reverence and respects to the Gospel.

80209 Fifteen, did that person come? Fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen. Well, that’s—that’s all? Well, that’s… How many did you give out? Fifty and something. Well, okay. Maybe some, you get a little bashful and backwards. Let them stand there. All right. 210 Let’s, everyone reverent now, now no one moving around, be reverent. How many ever seen the picture that the science has taken of the Angel of the Lord that, right over the building? Leo, do you have them, son? Leo? They’ve took it. It’s, Washington, DC, it’s copyrighted, the only supernatural Being that was ever photographed, same Pillar of Fire that led the children of Israel. There was one taken right down here in California just recently, when He was there at the platform. Now, He…That’s…He’s just…He…

81211 Jesus said, “I came from God, and I go to God.” How many knows He said that? He came from God. What was—what was Jesus when He came to the children of Israel? He was the Angel of the covenant, we know that. Well, He was a—a Pillar of Fire that was in the burning bush. Is that right? How many believes that? Say, “Amen.” All right. Then when He died, raised again, and went back to the Father, then when He met Paul on the road to Damascus, what was He? Same Pillar of Fire, a Light that put out Paul’s eyes. Uh-huh. See? “I come from God, I go to God.” 212 And that same Jesus has appeared even to the mechanical eye. When George J. Lacy, the head of the FBI, of fingerprint and document, examined the picture, he said, “The Light struck the lens.” Put the testimony, wrote it down, signed his name to it.

82213 But then he—he said, “Mr. Branham, I once criticized you myself.” Said, “I said it was psychology.” He said, “But the…I said you were reading those people’s minds.” He said, “But the mechanical eye of this camera don’t take psychology, the Light struck the lens.” 214 There it is, big photographed picture; they got It four or five more times. Took it in Germany here not long ago, three different pictures, It coming down, when It was anointing, going away. Germany said the same thing under their examination. Germany, Switzerland. See there? It’s not… 215 Friends, we’re not playing church, we are living in the Presence of the Lord Jesus. Now, I want you to remember that. Now, the meeting is your meeting.

83216 Now, how many people out there is strangers to me, I don’t know? Raise up your hands. You know that I don’t know you, or know nothing about you, raise up your hands. You know you’re sick…yeah. Well, I guess the whole audience. Far as I can see, there’s no one here that I know. My own son, Brother Borders, I met the brother minister there, I think I’ve seen him before, but I—I just can’t place him exactly, I’ve been trying to in my mind, outside of that, I don’t know anyone. 217 How many in the prayer line knows that I know nothing about you, nor nothing about…? Raise up your hands, you in the prayer line, I am a stranger to you. Here is my hands, I don’t know any of them, and here lays my Bible. 218 Now, those people, maybe they’re sick, maybe they’re not, I don’t know, they may have financial troubles, they may…I don’t know what it is, domestic affairs, I don’t know, but the Lord Jesus knows. Is that right?

84219 How many of you is out there that doesn’t have a prayer card, and you’re sick, and you want Jesus to heal you? Raise up your hand. Everywhere, too? Well, I guess it’s just everywhere. See? All right. You just have faith, believe with all your heart now, just have faith. And when…If the Lord comes and begins to bless the people, then you say, “Lord, let me, too.” And watch and see if He don’t do the same for you that He does on the platform. This is just getting some people up here, so that you would see, it’s just nothing but right here on the platform where everybody is looking. 220 Now, this lady here…Now, if He will do the same tonight that He did in the days gone by, how many will believe it’s Him here present? Raise up your hand. Oh, thank you. That’s…If you keep that up, you’ll see a great meeting here in the—in the next ten days, you keep that faith moving. That’s what…Just as soon as you did that, something just lifted out of me, see, the anointing dropped on me right then. Um-hum. Now He’s here, right now, the Presence of the Lord.

85221 I’m so glad to know, tonight, that—that you—you being a colored sister standing here. Now, this gives me to back to what I spoke of. In Saint John the 4th chapter there was a Man and a woman met, which was a Jew and a Samaritan, two races of people, the first time they had ever met in their life. Is that right? You believe it? Raise up your hands, if you…That’s right, first time they had ever met. 222 And Jesus said to the woman, asked her for a drink. He went to talking to her. What do you think He did that for? It was to contact her spirit. See? Contact. The Father…He said He had need to go by, the Father sent Him by, like He did, if you would turn over to the next chapter, where we’ll get to maybe tomorrow night, the man at the well, uh, man under the five porches, beautiful illustration there, how He come to that one man, pass by lame, halt, blind, withered, went to that one man, for He knew that he had been this way. See, the Father had sent Him.

86223 Then He turned around and He said, Saint John 5:19, they asked Him why didn’t He heal all of them, or so forth, condemned this man for packing his bed on the Sabbath, He said, “Verily, verily I say unto you, the Son can do nothing in Himself, but what He sees the Father doing.” Is that right? Then Jesus never performed one thing until He…God showed Him a vision on what to do. Is that the Scripture? 224 Listen, let me quote it, Saint John 5:19, “Verily, verily,” that’s absolutely , absolutely , “I say unto you, the Son can do nothing in Himself, but what He sees,” not hears, “what He sees the Father doing, that doeth the Son likewise. The Father worketh, and I worketh hitherto.” 225 That, in other words, He said, “I do nothing till I see the Father show Me a vision, first, on what to do, then I do it.”

87226 The other night when I met Dr. Lamsa, of the Lamsa Bible, he said, “What’s the matter with these American people?” 227 Said, “I don’t know. Seventy percent of the Bible is vision, yet they can’t believe.” See? 228 This is just like it was in Samaria, two races of people, I’m Irish, she’s African. We meet here for the first time in a little panoramic, two met. In them days there was a segregation, Jesus let her know right quick there was no difference between a man’s color before God. We all come from one family: Adam and Eve. The country we lived into and changed our colors, yellow, brown, black, white, has nothing to do with God, we can give each other a blood transfusion. One blood, God made all men. You believe that? Yes, sir. These… 229 Where one lived in a hot country and the other a cold country, and—and like that, tempered, and so forth, it changed their colors, that has nothing to do with the blood, or the soul, or anything else. God let her know that God seeks them that will worship Him in spirit and in truth.

88230 Now, this woman, we’re strangers to one another. Now, I never saw her in my life, perhaps she never saw me in her life, and here we are meeting for the first time, like the woman at the well and our Lord. Now, if our Lord remains the same, and if He will… 231 Now, if the woman’s sick, and I could say, “All right, lady, you’re sick, come up here.” Come up, lay hands on her, say, “I cast out the evil spirit,” or stomp my feet, or whatever it was, say, “Satan, get out of her. Go home, lady, get well.” That could be all right, that’s Scriptural. Certainly. “In My Name they shall cast out devils.” 232 Many brothers has ministries like that, far more success than mine, Oral Roberts, for instance, you see. My ministry don’t take in the United States, takes overseas, then, really goes then. I seen thirty thousand raw heathens come to Christ in one altar call, something happened on the platform, just telling one, seeing a miracle performed, thirty thousand blanket natives busted their idols on the ground, come to Christ, Durban, South Africa.

89233 Now, if we don’t know each other, the Lord Jesus knows her and He knows me. Now, if He will tell her something that she has done, or something that she’s intending to do, or something that she knows that I know nothing about, then surely, if He can tell her what she has been, He can certainly know what she will be. Is that right? Now, how much greater would that be if Something would tell her, like something happened in the Bible, and would tell her that? Would, if He would do that, would you believe He was the same Lord? You would. 234 You know it couldn’t be your brother here, I just have to yield my spirit. I’m just like this microphone, a mute until He would speak, ’cause what man would know that? None. It takes God to do it. Now, if God will let me know just by talking to you…Yes, sir, I am trying to contact your spirit. That’s exactly right. Now it just swept from the audience, and that’s right.

90235 Now, if He will tell me something about you, something you’re here for, like the woman at the well, or like the woman with the blood issue, or something, then you’ll—you’ll—you’ll believe with all your heart. How many out there will believe, also, when here, me and this woman here, we don’t know one another, never seen her my life till right now? 236 Now, may He do it, I trust that He will. And if He does, then it’ll give you faith, make you feel assured that He loves you, and He knows about you. And if He knows about you, He knows about everyone out there, so then that just shows He’s Present. So that would just make everybody accept Him, and be well. Is that right? Or accept Him as their Saviour, and be saved. 237 Now, if anybody can still hear me: I come to take every spirit in here in the Name of Jesus Christ. And this woman, who knows now that something is going on, the lady is suffering with a extreme nervous condition. That’s right. It’s just real, extremely nervous. Is that right? If that’s right, raise up your hand. Now do you believe?

91238 Now, what it was, I don’t know what I said, but It told her something. I seen her doing something, seeming like she was trying to wring her hands, or something, or upset about something, something another . You say, “Brother Branham, you guessed that.” 239 I didn’t guess that. How could it be perfect every time out of tens of thousands, times thousands? If you think I guessed it, let me talk to the woman a little longer. It’s your meeting. 240 See, she seemed like a nice person to me. I…You just…I don’t want you…Just let your mind be dormant. Just—just know that…You believe that you’re in the Presence of the Lord Jesus? Now, you do feel a real sweet feeling. Isn’t that right? If that’s right, just raise up your hand to the people. See? I’m looking right straight at the Light hanging right over the woman.

92241 Yes, she’s all upset, she—she’s nervous, got a nervous condition. And you’re—you’re concerned or praying about somebody else. There is a little girl, and the little girl has got a tonsil trouble. That’s her setting right out there. That’s right, isn’t it? All right, sis, it’s over. Besides that, you’re a minister, you’re a woman preacher. You believe God knows who you are? Mrs. Peters, your request is answered. Your nervousness is gone, go home and be well, in the Name of the Lord. 242 Do you believe with all your heart? Just have faith, just believe. Now, that’s what He was yesterday, that’s what He is today, He will always be. Now, as He manifested Himself before Abraham in human flesh, He…God was manifested in Christ. You believe that? “It’s not Me that doeth the works, it’s My Father that dwelleth in Me.”

93243 Now, wasn’t that simple, just believing? I never even asked prayer for her, but she was healed just the same. What did it? Her faith healed her, whatever it was. All right. 244 How do you do? We are strangers to one another, Lord Jesus knows us both. Now, we are men, different ages, first time we met. If God will reveal to me what your trouble is, or something, will you believe me to be His prophet, or His servant, rather? You’ll believe it? 245 You’re very sick with a stomach trouble, very, very bad. You’re not from this city, you’re from another city, it’s out in a wheat, level country, you’re from Oklahoma, Tulsa, Oklahoma. That’s right. You’re Italian by—by your nationality. And you were at one of my meetings before, it was at the Tulsa meeting, tried to get into the line and couldn’t get a prayer card, that’s THUS SAITH THE LORD. You believe with all your heart now? Go, eat your supper, Jesus Christ makes you well. Go home and rejoice. God bless you, sir. God be with you.

94246 You believe on the Lord? Now, whoever you are, just have faith, don’t doubt. If thou canst believe, all things are possible. You believe that? All things are possible to them that believe. How many out there in the audience is—is believing? Say, “I believe with all my heart.” No reason why you shouldn’t be healed, just have faith. 247 How do you do? You believe me to be His servant? We’re strangers to each other. But you believe that God knows all about you? Do you believe that He’s able to make you well and to heal you? What if I told you, you were healed? Would you believe me? You sure would. 248 You want your husband healed, too, don’t you? You believe that He will heal him? You want to know what his trouble…? You want me tell you what his trouble is? Bladder trouble. You have female trouble, the doctor says a dropping uterus, a fallen uterus. That’s right. You’re a minister, too, of the Gospel, woman preacher. Go receive your healing, Jesus Christ makes you well.

95Have faith, don’t doubt. 249 You believe with all your heart, lady? If God will reveal to me something about you that I do not know…We’re strangers, are we? If He will reveal to me something that you know that I do not know, then you’ll know It’s not your brother, It’s your Lord. Is that right? Somebody in the meeting, somewhere… 250 You’re suffering from a condition that you should be operated on for, they say you should, it’s a growth. You believe I can tell you where the growth is by the power of God? On your side, under your right arm. That’s right. Go believe with all your heart, be healed, in the Name of the Lord Jesus. Just have faith, don’t doubt.

96251 How do you do? We’re strangers to each other, I suppose. You saw me once. In a meeting? Just in a meeting. But I mean, I don’t know you, and you don’t know…Just setting out in the meeting, you saw me once. Well, if the Lord will reveal to me the secret of your heart, tell me of something that you have done, or planning on doing, or something is wrong with you, or—or something another , you, then you’ll know It has to be God, It has to be a Spirit, It couldn’t be me. 252 Stomach trouble, throat trouble, and then you got a burden on your heart. It’s a boy. Shall I say it? He’s in a juvenile home, he’s a got a heart trouble. Believe on the Lord Jesus, and God will deliver him from this. Have faith. Do you believe with all your heart?

97253 Now, that you might know it’s not a telepathy: This lady here, come here, lady, I don’t know the lady. Just put your hand on mine. If the Lord Jesus will show me this way what’s wrong with you, will you believe me to be God’s servant? You do? All right, then your heart trouble leaves you. Have faith in God, believe with all your heart. 254 Now, when I said that to her, you had a real funny feeling when I said that to her, because you had heart trouble, too. Go believing with all your heart, and be made well. You believe with all your hearts? All right. 255 Now, this lady must have healing or die. Are you aware of what’s wrong with you? You’re shadowed for death, a cancer. But do you believe that God can move that cancer? Come here. 256 Satan, I charge thee by the Blood of Jesus Christ, His vicarious suffering at Calvary, His triumph over you, and all your kind, in the Name of Jesus Christ, come out of the woman and leave her! Amen. Go, believing with all your heart.

98Nervous, heart trouble, go believe, be made well, in the Name of the Lord Jesus. 257 Come, lady. Speak English? If the Lord will reveal to me what your trouble is, you believe that God will make you well then? You do? All right. It’s a lady’s trouble, female trouble. Go believe, and the Lord Jesus will stop all that …?… and stuff. 258 “If thou canst believe!” 259 You believe God will heal you of that heart trouble, make you well? Believe it? Will you give up something for Him? You want to give them up, anyhow: cigarettes. Throw them away, don’t smoke no more. 260 Remember, don’t come here with sin, He knows it, you see.

99261 All right, come believing with all your heart. All right, come. Bring him on, sister. That’s all right. If I lay hands on you, believe you’ll get well? Lord Jesus, grant it, I pray, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. Believe it now with all your heart, and see if you don’t get well. Now believe it. Nervousness is nothing for God. You believe He will make you well? Go, believing then, and the Lord Jesus heal you and make… 262 That lady setting there by that one shouting, got something wrong with her arm, do you believe that God will make you well setting there, lady? Now, Who did you touch? You touched the High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of your infirmities, He healed you. Go home, and believe with all your heart. 263 Tell me what she touched. She never touched me, she’s too far away from me. You believe with all your hearts now?

100264 The lady setting back there, weeping on the end, with that bladder trouble, do you believe that God will make you well, lady? All right. Handkerchief up to your mouth, crying, like this , all right? Do you believe it with all your heart?
