Led by the Spirit

1 Thank you, Brother Lindsay. Good evening, audience. Sorry of the difficult of the speaking. Can you hear me? All right, that's fine. God will surely take care of it for us. We try to do what is right. Tomorrow af--afternoon at 2 o'clock Brother Lindsay told me it, to be in for services tomorrow afternoon at two. That will not interfere with any one's service then. Every one will... your church service... be able to be out and have a service. So remember that. And then some... Again tomorrow night is regular preaching service, or regular healing service, rather. Tomorrow afternoon's preaching service. And try to come out if you possibly can. We sure be glad to have you.

2 How many here's Christians, let's see your hands. Oh, isn't that wonderful. About ninety-nine percent of the people are Christians. I'm glad of that, to know that the biggest part of the audience is already saved and found Jesus dear to their heart.

3 Now, I want to read just a little bit of the Word first. My word will fail, but God's Word will never fail. Over in the book of Matthew, the 9th chapter, beginning with the 27th verse, you who mark them... And if the Lord willing, tomorrow afternoon I wanted to speak on the subject... I never know, but if He's willing, "Come And See A Man Who Told Me All Things." All right. In the 27th verse of the 9th chapter of the Gospel according to Matthew, we read this:
And when Jesus had departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us.
And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus said unto them, Believe ye that I'm able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.
Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.
And their eyes were opened; and Jesus strictly charged them, saying, See that no man knoweth it.
But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.
And they went out, and behold, they brought unto him a dumb man possessed with a devil.
And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake... (You notice what it was that had the dumb man bound? A devil. I'm quite sure that, modern science wouldn't agree with that, but as Christians we believe what the Bible says.)... And the dumb... (Let's see just a moment.) And... (Pardon me, the 33rd verse again;) And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitude marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.
But the Pharisees said, He cast out devils through the prince of the devils.
And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease... every sickness and every disease among the people.
Hebrews says that He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. He never changes; He's God.

4 And now, one of the most wonderful things of God and the Christian, the connection of the fellowship between God and Christians, is that they that are sons of God are led by the Spirit of God.
(Can you hear me all right now in the back? Is it all right? If you can, raise your hands, if you can hear back there all right. That's fine. And I'm trying to stand just as close as possible to this microphone. It may, give a roar, I do not know.)
But the greatest thing I've found in Christian life is letting the Holy Spirit lead you and guide you. And His work is marvelous. How many in here's ever been led by the Spirit, let's see your hands. Oh, my, that's wonderful. Led by the Spirit of God...
There's no one would lead you to the altar but the Spirit of God. There's no one would bring you here tonight 'less it was the Spirit of God. Is that right? He moves in mysterious ways, His wonders to perform.

5 Many times in the leading... [Gap in the audio.] Since I was a little boy...
Sunday a week, if we get to stay that long, I wish to tell my life story, Sunday a week, the afternoon service, to let you know just what tears and blood has been along the road. Someone might think it's all roses, but that isn't so, friend.
Now, many times, the only--the only time that I can ever be able to say anything to people about their diseases and so forth, is when being definitely led by the Spirit. I have to let Him do it. If I would say something within myself, it would certainly be a mistake. Many times it confuses me when there's so many. The best way when I have the patient to myself, individually talking to them, to contact them personally... But when it's... Sometimes when it's in a mixed audience like this, it's kind of hard to--to feel just what it is, and to know what it is. But you have to be very sensitive to spirits.

6 Now, we realize, and everyone knows there is spirits. Then if there's spirits, there's bound to be a Master of that spirit, because It changes the nature of sinners into Christians. And there's bound to be a Master or Head there somewhere, and that's God. And He sent His Son on earth, made in likeness of sinful flesh, and He died that we might be redeemed and brought back to God to be sons and daughters of God, to walk with Him again. That missing link from the garden of Eden, what Adam lost, Christ restored again.

7 Many times... Wished we had time to bank up there for a little while to speak, but just have about eight minutes, or ten. I would just like to give you a few experiences just to open my heart to you, talk to you. There's many times, Christian friends...
I guess it won't be much longer we'll probably be able to have a few more healing services. Now, I'm afraid that services are going to be closed, services like this. We got trouble ahead and you know it. So we want to put in everything that we can.
And probably when we leave here, I may never see many of you again the rest of my life. We may never meet no more. So let's be sincere with each other and sincere with God, and He will deal with us while we have this golden opportunity.
I'd like to set down, talk with each of you a day. But I couldn't do that. I couldn't spend my time in prayer seeking for God. But I will make an appointment with you. After we cross the river, I--I will spend all the time you want to. We'll just sit down and--by the evergreen tree, by the Sea of Life, and there talk with each other a thousand years. Won't it be wonderful? At that time, like to shake your hand, say, "You remember down in Minneapolis, those times when we tried to be together? Just look how it is now."
You want to know when I get home, why, I'm going to try to sing "Amazing Grace" when I cross the stream. I can't sing, but I've always wanted to sing that song. I believe God will let me do it, when I get over there. You happen to go over before I do and you hear somebody come out on the porch some morning, hear somebody singing "Amazing Grace," you say, "Brother Branham got home." That's me. I love the old song, for it's amazing grace that saved me, brought me thus far.

8 Many times things happen along in the leading of the Spirit that I don't even mention, don't say nothing about it. Visions are constantly seen. And I tried to explain to you how that's done. It's these individuals... these... th--the way they're moving, what they've done in their life. And it just comes just as real as I'm looking at you.
I don't believe any of you could doubt that after seeing it work in the meeting; which has never got to it's place yet, for the meeting has been--had lots of trouble speaking in a tent. We're new to each other, and it's new here.
But I'm very thankful that you're receiving it wonderfully. I can always feel each night... look like there's more of the momentum of faith arising all the time. I believe that before the meeting closes, if God permits, there's going to be a great sweep like you've never seen before. See how close that is to being right now.

9 Notice, sometimes He shows me things and I never speak it. Now, right now, since I've been standing here, I seen four or five things that's already gone on since I've been speaking here at this microphone. But I do not speak it till I see that something has happened.
My manager and them, many times... Now, I know this seems a little strange, and kind of hard maybe, for ministers and so forth, to just grasp it right now, unless they're very spiritual minded. But I can only be honest, and...

10 Here not long ago, when we met in England (just for a couple experiences), I was in my room one day and I went in told my manager; I said... I was setting in the room and I seen a vision of Satan coming to us... [Gap in the audio.]
Told them just about how long it would be, somewhere within about twenty-four hours, and there it happened.

11 One morning, I remember getting up, going down into the city about five o'clock. He woke me up; He said, "Get on your clothes." And I went down into the city, I walked about three miles. I believe that was in Ornskoldsvik, Orebro it was, Norway, or Sweden.
And I went under a tree by a river, and I prayed till nine o'clock, from five until nine. Then about nine o'clock, He wouldn't let me go. I knowed they'd be wondering where I was at when they got to the room and I wasn't there. So I was praying; I heard His voice say, "Rise up now." I rose up.

12 Now, it's just not just imagination friends. My--His voice is just as audible as mine is to you. Just--not--when He stands there, it's not just what you just imagine. I hear Him when He's walking, look at Him, talk to Him like you talk to me or I talk to you. It's a Being, not just a imagination. And I can hear Him when He sets His feet down, walks. When He talks, He just talks like I do. Oh, He's got a--a voice that's very humble in one way, and then very stern in another. His characters, no man could paint that. Just like if He'd speak, it'd turn the world upside down. Yet He's so meek when you look at Him, you'd almost cry.

13 And He said, "Get up."
And I got up, and started walking. And I walked about a mile and... I'm--was going by a store that I seen the day before. I didn't know what to do, only walk; He said, "Walk." I thought, I will just go around this corner. And I got to the corner; He said, "Turn to your right." I went to the right two squares, and then said, "Turn to your left."

14 And just in a split second, I seen my interpreter from the night before. And I knew something's going to happen, 'cause He just kept getting, closer and closer. I knew what was going to happen; it's going to be right away. He come up to me and shook my hand. And there he said, "Brother Branham, it's something strange."
I said, "Just a moment," and I begin to tell him.
And he looked at me. And when he did, I seen us in a vision standing there when he was translating the night before. I said, "You just come from the hospital, haven't you?"
He said, "Yes, sir."
I said, "You had one of your kidneys removed."
He said, "That's right."
I just met him the day before. Only thing from the platform that night. I said, "About three or four years ago you were supposed to do something, and you did not do it. Isn't that true?"
He said, "That's right."
I said, "Then you had an operation. And since your operation it's went over into the other kidney. That right?"
He said, "That's right."
I said, "Last night when I was praying in a congregational prayer, didn't you take your hand and take hold of my coat like that, real easy?"
He just started crying. His tear--hands up in the air, said, "That's right, Brother Branham. And I asked God last night, if that was so that He would confirm it. And about a half-hour ago He told me get up and go down on the street."
And in just one second's time and I would've missed him. There it was confirmed of his healing. How God works in mysterious ways.

15 I went up and met Brother Moore, Brother Lindsay, and them. We went downtown. He's going to walk me around just a little, for the Spirit was still anointing. I just keep walking lots of times that way, 'cause I can't be still then. Went downtown. We was standing, looking in the window, and I said, "Brother Moore."
Said, "Yeah."
I said, "Now, on the road back, there'll be a man with a dark suit on and a light hat, step out of a building ask me to go pray for his wife, only I can't do it."
He said, "When will that happen?"
I said, "On a--sometime this morning," I said, "because when the vision came it's the same morning."
And we'd been gone about a half-hour after that, we turned around a corner, stepping out of a store came a man with a black suit on a--a gray hat. Took his hat on, said, "Brother Branham, I'm so glad to meet you." Said, "I've got my wife upstairs here."
Jack... Brother Moore said, "What about that?"
We went on in.

16 Brother Baxter, the next manager. That afternoon we were walking, went downtown, standing there on the street. I said, "I see two women dressed in dark that's coming out of a store, will stop us pretty shortly, Brother Baxter."
And we'd gone just about two squares, and I was looking in a man's store at some ties. And just then coming out of this same store, came two ladies dressed in black and run up to us and begin to holding their hands. They couldn't talk English, but wanted a--a discernment of spirit of what was wrong with them on their hand.
Brother Baxter said...
I--well now, those things happen all the time. But I--I don't mention them, friends, unless it's something that will profit or benefit--something like that.

17 Now, many times that Christians praying... There was a lady set here last night, had a little baby. Now, many of you here probably was here last night when the lady I was hunting for with the little baby, you remember that? Now, she'd been in prayer about that, and in the room I saw her. I couldn't make out just what kind of a dress that was, but I seen she had her hair braided, and blond-headed and had a little baby. And the Lord had showed that the baby was to be healed. And the baby was healed before he left the building last evening. Now, it's wonderful.

18 Recently in Fort Wayne, we were having a meeting. How many's ever been... Why, was anybody here was at the Fort Wayne meetings? Somebody perhaps... Yes, here's two or three hands is here, at the Fort Wayne meetings. Marvelous crowds gathered. B. E. Rediger, how many ever heard of B. E. Rediger, years ago? Paul Rader, wrote this song, "Only Believe" in his meeting there. Well, Mr. Rediger had some daughters... He's gone on to glory, quite awhile ago, one the nation's most outstanding men on Divine healing.

19 I just returned from Pensacola, Florida, where I had the largest altar call I ever had: two-thousand at one time gave their hearts to Christ, one altar call.
And I'd just come home and I'd entered in the little church that morning. There was packed, several hundred around the church. They's trying to get me out, and someone told me, said, "A daugh--a girl--a psychopathic case laying back in the coal shed of the church..." Said, "Mrs. Rediger."
I said, "Mrs. Rediger? What relation are they to B. E. Rediger?"
Said, "That's his daughter."

20 And B. E. Rediger, a warrior of God resting in glory, and his daughter a mental case, his other daughter died in the same condition. She'd been a mental case in the institution for about two years. There she was, her mother trying to hold her, a beautiful young lady, her hair down, setting back there and just hold her, her eyes staring.
I walked in to where she was; and she begin to move back, kind of mumbling her mouth like that, saying something about "penny" or something another, and moving back like that.
So Mrs. Rediger looked up. And I said, "Oh, my, is that Brother Rediger's daughter?"
Said, "It is."
I said, "Dear Lord Jesus, have mercy on the girl." And asked for that power of the enemy to leave the girl. In a moment she was to herself.
And today I got a letter, she's going to be married in August, how glorious, out of the mental institution. And how glorious it is to find His leading.

21 There in Fort Wayne they'd found out what hotel I was staying in, the Indiana Hotel. And the people had crowded in their lobby till we had to hire one of the bellboys to get us to a way to go out. And down through the alley over an ash pile to get something to eat--so many people in there, crowding in.
Then all of a sudden one day we was going down the street, my wife was with me, had the baby. I had my coat collar up. It was... Going down the street packing my little girl. We were going down to the place called, I believe the Toddle House, or Hobble House or something, where we were eating.
There's where Mr. Eaton, of Canada, had met there in a room that morning, been to the meetings to be healed of a stomach trouble. And God healed him down at the tabernacle few days later. He wouldn't come to where I was eating that morning; he just paid for my breakfast.

22 The next morning going down, walking down the street, Something said, "Turn to your left."
Mrs. Morgan, twenty-one year graduate nurse, my first case of cancer, I felt the vibrations. Weighed thirty-seven pounds, brought into the meeting just nothing but skin and bones. She weighs a hundred and fifty-five now in perfect health. And the doctors, the best there was in the nation, told her she had just a few days to live. It went all through her; they just opened her up and sewed her back. Cancer just stuffed through her. Malignant, nothing could be done, couldn't even put a knife on her, no one to--to operate. Now, she weighs a hundred and fifty-seven pounds in perfect health.

23 She was going along, kind of helping me sometimes with the sick along, like that, because she's a very brilliant woman. And we were going down, and It--Something said, "Turn to your left." I heard it just the same as you hear me. I turned to the left.
Margie said to my wife, said, "What's the matter?"
Said, "Now, just let him go."
I went on down. We went walking. Down to the left I stopped in front of a place called Miller's Cafeteria. I wondered why. Something said, "Go in here."
I went in the cafeteria, got some little breakfast and prunes and so forth, and set down. My wife said, "You're sure in a big place like this to get trapped." People gathered around.
And I started to eat. And as I asked the blessing, I heard somebody say, "Praise the Lord."
I looked over and a poor old mother was raising up, wiping her eyes.
Margie said, "You better go," said, "if you don't the whole group..."
I said, "Just a moment, it's the Holy Spirit leading."
She come over there and said, "Brother Branham," said, "I followed meeting after meeting trying to get my brother in the line. I couldn't do it." Said, "His heart's got so bad now it's pushed through the diaphragm." Said, "We was examined a few days ago before coming, doctor said he just has a little while to live. We sold our cow to get the money to come up here from Texas." Said, "I've been to several meetings; we sold all we got." Said, "I seen I couldn't get it, there's too many there. I've had a card several times, but the number's never been called." She said, "But I was praying last night all night and fasting," (she said), " and about daylight this morning I woke up, and I had a dream. And I dreamed that I should come down here to the cafeteria and wait at nine o'clock."
I looked at my watch, and it just exactly nine. Said, "Bring him here."
You know what happened, don't you? The Lord marvelously healed him. Leading of the Spirit. He works on both ends.

24 Then, going out the door, was just leaving. Went out the door about two minutes after. Didn't eat. And a young lady standing there fell down on the street and begin screaming just as I went out the door--dressed in black. She lived in Chicago Heights: malignant cancer. Said, "Brother Branham, I prayed all--been praying for weeks that I could get here." And said, "I just got a little while." She'd been to the clinic here and nothing could be done for her. Her husband was a great businessman there of some sort. And she said, "This morning early," said, "Something told me to come to Miller's Cafeteria and stand here at ten minutes after nine."
There it was. I met her in Little Rock here a few weeks ago, just shouting the praises of God, perfectly normal and well.

25 Went walking on down the street, the Holy Spirit said, "Stop here."
I told the wife, I said, "You all go on the--they'll get you in the hotel."
She said, "Well, I will cross the drug store over there to get some books--coloring books." Had to keep the baby in the room all the time.
And I stopped, and I went back up and looked at some fishing tackle, and I waited just a moment. I said, "Father, what is it You would have me do?"
And I waited a few moments. I heard that voice say, "Go down to the corner."
I went down to the corner, standing at the corner, said, "Cross the street." I went across the street and was standing there.
You people from Fort Wayne know how they direct the traffic there. And it... on a Saturday morning. And I stood there for quite awhile.
And after awhile I seen a lady cross the street, the whistle blowed many times. A lady crossing the street, holding a pocket book on her arm. And she was dressed in a checked suit and a little checked tam on. She walked.
The Holy Spirit said, "Go close to her."
I went and stood there. (The woman may be in this meeting tonight for all I know.) And I stood right there on the corner. And she passed right on by, and went by.
I thought, "That's strange; He never did tell me anything wrong."
She walked about the distance of that pole. She was looking down, looking sideways.
And she turned around and looked back; she said, "Oh, Brother Branham." She come back and she started crying. And she said, "I'm from Canada." She said, "I followed all through Canada." Said, "I come over here, was only allowed so much money. Last night," said, "I slept setting in a hotel lobby. And this morning I had one five-cents for a cup of coffee." Said, "I was going out here to hitch-hike home." Said, "I was just two squares below and the Holy Spirit said, 'Turn to your right.' Well, I went to the right. And He said, 'Turn to your left.' But I was being led by Him, said 'Turn around and see.'" Said, "Brother Branham, my hand's been crippled."
I said, "In the Name of the Lord Jesus, give me the hand." And here come the hand straight.
A big Irish cop blowing a whistle, said, "I know who you are, Brother Branham."
My, we had a prayer line held on the street in a few moments. It was just everywhere. What is it? Led of the Spirit of God, that's what it is, friend.

26 Recently on my road to Dallas (I will hurry quickly), on my road going to Dallas, the plane was grounded. And I thought, oh my. I stayed all night, and the next morning I was going down to put my mail in the box. They told us they'd come pick us up.
I was going down the street, trying to sing that little old Christian song the Pentecost folk sing, "Glad That I Can Say I'm One of Them." Did you ever hear it? It's a...
People almost everywhere,
Hearts all burning with flames,
As the fire that fell on...
The Holy Ghost,
That makes us all the same, (or something like that).
And I was trying to sing it going down the street, my letters in my hand, going walking along down the street. I started to cross the street, the Holy Spirit said, "Stop. You're right in front of a bank," (Memphis, Tennessee).
I thought, "Oh, my, what's this?"
I walked over in a corner; I said, "Father, what would You have me do?"
I stood still for a few moments, 'cause I wasn't thinking about it. I felt that real strange feeling move on me, said, "Turn and go right back."
And I went right back down passed the hotel again, just kept on going down the street, humming to myself, "Oh I'm so glad that I can say I'm one of them." Going on...
I went way on down to the other side of Memphis, on down to the colored district. I thought, "What am I doing down here?" Just led by the Spirit.
And I looked. Said, "Cross this way." And I crossed over the street and went down the other side. I was going over there. Turned to my right, went up the street this a way. All the little whitewashed places there, little colored places where the colored live.

27 And I passed by. And I seen a typical old aunt Jemima, with a shirt, man's shirt tied around her head, leaning over the gate. The sun was coming up, roses around the gate, the sun kissing away the fragrance away from the rose; and the air was full, the birds a singing: how glorious. And I had my hand, going along like that, singing, led of the Spirit.
I looked at her as I passed by. She was leaning over the gate. She said, "Good morning, parson." Down in the South, it's parson, you know, instead of...
I said, "Good morning, auntie." She wiped the tears from her eyes, begin to laughing.
I said, "How'd you know I was a parson? Do you know me?"
She said, "No, sir."
I said, "How'd you know I was parson?"
Said, "Parson, did you ever hear about that--a woman in the Bible, the Shunammite woman?"
And I said, "Yes."
Said, "The Lord give her a child?"
I said, "Yes."
Said, "I's was a woman that was barren too. And the Lord give me a son." And said, "I promised to raise him for the Lord." Said, "I've done my best." But said, "Parson, he took the road that's wrong." Said, "He's a fine young man and he backslid." And said, "He went out with the wrong company." And said, "He's laying in here now." Said, "The doctors had done give him all the shots they can. He's been unconscious now for two days. The doctor says that he is going to die; it's venereal disease." Said, "Done give him everything that could be given, but it was too late before they caught it, and he's going to die." And said, "Parson, I knowed him laying there dying a backslider," said, "I couldn't stand it." Said, "I prayed and prayed, and I said, 'Lord, You gave me the boy, but where is Elijah at?'" So said, "I prayed and I prayed." And said, "This morning, a little 'fore day," said, "the Lord told me to come out here and stand at this gate." And her back was wet with dew. Said, "I just stood here 'cause," said, "I believe in the leading of the Spirit."

28 Oh, my, there is where God and believer meets together on common grounds of faith.
She said, "He told me to stand here." And said, "The sun came up." Said, "I just kept waiting. When you come down the street," said, "I knowed you was the parson."
I said, "My name is Branham." She told me what her name was. I said, "Did you ever hear of my services?"
"No, sir, parson."
I told her about it, and the tears begin to run down her cheeks. Said, "I knowed the Lord wouldn't fail me."

29 We went into the room. There laid a fine big boy laying there, about a hundred and sixty or seventy pounds, a picture of health, the blankets gathered in his hands like this going, "Ummm, ummm."
And she walked over and patted him on the cheek. She said, "Mammy's baby." Might be, old as he was.
But you know, there's a mother's love. You're always mama's baby. You know, that mother's love. No matter what you do, it's never forgotten, mother's love.
So she patted him on the cheek, said, "Mama's baby."
And I took a hold of his feet, and his feet was cold, thought, "Oh, my, he's dying." I said, "Auntie, he's in awful bad shape."
Said, "Yes, sir, parson. The doctor said he'd never gain consciousness no more."
I held his feet, and I said, "Shall we pray?"
She said, "Yes, parson."
She knelt down on the floor and she begin praying. I tell you; that old saint prayed a prayer that you'd know she was talking to God too. And when she got through praying, she said, "Thank You, dear Lord."

30 I walked over to where he was at. Looked at him a little bit, and I laid my hands over on him. I said, "Dear God, I don't know why You led me down here. My plane's ready to leave now." But I said, "I don't know why You led me here, but I just come by the leading. And now, in the Name of Your Son Jesus, I lay hands upon this dying boy for his life, for his soul to be saved."
Said, "Mammy. Oh, mammy."
She said, "He's talking, parson." Hadn't talked for two days.
Said, "Mammy, it's getting light." Said, "It's getting light in here, mammy. I can see where my boat's a going now." A few minutes he was on the floor rejoicing, happy.
About a week later I got a letter from him that the doctors pronounced him negative. He's living tonight in Memphis, Tennessee, healthy and strong, because that his dear old mother followed the leading of the Holy Spirit. Those that are sons and daughters of God are led by the Spirit of God. Isn't that right?

31 Let us bow our heads. Our heavenly Father, oh, You've been so good to us. Time gets away so easy when we're talking about Jesus, talking about His wonderful works... today He said, "A little while, the world will see Me no more." The world doesn't understand; they're blinded by the god of this world, walking in darkness, in their own way, in their own sinful lust. But we thank Thee that Thou hast said, "I will be with you, even in you unto the end of the world." Tonight wherever You can find a sincere heart, You'll lead them by Your Spirit.
O God, this Saturday night when many people are shopping, many are out, roadhouses, places of ill-fame, young boys laying on the barroom floor, young girls, the road that's wrong, dancing their way to a Christless grave, and the old mother's prayers, right over the top of them... O Master, somehow, lead those people. Tonight speak to them, and may they find a place tomorrow at a good old fashion altar, become Your servant. Lord may the results of this meeting be an old fashion revival break out that'll sweep plumb through the cities and the nation, for we believe that soon You shall send Jesus. Gather us together.
There's many here tonight, Father, that's sick and needy, that feels Your Spirit now. We all know that You're here. You said, "Wherever two or three are gathered, I'll be in their midst." And we feeled You, literally with spiritual feeling. We know that You're here.
And now, Father, as I have testified to these people concerning a Divine gift. They only have my word unless You speak, Lord. But I know that You'll speak, vindicate it, testify of it. And all praise and glories to Thee, Thou marvelous Son of God. You're so wonderful to redeem us, us poor lost sinners worthy of death and separation, worthy of hell. But Thou has redeemed us. Oh, how my heart jumps when I think that I'm redeemed. And just as sure as You raised from the grave, someday we shall come forth with a new body that'll never be sick no more, or suffer.
Now, dear God, bless tonight those who are here. May the Holy Spirit just move right out over this audience now. Speak to every one of them, and say, "This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased." The Son of God, Jesus of Nazareth, His Spirit moving with us tonight, may they hu--sweetly accept It in the form of the Holy Spirit, and be saved and healed tonight. For we ask it in the Name of Thy Son, Jesus. Amen.

32 Yes, I do. It just... I'm not a very emotional type person, but my heart's been strangely warmed since I come in here tonight for some cause. I don't know why. I trust that God will pour out His Spirit yet tonight over the whole audience. And tomorrow, I pray that it'll be one gleaming Light of God around this little place.
Oh, people, fast and pray, get ready, Jesus is coming soon. I believe it. Be ready. What's it going to profit you if we should gain all the world then lose our soul. What good would it do us? No good at all. Let's serve Him with all of our heart.

33 While they're lining up the audience, let's pray again just a moment. Father, come near now. Abide with us, Jesus. Bless us tonight. There's those that are here so--looking so anxiously. And it's seemingly that just a little extra blessing is on us tonight somehow, or just around near. Maybe You're just fixing to pour out the Spirit upon us. We pray that it will be, Father.
Heal all, now. The Angel of God that You sent to me at my birth, guiding me down through life by Your hand, He Who meets and talks, and shows the visions that I speak of. O Jesus, send Him now in Thy Name, that He might be able to discern, the gift of discernment, to know the heart.
Said, "The things that I do, these shall you do also, and greater." You knew the heart of all people. You knew all diseases. You told Philip where he was at before he come to the prayer line. You told them where to find the horses tied. You told them where a empty room was to make ready the last supper. Oh, You told the woman of her sins.
And then one day they tied a rag around Your eyes, pulled beard out of Your face and spit on You. Said, "Now, prophesy and say who smote me." Lord, You never opened Your mouth.
We're thankful for Your wonderful life, for the Spirit that You have given us to live by. Help us now.
And may every disease that passes this a way, may great visions and wonders be done tonight. Grant it, Lord. And as the people sees these things done, may they accept Thee right then in the Name of Thy Son Jesus. Amen.

34 Somehow I just, somehow, I believe that there's great things going to happen, don't you? Look, Moses performed his signs one time before the children of Israel and everyone of them believed him. Is that right? He didn't have to put his hand in the second time to make his sign. He didn't have to turn his stick into a serpent... They believed.
Therefore, one sign that I speak of, that He gave for a sign, one sign can be proven, then you ought to accept it. And remember, as He's healing here on the platform, He can be healing out there the same time. You believe Him, don't worry about getting up here. Just accept Him right where you are, and God will heal you right where you're sitting now. You believe it? All right, all right.
Now, everyone be real reverent, and pray, and now... Oh, I wish you all felt like I do just now; such a feeling. Peace, just feels like you're just real light. Holy Spirit's in the building, the presence and the help [Gap in the audio.]...
Now I know none of you, don't know one person in here as far as I know. And I don't know what's wrong with you, God knows that. I don't know one thing's wrong with you. But I have to depend on Him, so you pray with me, Christian.

35 Good evening, just... maybe just for a moment, till I kind of get myself settled down to talk with you just a moment. You're a stranger to me, I'm a stranger to you, never seen you in my life. And I guess you never seen me before. As you look healthy and strong, but there's something wrong with you, or you wouldn't be here. Let's have your hand just a minute. Can't find it sir, so I want talk to you just a moment. You believe in God? Yes, you believe in God. You believe that--that God was in Chirst reconciling the world to Himself? And that the Spirit that was in Christ returned back to the earth in the form of the Holy Spirit to live in the church today; nine spiritual gifts to be given to the church? And now you being a stranger to me, knowing nothing of you, then if I ever know what's wrong with you, it would have to be revealed by a spiritual being, at that time.
You're worried aren't you, you've been fainting a whole lot, sister. Now, I'm not reading your mind, I--you're just now some... Now so the audience will know, a real strange feeling just begin coming on you, if that's right raise your hand, see. Now that's when your spirit would contact, and would get... Now this feels to me, I'm getting weak, you see. Just before a vision probably, is fixing to take place, I do not know. Yes, you're worried, you've been told you have a cancer, is that right? Just be reverent. Don't fear sister, believe. Let's see, now be reverent. Now, of course you feel real numb, that's kind of a... I just meant it broke, you keep looking at me, see. All right, a doctor never told you that, a man told you, you had a cancer. You was in a prayer line. After that you visited a doctor's office, and he told you, you didn't have a cancer. Did he tell you... I see him saying something, kind of a normal dressed man, wearing a dark-looking suit. Now, your trouble's in your throat, isn't it? That's right, in your throat. It's nervousness, sister, is what's wrong with you. Just nerves in your throat, you're going to be all right, Jesus Christ... You have faith now, don't you?
Father, your daughter stands here, worried and worked up. She feels that she did something wrong, but what... just now. God console your child. I lay hands upon her in the Name of Jesus Thy Son, and asked for this nervous, chafing sensation in her throat to leave her. She can return to her loved ones healthy and well, just now. Satan, leave the girl in the Name of Jesus Christ. Now look sister, all right, you may raise your head up. Now sister, is that the truth? Every word... [The sister speaks with Brother Branham.] You haven't? You go home now and believe, do as I tell you to do. Just forget all about all of it. Go on home, eat, drink, rejoice, and praise the Lord, tell everybody about your healing and glorify God. God bless you... [The sister testifies.] Amen. God bless you, sister.
All right, let's say, "Praise the Lord," everybody. Just be real reverent. All right, bring your next patient. Everybody be reverent. Thank you, brother.

36 God bless you, sister. Stop crying, mother. Look this way, mother. You, you're kind of worried, yourself, aren't you? Un huh, stand up just a moment, while the lady with the dark coat on... She looked at me, I seen something happen before. Haven't you got some trouble too? It's a female trouble, isn't it? Isn't that right? I see you--you refusing food, now you got a stomach trouble too, don't you? Well, Jesus Christ has healed you, you go on home and eat what you want to. He's answered your prayer, God bless you, mother. Just caught that.
Be of a good courage. Aren't you a minister? You're a reverend, aren't you? I thought I seen a pulpit near you. That's your wife, isn't it. She's a nervous condition, isn't that right? Be of a good courage, just keep praying. I seen it branch out, but I don't know what happened. Now you keep praying, Reverend. Be of a good courage.
How do you do? Are you the patient? [Gap in the audio.]... " Praise the Lord." It's a--it's a... emotional, you think why you're just a little emotional. Now, the lady's faith healed her, that's what done the work, was her faith. If you only had faith to believe, you can be healed of anything. Amen.

37 God bless you, sister. I see you're troubled, but I can't... now you--you--you're trying. Howdy do, sister. Let's see your hand, just a moment. Look this way, sister. There's many things that you feel is wrong with you. But there's one main thing that's causing it all, nervousness. You're extremely nervous, aren't you? You've been that way for a long time, too. Astigmatism in your eyes, they can't weep, isn't that right? When you was a child it was that way, yes, when you was just a little girl; school, so forth, you had them. I see that. You believe now? Yes, got such cause from your nerves, that your glands... [Brother Branham speaks inaudibly to the sister.] You believe now, with of all your heart? Let's see your hand. Now, look lady, see I realize that you're nervous and you're trying to believe. Now, I want you to keep loo... don't turn your head, see. Keep looking this a-way. Cuts off the vision from me. You believe now? You believe, I'll ask Him that nervousness will leave you? That's right. All now, you bow your head and be faithful.
Our Heavenly Father, we pray Thee to be merciful to our sister making her well, Lord. She's nervous and rundown, many, many worries of this life. Dear God, I pray that You'll heal her tonight, as I bless her in Thy Name, trusting that You'll make her completely well through Jesus Christ, Thy Son. Amen. God bless you, sister. Now, don't doubt Him nothing, believe with all your heart... All right, on with your next patient.

38 How do you do, sir? Our brother here, the man was just healed, just a momentary... you sir.
While I was praying for you, you felt a real cool feeling go through you, isn't that right? And everything that you had been doing or so forth did the Holy Spirit reveal it right here? If it is, raise your hand so the audience will know. You're a perfect stranger, aren't you? Now, how many believes that the gift of God has come down from heaven, in our midst. That's right. It's infallible, it never... Now, your healing is your faith, but the gift of God is perfect, perfect, never fails, can't fail, because It's God. Then if He can be here so close to you and know those things, reveal them to you as He promised He would do. "These things that I do, greater shall you do, for I go to My Father." Is that right?
Now, someone might think that it--it... It seems like that many times people says mental telepathy, and you know how that the Devil can rage. You know, they told Jesus that He cast out devils through Beelzebub. Is that right? The prince of devils, they have to find something. And looking at the people, you always make them... That's what caused the people to... Looking at their eyes, and it was reading their minds. That isn't it, friend. It's attracting the spirit that's in the person. See, they got a... and they're human beings and their faith got to be built up on this level to believe it, or he won't let loose. See, the...

39 Listen at the order of it; ministers, especially. Now, here it is, now listen close. "If you get the people to believe you," He said, "Be sincere when you pray, nothing will stand before your prayer."
I said, "They won't believe me. I'm uneducated, I can't speak right, and I have a poor family and so forth."
He said, "I'll be with you, and you'll be given two signs to cause the people to believe."
Now, those signs merely cause the people to believe. It doesn't heal them. Their faith is what heals. How many understands this,raise your hands. Oh, that's wonderful.
Now, the person's... Now here stands a man, standing here now. I--I haven't looked at him. I don't know him, but I say to that man, with my back turned to the man, if he will believe with all of his heart, and believe the story that I told about this, is the truth, God will make known to you what's wrong. You believe it? Say you believe with your all your heart, do you standing there? The patient, you believe with all your heart? All right, I've never touched you. If I be able to tell you what's wrong with you, will you... You'll know whether it's the truth or not, won't it? That right? You accept it coming from God? All right, will you do as I tell you? All right, you can go home now, you're going to get over that heart trouble you had. For the Lord has healed you... God bless... The Lord Jesus Christ make you whole.

40 Let's bow our heads and pray. Our Heavenly Father, we thank Thee from the depths of our heart for the Spirit of our Friend, Jesus Christ; Who saves, heals, and makes well. God bless everyone in here tonight. May all this audience around everywhere believe on You just now, and be healed everyone, Lord. May the Holy Spirit just move right down into this audience and heal all the sick and the afflicted. Save the unsaved, bring them to a knowledge of Thee, and let them know that soon You're coming, dear Jesus, to catch away a people who's Spirit-filled, Blood-washed, ready to go and meet you. Hear the cry of Thy humble sevant, in Jesus Name. Amen.
All right, everybody be reverent. Somebody right in here is praying. All right, be reverent, everyone... friend. I think it's someone standing there in the line that hasn't... prayed the other night to get in the line, somebody and I keep contacting.
Good evening, sister... Do you love Him with all your heart?... Could you trust Him with all your heart? You believe that, that what you feel is Him now? All right, then go home and that female trouble you had has left you now. You can go home and be well. Jesus Christ make you well. Let's say, "Praise the Lord." That's the way you're supposed to believe. Amen.

41 Sister, you're trying awfully hard, aren't you? Well, looky here, I want you to look this way. I seen you move twice, and I want to ask you something, laying down in that cot. You're a stranger to me. You're laying there disappointed because you couldn't get a prayer card, isn't that right? You wanted a card so bad. I don't know you sister, but I do know now what's wrong with you. And I know that you're not going to live but a very few days if something isn't done for you, because you're suffering with cancer, isn't that right? That's right. You can't live unless something's done for you, now I'm going to ask you to do it, as your brother. Why do you lay there till you die? Nothing can be done for you in medical aid. Only faith, is only thing can help you tonight, isn't that right? Then why not believe God's Word? Why not? Do you believe this, the discernment the Spirit moving the very... That's the very God of creation, do you believe that? Do you accept me as His servant? Do you believe on me as His prophet? You do? Will you obey me the same way? Then, in the Name of Jesus Christ the Son of God, rise up from there and go home and be well. That's it. Just raise up.
Lady, you with the red coat on, sitting there also, you're suffer of cancer, aren't you? All right, raise your hands up if that ain't the... there ought to be two stand up on their feet, Jesus Christ has made you whole. Let's say, "Praise the Lord." Do you believe He's with you? He's here, let's stand and give Him praise, everybody. Let's just praise Him right now. Will you believe Him? Will you accept Him... Accept Him now. You sister, do you believe Him now with your heart? Accept Him just now, say... Let's raise our hands to the Lord Jesus.
Father, move into this hearts of this people, just now. Now may the Holy Spirit confirm the Word just now, with signs and wonders, in the Name of Jesus the Son of God
Now audience, listen closely. Notice...

Led by the Spirit

1 Let us remain standing now for a word of prayer.
O Lord, we are grateful to Thee tonight for this grand opportunity to come to Thee, and to call Thee our Father. Oh, what a privilege for a mortal to call God his Father. This was all made possible by the love of Thy beloved Son and His sacrifice when He died at Calvary to redeem this fallen race of Adam's back to God. And we're so thankful to Thee tonight for ever sending Him. And we pray that His Spirit, which is with us now, will bless us in the further part of this service. Bless the feeble efforts that we put forth to magnify His name.
Save the lost, Lord. Let them realize tonight their serious condition of being away from God in this great dark hour that we're living in. May they come back. If they have ever accepted Jesus as their Saviour, may tonight they hurry back and meet Him again. I'm sure He will be standing with outstretched arms, waiting. May something be done or said tonight that would cause them to act in this manner.

2 And we pray for the sick and the afflicted, that the presence of the Holy Ghost will bring faith to the people's hearts, that they might accept their healing that Jesus gave to them some nineteen hundred years ago when He was striped in Pilate's judgment hall.
Forgive us of our shortcomings. Our unbelief, place it under His blood. When we leave tonight, may we be able to say like those that came from Emmaus, "Did not our hearts burn within us as He talked to us?" For we ask it in Jesus' name. Amen. May be seated.

3 I was talking just a short while ago, this late evening ... or afternoon, rather, to little Ricky's father. And they're going to have little Ricky here Thursday night on the platform. I'm sure you'll all be glad to see little Ricky. That's the one we were testifying of last evening. They're going to bring him. He was a hopeless case. The doctors had give him up with cancer. And even to run his little tongue out of his mouth, and his little face swollen up, and the Lord Jesus immediately touched him, and he's living today. His father was here last evening, and is going to bring him Thursday night with the mother, here at the platform, the Lord willing.
I have been letting you out so late each evening till I feel kind of ashamed of myself, so I'm going to hurry right up tonight and try to get the prayer line through.

4 I wish to read for a little quotation, which I will just take a few moments to try to build a context around this that I'm reading for a text. I want to read from Saint Luke, the second chapter, the twenty-fifth verse. Reads like this:
And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.

5 Our scene opens tonight in that great historical city of Jerusalem some two thousand years ago. Let's kind of believe it was on Monday morning just after a great day before of worshipping. And as there was in Palestine at that time, some two million Jews.
They was very religious, devout to their laws. And it was a law that had been given them, that after a baby was born, a male, after eight days it must be circumcised. And then the mother must offer a sacrifice for her purification, for her cleansing.

6 And being so many children ... or, so many people in Jerusalem at the time, and the regions around about, there must have been every morning a long line of women standing ready to offer their sacrifice for their purification of their baby ... of theirselves from having the baby.
And this morning was no exception. There must've been a great long line of women. And they were, perhaps, talking just as mothers do, and having their little babies. And each one is the prettiest little baby in the world, of course, as all mothers think of their babies. And they should think that. And many was coming all prettied-up, you know, for this great event.
And them that was able to afford such, a lamb was provided for the sacrifice. That was for a family that was able to ... could afford such. But if the family was poor and could not afford a lamb, a turtledove would do just as well.

7 I can see down along that long line of women in the side of the temple, pretty little jackets made on babies for ... their little boots and so forth, as mothers love to dress them. They'd waited for the event, and it must have been a dramatic sight to watch this.
But on this morning, way down along the line, I see a little lady. We'd judge her to, say, about sixteen, eighteen years old. And she had a turtledove or two in her hands for her cleansing. And we notice the little baby that she was packing did not have on a little blue jacket, or little needle work clothes. But I notice it's wrapped in swaddling's cloth.
And if I get the right understanding of what this baby was wrapped in, was something they'd taken off of the back of a yoke of a ox, that was hanging in the stable, a little cave stable in Bethlehem where it was born.

8 And, of course, this little lady, she being believed to have been, this baby borned out of holy wedlock. You can imagine how the women felt. "Keep your distance from her, for she's really... That baby is not really born in holy wedlock, because she was to be mother before she and Joseph was married." Keeping their distance... But yet in that little Jewish woman's arms, she held a treasure that she knew where it come from.
And I think that's the way it is tonight to everybody that's ever received Christ. They might be kind of excommunicated from their associates and from what's called the popularity of the world. And they might not be as popular among the great people of the world, as they, maybe, could've been. But down in every person's heart that's ever held Christ, they know what they're holding.
Sometimes they have to bear a name of being a fanatic. And it's been that sometimes the devil has placed that ridiculous name of "holy-roller." No matter what kind of a name they have to bear, they know what they're holding.

9 It didn't bother little Mary, as she looked at her little baby and beat Him on the chin with her fingers to watch His pretty little smile across His face. No matter how far they kept from her, she knew what she had.
That's the way it is tonight with Christians. They know what they've got when they've ever took Christ in their heart.

10 Now the time had come where there was not too many believers left. But God has always had a remnant of people who believed Him. And we're told that there was an old man in Jerusalem at that time by the name of Simeon. And he was a renowned old fellow. He was a teacher, a master in Israel. Let's say he'd be some eighty years old, long flowing white beard, and his hair. But he was a devout man. He was a man who believed God and was waiting for God to fulfill His promise.
I'd like to stop here just a moment to say this. If you make a promise to anybody, you're obligated to that promise. And if you're a man or woman of honor, you'll do everything you can to keep that promise. But it could be that something might happen that you could not keep it.
But did you know God's more obligated to keep His promise than you are? When God makes a promise, He's got to keep it in order to be God. Every promise He makes is true. And He's obligated to that promise. If you'll keep that in mind while you're crossing through this prayer line tonight, something will happen to you---to know that God cannot make a promise and not stick to it. He's got to.
And He knows all things, so He's infinite. We're finite and can make a promise and have to take it back; but He can't, because He's perfect. He knows everything, the end from the beginning. So He has to keep His promise. And He's always got somebody who will believe that. God, let me be one of those. No matter how much you have to be criticized and laughed at, let me believe God's promise and stay with it.

11 And this old man was an honorable man, had a great reputation among the people. And one day, perhaps maybe in the prayer room or in his study, the Holy Ghost came to him and made him a promise. And said, "Simeon, you're not going to die until you see the Christ." He believed it. He had a right to believe it, because the Holy Spirit had give him the promise. And the Holy Spirit, who gave him the promise, was obligated to bring him to Christ when Christ came.
That's the reason that you're here tonight for divine healing, is because you believed that God made the promise. How many believes in divine healing?

12 You know, David said one time, "When the deep calls to the deep..." If there's a deep calling, there's got to be a deep to respond to that call. I've often made this statement, that before there was a fin on a fish's back, there first had to be a water for him to swim in, or he'd never had use of the fin. Before there could be a tree to grow in the earth, there must first be an earth for it to grow in.
Some years ago I read in a newspaper where a little boy was eating the erasers off of his pencils at school. And his mama found him one day out on the back porch eating the peddle off of his brother's bicycle. And she was disturbed and she took the little fellow down to the clinic. And as the faithful doctors examined him in every way they could, they found out that his little body was craving sulfur. And sulfur's found in rubber. Now, why was he eating the peddle off of the bicycle? Because there was something in there calling for sulfur. And if there was something calling for sulfur, there had to be a sulfur first, or it would never have been in there.

13 In other words, like this, before there can be a creation, there has to be a Creator to create the creation. And if you're thirsting tonight for the healing power of God, there's got to be a fountain open somewhere, or you'd never thirst for it. How many longs for a deeper walk with God? Every hand up. Well, there's a deeper walk somewhere, or you'd never thirst for it.
Something has created in you a desire to walk closer to God. Something has created in you a desire to be healed by God. Well, before that could be created in your body, in your spirit, there has to be a Creator of that. And that Creator is the Holy Spirit. That's why you're here tonight, is because the Holy Spirit has led you here.

14 Now, Simeon read in the Scriptures where that there was coming a Messiah. And while he was sitting reading this Scripture, the Holy Spirit said, "You're not going to die until you see Him." He wasn't afraid of his testimony. He didn't care about his prestige. He was telling everyone, "I'm going to live to see the Messiah come."
Well now, of course, you know what the world would've thought of that. Some of them, perhaps, said, "The old man's just gone off a little bit in the head. His mind's kind of leaving him." And it'd be said about you.
When people take God at His Word and believe His promise, it's so supernatural till it becomes crazy to the people of the world. If they just... God is so much greater, His promises and His power and His being and His living and His expectations of us is so much higher than the things of the world, till we become crazy to the world. And has not the Scripture well placed it? "All that live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecutions." Blessed are you when you're persecuted for Him.

15 Now, we see this old man going around and telling people. And no matter what they said, he believed it, because he had a good reason to believe it. The Holy Spirit had led him, and created in him a faith to believe that.
That's why you're here tonight for healing. You've read it in the Scripture; it's a promise of God. As he read there's a promise that the Messiah's coming, then the Holy Spirit said, "You're going to see Him!"
The same Holy Spirit... There's no two Holy Spirits; there's only one. The same Holy Spirit that led Simeon to testify that, has led you here tonight.

16 There he was. On this morning he was sitting back, say, into his study. And all of a sudden something taken place.
I like God's sudden moves, don't you? Just shakes you all at once; and you respond to it!---something's fixing to happen.
Then Simeon sitting back in his study, perhaps, we would say, he reached over into the little pocket and pulled out a scroll. And he begin to read it. And it read something like this: "Unto us a son is born, unto us a child is given: and His name shall be called Counselor, Prince of Peace, mighty God, everlasting Father." And just about that time, the Spirit must've said, "Stand on your feet, Simeon."
Without a least of hesitation, the old sage dropped the scroll on the table and stood to his feet. "Start walking, Simeon!"
"Where shall I go, Lord?"
"That's none of your affair. Just start out; I will take the rest of the way."

17 That's the way it is to you tonight in the wheelchair. You (cots, stretchers, wherever you are), if God's making the lead... The doctors says you're going to die; that's the best the doctor knows. But if something tells you to rise and accept Christ as your Healer, start walking! It's His business to take care of the rest.
"I haven't moved, Brother Branham, for so..." That don't make any difference if you've never moved. God speaks to your heart, "Move," move! For sons and daughters of God are led by the Spirit of God---Romans 8:14.

18 And Simeon started walking. Led by the Spirit, here he comes into the temple. Strange enough, he turns, not knowing where he's going, walks down to this line of women. Some of them, "Here comes the honorable reverent Simeon." Walks down along the side of the line... "Oh," some of them says, "you know that's the old man that some of them have said that kind of gone off of his head. He's got too religious."
Do you think tonight that he was too religious? Certainly you don't. He's a saint in our scene, and in heaven tonight enjoying fellowship with all the redeemed.

19 And as he come walking down along that line, I see him stop by this little lady that everyone was keeping their distance from. Well, someone might have said, "There you are. See, birds of a feather flock together." That's true. I like that, too.
"Come out from among the world and be separated," is God's command. "Be ye separated, and then I will receive you."
And here she comes, walking over toward Simeon as he reached his arms for the baby. And I can see him as he looks in the face of this baby; he raises his head towards heaven, and the tears of joy must've run over his old white beard, when he said, "Lord, let Thy servant depart in peace, according to Thy words, for my eyes have seen Thy salvation." Led of the Spirit.

20 Way over in the corner sitting in a little ... darkness of the world with no eyes to look through, yet she could see better than many theologians tonight in Los Angeles with good eyes. Her name was Anna. She was a prophetess. She didn't leave the temple; she stayed there day and night, fasting, praising God, waiting for the coming of the Messiah. And the Holy Spirit must have said, "Stand on your feet, Anna!"
She didn't have any eyes; she was blind. Here she come, weaving her way through the people, led by the Holy Spirit. What Holy Spirit was that? The same One that led you here tonight, still moving on sons and daughters of God.
Led by the Spirit as she moved along. She come close to the baby and raised up her hands and blessed God. If the Holy Ghost could take an old blind woman in the corner and lead her to the Christ, how much more should He lead us tonight? Led, moved. God works in mysterious ways, His wonders to perform.

21 Just a little personal testimony of something comes in my mind. I was coming from Dallas not long ago, a few years ago, and there come a storm in the air. And I was on one of the airlines, and it come down at Memphis. And so they told me to go up to the ... the limousine was taking me up to the Peabody Hotel. It's a great place. I thought that would be good if at least one time I get to stay in a big hotel, so they was going to pay for it. So they took me up and give me a nice room at their expense.
So after I got settled down, the phone ring. I was writing some letters, and fixing to read my Bible, and then pray and go to bed. Said, "Reverend Branham, the plane will be leaving in the morning at seven o'clock. This flight will not go out until seven. The limousine will pick you up at seven."

22 I said, "Very well, sir." I hung up, and finished my mail, and prayed, and went to bed. (And had them to call me.) And early the next morning I got up, and I thought, "I don't want any breakfast. Somehow I just feel like... It's a beautiful morning. The sun had come out real pretty. This was spring time." So I thought, "I will run down real quick and find a post office box and mail these letters before the limousine picks me up for the airport." And I started out with the letters in my hand, going down the street.
And all of a sudden, something said, "Stop and go back the other way!" Oh, I thought that maybe that was an impression. Why would I want to go back that way? So I just kept on going. And it got stronger, and stronger, until I said, "I must pray. This might be the Holy Spirit."

23 And there was... I happened to pass by a shop that had fishing tackle in it. So I went up in the little doorway there to look for the fishing tackle, or act like I was looking for it. And I seen the big Irish cop over there giving signals and letting the people cross. No one around me, and I bowed my head, and I said, "Lord, was that You speaking to me to go back?"
And something said, "Turn, and go back."
I was sure it was God. I believe that people who are born of the Holy Spirit understand what I'm talking about, just something impressing you so, not a audible voice or a vision, but just something that impresses you. People are born, set in the church, to see visions and so forth. But the Holy Spirit works in many different ways. And it's just as real---the Holy Spirit---one way as it is the other way. It's all the Holy Spirit.

24 So I turned and started walking, walking, and I just kept on walking. Finally, I found myself down in the colored district. I looked at my watch, and it was ten minutes after seven. "Oh," I thought, "I missed my plane." But something just kept urging me, "Go on. Just keep on moving."
I trust that that same Spirit tonight when you're prayed for, whether you're prayed for here at the platform or not, will let you get a vision of Christ's promise to you, and just urge you to keep on. "I can just move one finger." Just keep on moving that finger till you can move a hand, and then an arm, and then a leg, and so forth, and then go on. "I feel just a little better." Well, keep praising Him! Keep going on! Don't get off on a side line, "Maybe I will go back in the prayer line again." That's no good. Go on right the way you're going. Just keep being led by the Holy Spirit. That wee little voice, if you'll just open your heart, you'll hear it.

25 Notice. As we went on down the street, He and I, He was leading me along. And, oh, it was a beautiful morning. The sun was rising high now. And the roses was blooming down in the little clusters of the rambling rose, and so forth. And the fresh rain and the sun coming out had brought the fragrance of the honeysuckle. And it was a beautiful morning.
And I was going along there. I did not know no more where I was going than I would know if I'd started out visa versa from my hotel tonight. Just going along led by the Spirit. I thought, "Oh, I've done missed my plane, so I will just catch another one. I'm in no hurry anyhow, got three or four days before another meeting." I just kept on walking along, just thinking, "Lord, I don't know where You're taking me to, maybe a place of prayer."

26 I passed by a bunch of little shacks, like, where some of the colored people live. I looked, leaning across a gate...
And to my dear loving colored friends, tonight, me trying to impersonate this woman's voice now. I'm not trying to make light of your grammar, because mine's worse than yours. But she was leaning out, a typical Aunt Jemima, with a man's shirt tied around her head, great big fat cheeks. She was looking down the street when I come up.
And I was singing that little song that you Pentecostal people sing, about "I'm So Glad I Can Say I'm One of Them." I believe that's the way it goes.
They were gathered in the upper room,
All praying in His name.
They were baptized with the Holy Ghost,
And power for service came;
And what He did for them that day
He'll do for you the same.
I'm so glad that I can say, I'm one of them.
And I was trying to learn that little song.

27 I was going along, humming it to myself. And I noticed this old lady as she looked across the gate, great big smile across her face. I stopped humming, started on by, and she said, "Good morning, Parson."
Said, "How do you do, Auntie." She just started grinning, the great big tears running off of those cheeks.
I said, "How did you know I was a parson?" Now, a parson means "a minister."
And she said, "I knowed you was coming."
I said, "How? Auntie, how did you know I was coming?"
She said, "Well, I will tell you how it was, Parson." She said, "Did you ever read that story in the Bible about the Shunammite woman, who the Lord gave a baby by the promise that Elijah the prophet gave her?"
And I said, "Oh, sure. I'm well acquainted with the story. I just preached on it a few weeks ago."
"Well," she said, "I's was that kind of woman. And I didn't have any children, and husband and I wanted a baby so bad. And I prayed, and the Lord gave me this baby. And I told Him I'd dedicate the baby to Him." And said, "I's washed over the washboard, Parson." She said, "I's a wash woman in this district." And she said, "I raised that boy the best of my knowledge to love the Lord." She said, "He got out in the wrong company and he taken a social disease."
And we's didn't know nothing about no social disease. And our boy got sicker and sicker. And finally we taken him to the doctor man, and he said there's no hopes for him, he's gone, that the venereal disease had got into his blood stream and eaten up the parts of his heart. And when his blood would pump up, so much of it would drop back through. The valves in his heart was eaten off by the disease." And said, "The doctor man said there was no chance for him." And said, "He's laying in there on the bed." And said, "He's been unconscious now for two days." And said, "I just can't stand to see my baby die like that, and I prayed all night last night, 'Lord, You's give me the baby, but where is the Elisha?'"

28 You can imagine how I felt. I thought, "Lord, is this it?" I never said a word to her about being led over there. I said, "My name is Branham. Did you ever hear of me?"
She said, "No, suh, I don't believe I ever did."
And I said, "Well, how did you now I was coming?"
She said, "I went to sleep about three o'clock this morning. And I dreamed that I saw a man coming, wearing a little tan suit with a little Western hat stuck over on one side of his head. He had some letters in his hand." And said, "The Lord said, 'Go out and wait for him.'" She said, "I've been standing here ever since."
I patted her on the back, and her back was wet with dew. It was true. And I said. "Well, my ministry is praying for the sick, Auntie."
She wasn't interested in that. She said, "Won't you come in?" She opened up that little old gate with a plow point hanging on a chain. I walked into that little old hut that morning, little two room hut, no rug on the floor nor nothing, a little old poster bed, cracks in the floor big enough that, oh, the wind just sweep up through it.
I've been in king's palaces. And I've had the privilege of being in some of the nicest homes, I guess, in the world. But I never felt any more at home in all my life than I did in that little hut that morning. When I looked on the wall, it was not pin-ups, it was a little motto on the wall, "God bless our home." A little old chunk stove set in the corner. And on this poster bed laid a fine-looking big man, looked like he'd go about a hundred and seventy pounds and some six foot tall. And he had the blanket in his hand, going, "Hmm. Hmm. Oh, it's dark," he said.
And I said, "What's he saying?"
She said, "Parson, he's been talking about ... the last two days since he's been unconscious." Said, "In his unconsciousness, he thinks he's in a great sea somewhere lost in the dark. And he's pulling a boat trying to find land. And I can't stand to see my baby die like that, Parson."

29 She went over and stroked his head, kissed him and said, "God bless mammy's baby." Great big fellow like that, dying in shame and sin, yet that mother's love went and still a baby to her. No matter how much disgraced he was, and how he'd disgraced the family, it was still that love of the mother went out for her baby.
I think of that sometimes and think, "If a mother could forget her suckling babe," but God said, "I can't forget you. Your names are engraved on the palms of my hand."
So backslider, tonight, remember, you can't get away from it. He still loves you. That's why you're here tonight. He's trying to give you another chance, knocking at your door.

30 I got down on the floor to pray. She got down by the side of his head, and I got down by his feet. And I touched his feet. It seemed like it was cold, sticky. Certainly death was on the boy. And I said, "Auntie, being that you are the mother of the boy, won't you pray first?"
She said, "Certainly, Parson." She bowed her head. And you talk about a prayer. You could tell it wasn't learned in some school; it come from the bottom of her heart. Speaking to God, you could tell she'd talked to Him before. She knew what she was speaking about. When she got through praying, she wiped her eyes with her old apron she had on, and she looked over at me.

31 I said, "I will pray now, Auntie." I put my hands over on his feet. I said, "Lord, I don't know what to say. Is this why You made me miss my airplane to come down here to pray for this woman's boy? If it is, O Lord, let it be known that You're God and You'll respect her prayers and her sincerity."
And about that time, that big fellow said, "Oh, Mama." Said, "It's getting light in the room now. The darkness is going away." In a few minutes he was sitting on the side of the bed talking to us.
I rushed out quickly, thumbed a cab, went to the airport. And when I got into the gate, they was making the last call for that plane. God had held that plane on the ground by the faith of illi---a woman that probably didn't know her ABC's, some poor dark colored woman, "ignorant," as we would call it. God grounded that plane, and held it there until her prayer was answered! He's the same God tonight that He was then!

32 About two years after that, I was going to Phoenix on the train. I was going through Memphis. (I'd never heard of them anymore.) And if anyone's ever been in Memphis, the train coming from the East pulls into the station like this, and is going to make about a twenty minute stop. I wanted to get some sandwiches; they cost you too much on the train. About forty cents for a little bitty sandwich, I can get a sack full of hamburgers almost for that. And I just keep them in the train with me, and eat them as I went along as I got hungry.
So I jumped off to get me a sack full of hamburgers. And I started walking real fast, and I heard somebody say, "Hello there, Parson Branham!"
I looked over there, and a little old red cap standing there you know, batting his eyes, come running over to me. I said, "How do you do, young man?"
Said, "You don't know me, do you?"
Said, "I don't believe I do."
Said, "About two years ago, one morning you come down to my house."
I said, "You're not that boy?"
He said, "Yes I am." He said, "I's a Christian now, serving the Lord."

33 Leadings of the Spirit. That same Holy Ghost has led you here tonight. It's led you here, not to go home sick, but to go home well. It's led you sinner friends here to go home a Christian, sold out to the things of the world. You backsliders, it's brought you here to come back home to God again tonight. Think of it while we bow our heads.
O Lord, as I think of these experiences of these thirty years of ministering on the field. I don't know tonight, Lord, where that boy is. You know. But some of these days when life is finished for us both, I will meet him again. O Lord, while it is light, let us walk in the light of the Holy Spirit, for the hour is coming when darkness and gross darkness will cover the people in the land.

34 We ask tonight, Lord, that You would take these people that You have led them ... and placed in their hearts that there is a God that loves them, and wants to save them, and wants to heal them. Now that You've led them here for some cause. I believe it's because that Jesus, the Son of God, is present to take away all the sins and the sickness of the people, and to start in our hearts an old fashioned revival. And may every church throughout the country be benefited. We believe that Thou art here, Lord, and we pray that You will bless our efforts.
And now, Father, we realize that talking is one thing, and speaking of a God is one thing, but when that same God will come and manifest Himself that He is alive, that He only died temporarily for an atonement, that we might have these privileges to be led by His Spirit... Now may He come among the people with great power tonight, and do, and act, and show Himself alive by the same signs and wonders and miracles that He did when He was here on earth. May He manifest Himself tonight to this people like He did the woman at the well. May He manifest Himself tonight in the way that He told her she had husbands that wasn't legal husbands, and knowed the secret of her heart. And she said, "We know when the Messiah cometh, He will tell us these things," and He said, "I am He that speaketh with thee." Let it happen again, Lord.

35 And grant it will be known tonight, also, that the same One who knowed where Nathanael was, and who he was, let Him be made known tonight also. And when those that were on the road, broken-hearted, from Jerusalem going to Emmaus on that first Yule ... Easter morning, when the resurrection had just taken place a few hours prior to the time, He was among them and they didn't know it.
I'm sure it's the same thing tonight, Lord. You're here, but the people maybe don't know it. May You do for us tonight like You did for them then. When you got them in the room and closed the door, You did something just the way You did it before You were crucified. And they knowed by this that it was their risen Lord. Light-footed, swiftly they ran to tell others. And may it be so tonight when we leave here, we will go not only light-footed, but light-hearted to tell others that Jesus is risen from the dead. He forgives all sins of the sinners and heals the sickness of the people, for we have seen Him make Himself manifested to His church. We ask this in Jesus' name, and for His sake. Amen.

36 I think there was a hundred cards given today. I'm going to ask you something, just for the sake of time and for the newcomers who is not ... been their first time here. I do not claim to be a divine healer. I do not believe there is such a thing.
I believe that Jesus Christ redeemed you from a life of sickness just as He redeemed you from a life of sin. If the old covenant had healing in it---the old atonement of the blood of lambs, and goats, and heifers had healing in it---how much more is this better covenant got healing in it from the blood of God's own Son, Jesus.
Now, you're already healed, every one of you. But the only reason that you can't accept it, maybe, is that you want to go through a routine of laying on of hands. That's all right. But that doesn't heal you. You're healed by your faith in a finished work that God did for you at Calvary. Your healing comes through that.

37 Now, the Holy Spirit has led you here tonight. Why? You believe in healing. If there's a fountain open somewhere, He's obligated to lead you to that. Now, the next is yours.
Now, to make it... If we could be sure that He was alive. If He's alive, He will be as He was yesterday, because the Scripture says He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. What was He yesterday? Did He go around with His chest sticking out and saying, "I'm a healer?" Never. That don't look like our Lord. Our Lord never claimed to be a healer. He said, "It's not me that doeth the works, it's my Father that dwelleth in me. It's Him that doeth the works." Saint John 5:19, He said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing in himself, but what he sees the Father doing; that doeth the Son likewise. The Father worketh, and I worketh hitherto."
In other wise, God showed Him by a vision every one of His miracles that He did. Now, trace it through the Scriptures and you'll find that it's the truth.

38 Only, sometimes the people, their faith touched God through Him. Then He got weak when a woman touched Him with a blood issue, caused weakness in His body.
But it was all done by vision, what the Lord had showed Him, because He can't tell something wrong. He said, "I do nothing until the Father shows me." Not "reveals it," but "shows it to me."
Elijah put all the wood and stuff in order, and put the sacrifice, said, "Lord, I did all of this at Thy command."
Men just can't go by ... do what they want to do in their own will. Jesus didn't even do that. God had a program, and we've got to meet that program.

39 What if you've got an artesian well on this mountain, and a crop burning up on this mountain. You could stand and scream all night long, and it'll never water the crop. But if you'll work it according to the laws of gravitation, it'll bring the water right over to your crop.
That's the way it is here. The Holy Spirit's led you here. Now if you'll work according to the leading of the Holy Spirit that's brought you here, there's enough power in this room right now to heal every person that's here. I'm sure the Holy Ghost is here. Then if He's here, to His promise that, "Wherever two or three are gathered in my name, I will be in their midst. Ask any one thing, agree upon it, it'll be done." Now, if we will agree...

40 It would be impossible for me, almost, to just take each one through this building to pray for them individually. I couldn't do it. But if the Holy Spirit will come, and we yield ourselves, you yield yourself, I will yield myself... You have a gift; I have a gift. It's the gift of the Holy Spirit. Then let the Holy Spirit so enshroud us with His power, until I won't know that I'm saying, and I will be able to be so surrendered to Him that He will speak through my lips and tell you the secrets of your heart like He did when He was here on earth. Like He did when Peter came to Him; He said, "Why, your name is Simon. Your father is Jonas." Said, "From henceforth, you shall be called Peter." First time He'd ever seen him...
When Philip come, He said, "Behold an Israelite, in whom there's no guile."
He said, "When did You know me, Rabbi?"
Said, "Before the..." When Nathanael come, rather; said, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the tree, I saw you." Think of it.

41 The woman at the well... He looked upon the people, and they said in their hearts, "He's Beelzebub." They didn't say it out loud, but Jesus perceived their thoughts. Is that true?
Said, "I will forgive you for calling Me Beelzebub, but," in so many words, "someday, the Holy Ghost is coming, then speak against that, will never forgiven." Let us think of it.
And if our Lord, who has led us here tonight in this congregation (Which each of us will stand at the day of the judgment and give an account for tonight. We know that.), and if the Holy Spirit will come in here and make Hisself known that He is the risen Christ, every one of you ought with one accord to believe it, for anything that you have need of, for the promise is to whosoever will.

42 Now, Lord, I commit myself unto Thee now for this service. Bless these words that has been said, though they be broken up, Lord. But maybe, somehow, that You can place them together and get them into the people's hearts and minds, that they might understand. May the Holy Spirit do this.
And come, Lord, and reveal Yourself to us tonight as that same risen Jesus, that He's present and keeps His promise, "I will be with you, even in you, to the end of the world. And the works that I do shall you do also." Let the works be here, Lord, that they might know with their own eyes, and hear with their ears, the manifestation of the resurrection of Thy beloved Son, the Lord Jesus, for we ask it in His name. Amen.

43 (A's or B's? B's.) Prayer cards B's, a hundred of them was given out just awhile ago in the meeting, as my son told me. And now, we will start with B number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Let them come first and line up over here. Number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Just the ten, and then just a minute... We will get them all, but we don't want a confusion. We will be...
All right, while they're talking, I would like to ask the audience now... And please, give great reverence. See, we are in the house of the Lord. You believe that, don't you? And we must be real reverent, and respect each other, and love each other, and show respects to each other.
I believe it was a few nights ago here, somewhere else, that a crippled... No, it was a crippled woman---I believe that was in Jamaica---that she was sitting there, and she gave a place, respect to a woman that had heart trouble, her place to stand at the line. And because she did that, the Holy Spirit come back around and healed her. Yes, see, that's it. Love and show respects to one another.

44 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. All right. We want to get lined up, ten, the first ten. As soon as they get them lined up, then we will line up more, and then more, and then more, till we get them all lined up.
Now, while we're waiting on them, I wonder how many in the building tonight that's here and sick, and does not have a prayer card, but you believe that God's going to heal you, raise up your hand. You don't have a prayer card now. You have no prayer card, but you believe that the Lord Jesus is going to heal you and make you well. God bless you. Looks like it's just everywhere.
So while these are coming, may I say this to you who are standing by. One time Jesus was on His road by a vision to heal ... raise up a little girl by the name of... I don't know what her name was; her father's name was Jairus; he was a priest. And he'd come to get Jesus to go lay His hands on the little girl. And while he was yet coming, someone come and said, "Don't trouble the Master any farther; she's dead." And the little fellow's heart just about to break.
Jesus turned and said, "If thou can only believe..."
And while He was on His road---the people thronging Him---there was a little woman who knowed that she couldn't attract a man like that. So she said within herself...
Let's take it like this. It wasn't like that; you know the story. "I haven't got a prayer card, so I'm not going to be in the prayer line. But I believe that He's God, God's Son. So I'm going to go up there, and I believe if I can just simply touch His garment, I will be made well." Are you familiar with the story? And she pressed through the crowd, maybe squeezed between the people until she got to a place, and she touched His garment. She went back and sat down.
Jesus stopped, and He said, "Who touched me?"
And they rebuked Him, said, "Why..." Peter did, and said, "Everyone's touching you. Why did you say such a thing as that? 'Who touched me?'"
He said, "I perceive that strength has gone from me, virtue has gone from me." And He looked around over the audience until He found the little woman without a prayer card. And He said about her blood issue she'd had, said, "Your faith has saved you."

45 Now, do you believe that He is the High Priest today according to the book of Hebrews? The High Priest, He is sitting His body, that corporal body that God was manifested in, for God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself...
Now, God's in His church reconciling the world to Himself. But then when Jesus died to make the atonement ... He rose on the third day, and God raised that body up and set it on His right hand in glory. Do you believe that? He's sitting on the throne of God, the right hand of power and majesty in glory. And then, as we make confessions, then that body stands there as a perpetual atonement. And when we confess that He's did anything, He's a High Priest there to stand in our place, a sacrifice, a sacrificed High Priest, that's standing in the presence of God with His own blood to make intercessions upon our confession.

46 Now, here's what you do then. Say, "Lord Jesus, the great High Priest of the covenant, I most humbly come to Thee in confession of my sin."
Now, sin is unbelief. Smoking's not a sin. Drinking's not a sin. Committing adultery is not sin. That's the attributes of unbelief. If you believed, you wouldn't do those things, see. There's only one sin, and that's unbelief: "He that believeth not is condemned already," see. You smoke, lie, steal, drink, commit adultery, because you're not a believer. A believer doesn't do that. He's passed from death unto life. "He that heareth my words, and believeth on him that sent me, has eternal life, and shall never come to the judgment; but has passed from death to life." John 5:24.

47 All right. Have we got that many? 1, 10? 10 to 20 now. Let them stand, another ten. A's-10 to 20... 25. A-10 to 25. Let them come over here now and get in... Or, B, I mean. It's B prayer cards, from 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, on up like that till 25. Then we won't have any confusion, you know, too many on the floor, walking.
Now, do you believe that the Scripture teaches that He's a High Priest now that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities? Does the Scripture teach that? Well, if He is the same Jesus, the same High Priest that walks here on earth... And for me, I don't believe there's any other mediator between God and man but that man, Christ Jesus. That's right. I believe that God made Him the High Priest, the only mediator between God and man.
Now. And then if He's sitting there on the throne to make intercessions, and if you touched that High Priest with the feeling of your infirmities, how would He act? The same way He did when He was here on earth. Is that right?

48 Then how could He do that? By letting His Holy Spirit so carry us to a place that you would believe it; and by a divine gift that the Holy Spirit has given me, relaxing myself, just making myself relaxed, till the Holy Spirit would speak through me the very thing that's wrong with you, or the things for you to do, just like He did the woman that touched His garment. Do you believe that?
All right. So then, don't think of prayer card now. Think of what the Lord Jesus has promised.
Now, 25 to 50 in B's. Let them stand. If you can go around to the part of the place back that way, maybe. Is there and opening back that way? If you go right around through the back way, I believe you could make it a lot quicker than coming through this way. 25 to 50, let them line up. Now, the rest of you now without prayer cards, just sit real reverent. Watch this a way. And if you'll believe right now, before the prayer line ever starts or anything, He will heal you.
Now, 25 to 50. The ushers... That's right, brethren. Get them right into the line. All right. As soon as that group clears out, we will call some more. And if you'll go right out this way, I believe you won't have to squeeze among the people.

49 And now remember that tomorrow night, Wednesday night, is a regular prayer meeting night. Be sure to come out. Thursday night, little Ricky's to be here. And Friday, Saturday, Sunday morning... Saturday morning, I'm to speak at the Full Gospel Businessmen's breakfast down in Los Angeles. I believe they have it at Clifton's. Is that right, Brother Kopp? Clifton's. And then Saturday night back here at the Temple. And Sunday morning at a little Armenian church, way down ... only holds about twenty people. It's an old friend of mine. I'm going down to sit in their church, come back. I'm getting plumb away from here. So if I go to one where all the cooperating ministers... Going down there to just sit with an old friend of mine. Sunday afternoon, back to the Temple; Sunday night, back to the Temple also for the closing of the meeting, as far as we know---unless the Holy Spirit would do something different. We'd keep moving on if it'd please the people and everything, just as it seemed to be pleasing to the Lord.
Then, we go from there down to San Diego. From San Diego back up to San Jose. And from there, home for a few days. And then over... As soon as Billy gets out of Sydney, I'm going into New Zealand, and Australia, and Siam, and around the world.

50 All right. Now, from 50 to 100 in B's, let them go right back in the back, and start going back that way, and taking your place.
Now, if anyone here's got one of those prayer cards that's crippled and can't walk, well, let them just be brought right up here and I will come down and pray for them.
Now, let's us who are waiting now, let's just bow our heads. And the organist, if you will give us a little chord of that "Only Believe," will you?
Every one real reverent now as we're making the lines ready, and making everything just in order as we possibly can to make it easy for each person to get into the line---each person to have their place and position.

51 Now, I want each one of us who's not in the line to be reverent, praying quietly. The next few minutes, something will take place. I'm sure that it will. And if He will, if He will come here to the platform and in this audience, and do the same things that He did when He was here on earth, making... proving with the Messiahic sign that He is still the Messiah, then how many will believe it with all their heart? Just raise your hands to Him, say, "Lord, I will. I will believe."
Only believe, only believe,
All things are possible, only believe;
Only believe, only believe,
All things are possible, only believe.
Let's sing it right like this, real sweetly, as we raise up our hands and close our eyes: Now I believe.
Now I believe, (Lord, hear us.) now I believe,
All things are possible, now I believe;
Now I believe, now I believe,
All things are possible, now I believe.
Isn't He wonderful?

52 Now, we're going to start the prayer line just in a moment. Now, I want to ask you, this great host of people that's lined up along the side. There's no doubt but what many of you are acquainted with the ministry that the Lord Jesus gave me. As I tried to explain it last night, that I ... used to be, when the first vision broke, I could not stop those visions; they just kept coming. That's a criticism. I didn't pray for enough people.
My ministry does not mean praying for a group of people, laying hands on people. My ministry... The sign is not that I should lay hands on people; it's for you to believe the Lord Jesus is present and accept it that way. See, I love it that way. If I lay hands on someone and they get well, somebody might say, "You know, Brother Branham laid his hands on me." Really, that didn't have nothing to do with it. I'd rather somebody else would lay their hands on you out there. Jesus is the hands that you're expecting to be on there. So I have nothing to do with it, see.
And if I could just carry my ministry in America like I can overseas. I can have them bring two or three people to the platform, and those things can take place, and honestly, there'll be from twenty to thirty thousand people healed at that one time.

53 I've got the man's name here, the governor something of the island I was just on, when he said, "That's the way we wanted it here." Said, "A evangelist comes and lays hands on the sick. Then when he leaves," said, "looks like God leaves. But," said, "on your ministry, Brother Branham, you had us ... let us know that God's with us too. We lay our hands on one another."
See, I just get them---the people---up there, and I'd say, "Now, I can't even speak your language. Now, if the Holy Spirit will reveal to me something here that you know I know nothing of, will you believe it?"
"Yes," they'd believe it.
And then the Holy Spirit come and reveal that, maybe go out in the audience and pick up a person like that. Oh, my. That's all it takes. They just leave their wheelchairs, cots, stretchers and everything. That settles it.

54 I say, "Lay your hands on one another, and let's... Don't you pray for yourself now; you pray for the one that you've got your hands on; they'll be praying back for you." The Bible said, "They shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover." Who? William Branham? No, the believer: "He that believeth." So you are a believer. You've got a right to hands on somebody, just recognizing the presence of Christ.
Now, we will run this long line again tonight. And maybe one night this week, I will go back and catch over the old line again, and just bring some fundamental facts on that, that you can see from the Scriptures that Christ died for you, and it's your faith that makes you well. God bless you, my dear friend.

55 I see they're still trying to get them all in line back there, so I'm waiting just a few minutes to see if they still got them lined up.
Now, let's bow our heads just a moment now while we make ready. Sit reverent now, waiting, each one now, waiting on the Holy Spirit.
Now, you that's in the prayer line, if you've got any unconfessed sin in your life, just be it known unto you that God will never heal you as long as you got unconfessed sin in your life.
And that's why I take that line real slow, the old line, for the Holy Spirit would reveal to me. And all you are witness of that, how sins has been called out of people, told them, and this woman here in adultery with this man sitting up here. You know how those things has been. And that's the reason I comb the case real close, before I try to pray a prayer of faith for them. Because what if God let the devil put that sickness on them to bring them to discipline, and here I come around with a divine gift with faith and took it off of them? See, I'm in trouble with God, like Moses who smote the rock instead of speaking to it.

56 Now, see what trouble you get into? So now remember, tonight I'm just praying, laying hands on the sick. If Christ will come and manifest Hisself here now, and if I feel down along the line that He wants me to stop with somebody, I will do that. But otherwise, I'm just going to start praying for the sick and just letting it go at that.
Now, and if you got unconfessed sin, remember, be it known unto you, I'm not responsible. I'm putting it right back in your lap now. If you got unconfessed sin, you walk right out of the line, and make that right with God before you come through this line. And the Lord will bless you for that if you'd be that sincere. But if you're prayed up, all right.
Now, let us all pray. Lord, with our heads bowed, just now it's got to be known that Your Scripture's the truth, and I've told the truth of it; or either, I am wrong and a false prophet; or Your Scripture has misled us. Now, Lord, we know that that's not so. We know that Your Scriptures are truth. But now, we have spoke and read of Your promises. The thing is now, is it so? Are You alive? Are You here? Do you keep Your promise, Lord? Oh, I feel sacrilegious to even in prayer make such a statement. Lord, You do keep Your promise, every one of them, truly. It's our unbelief that separates us from Your promises.
Now, I pray, Lord, that if You'll manifest Yourself tonight before the people, I ask that You'll take all the unbelief away from them, and this might be the greatest night of healing that this Temple has witnessed since the days of its founder. Grant it, Lord. I pray this prayer for the glory of God in these last troublesome days, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

57 Now, I guess... [Brother Branham speaks aside to a brother.] There's many missing out of the line. My son said there was many, many missing out of the line. Anybody's got prayer card B 1 to 100, take your place in the line. You're at liberty to do it. B 1 to 100. All right.
All right. You just stand right there by that microphone, if you will, lady.

58 Now, just before... And I want everyone reverent. And how many out there will pledge they'll be praying for these people? This is somebody's mother, somebody's dad, somebody's daughter, son. Get her a chair. Let her sit in a chair. The lady's so weak she can't stand up.
Now, being that she is weak and the first person in the line, I'm going to talk to her just a moment. Now, sister, I know you're bound to be sick, or you wouldn't be standing there like that. So, if I walked over to you and said, "I'm going to put my hands on you. Praise God, you're going to get well." You should believe that, because it's the gospel truth that we have that promise. But you would wonder then if that's the words of Brother Branham, or if that was the words of the Lord Jesus.
Now, but if He will come here, and would reveal to me what's you're here for. We're strangers to each strangers to each other, I suppose. If that's right, would you just raise up your hand, or can you? All right. This is our first meeting time.

59 Now, the audience can see that. I do not know the woman, have never seen her in my life, and this is our first meeting time. Now, if Jesus will do... Here's a man and a woman, Saint John 4 again, just to start with. If the Lord Jesus will tell me something about this woman, something that she has done, something that she ought to have done, or something that's wrong with her, something that she knows that I don't know---let her be the judge whether it's truth or not---how many of you will believe that it comes from Jesus Christ according to His promise?
Now here we are both, and here's the Scripture, the Bible, on the sacred desk. We know not each other. And then if He will do that...
Now, usually, I just take one by one, right down... By the time I get to seven or eight, I'm so weak I can't hardly stand here. So that way, why, I let one, and then go ahead till I get built back up again, and then maybe stop another, and then go ahead, and just keep on. But the same Holy Spirit is here that... He's bound to be here somewhere, He couldn't do that. Is that right? He's got to be. So, the people in America rally to put their ... to lay hands on them. So that's all right.

60 Now, may the Lord grant it, sister. I'm just going to talk to you like our Lord did the woman at the well. And this is our first time of meeting. We don't know each other. But I pray that God will reveal to me what's your trouble, and you be the judge.
The lady is suffering... She's tremendously nervous, right at the near of a breakdown. That's true, isn't it? Now, she doesn't look it in her face. A nervous person's usually skinny.
You might say, "Brother Branham, you guessed that." All right. Just to take every scruple from you now, let's talk to her again. Be real reverent.
Now, I don't know now what He told you was wrong, but whatever it was is the truth. You're the witness. Yes, I see her shaking, trying to hold something, dropping it. It's nervous condition. That's right. A nervous condition. And then you have a... You have complications; just many things is wrong with you. And you've got a trouble in the inside of you, a tumor. And that tumor is in the bowels. That's right, up for a operation.
Now, something's happened, and you know it has. So, now you can go home and be well. You can walk off of the platform now and go home.

61 Now, do you believe with all your heart? See, just that poor thing's faith healed her. Now, we thank the Lord for that. All right. Now, do you believe He's here? Now, have faith, don't doubt. Just believe all things being possible now. Get your position, sit still, be real quiet, and pray.
You come, sir. Lord Jesus, I bless this my brother in prayer, and may he be healed in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Merciful God, I pray that in Jesus' name that You'll bless this sister.
Lord God, Creator of heavens and earth, I ask You to bless and heal this my brother. Just go eat now; it's done left you, your stomach trouble, the arthritis also; just keep moving. Have faith now, believe with all your heart.
O Lord God, Creator of heavens and earth, bless our sister and heal her, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen.
Come, sir. Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ, bless this our brother and heal him. Amen.
O Lord, bless our sister and make her well, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Lord, I pray that You'll bless sister, and make her well, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. Don't doubt now, sister. If you don't doubt, you can be healed.

62 Come right... Lord, I pray that You'll heal this dear sister and make her well, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Lord, I pray that in the name of Jesus Christ that You'll heal this our sister. Amen. God bless you, sister.
Do you believe with all your heart? Do you believe that Jesus Christ the Son of God is near? O Lord, I pray that in the name of Jesus Christ that You'll heal our sister and make her well. Amen.
Just a moment. Something happened in the audience. A different woman from this... The woman sitting there with the little white flower on her dress, that's got heart trouble, if you believe with all your heart, Jesus Christ makes you well. You can go home and be well. Amen.
Do you believe, lady? Do you believe me to be His servant? If God would reveal to me what you're here for, would you believe me with all your heart? You're suffering with a nervous trouble for one thing. You have kidney trouble for another thing. That's right, isn't it? And you're fixing to go for an operation. That's on your foot; it's a growth in your foot. That's right. If God will tell be what your name is, will you believe me all, believe it won't have be necessary to do that? All right, Ruth, you go home and get well. Jesus Christ makes you well.

63 Well, you believe that old diabetes would leave you when you get well, uncle? Go on your road and rejoice, and say. "Thank You, Lord." God bless you.
O Lord, bless my brother and heal him in the name of Jesus Christ.
Come, sister. Lord God, heal this back trouble with her, and make her well in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Come. You going to believe now it's going to make it well? Lord, I pray that You'll bless and heal [unclear words] in Jesus Christ's name. Amen.
Are you going to believe, brother? Come here. Upon the authority of God's Word, the power of this holy church praying, all of us together in the presence of Jesus Christ who's here, you'll have to get well, if you'll half-way believe it. Lord, I lay my hands upon the man in commemoration of Thy Word, in Jesus Christ's name. Amen. Bless you, brother.

64 Come, brother. Lord God, bless our dear brother. And as I lay hands on him, may he never be crippled up with this demon. I pray in Jesus' name. Amen. God bless you, brother.
Come, sister dear. You believing? Look at the people praying for you, hundreds and hundreds of prayers going for you right now. The Son of God, the Spirit of the Holy Ghost, right here moving in among us... Lord, I pray that You'll heal her and make her well, in Jesus' name. Amen.
God, I pray that You'll bless our brother and make him well, in Jesus' name. Amen.
Come, little lady. You believe if God can tell me what's wrong with you, it'd help you? All right. It's female trouble. So... That's right, isn't it? Well, just go on, you're healed. Amen. God bless you.
Lord Jesus, I pray that You'll heal this little lady and make her well, in Jesus' name.
Come, sister. Do you believe that God knows all about you? You believe that... You believe that God could reveal to me what your trouble is? You believe you wouldn't have to have that operation then? The old gall stones and things'd leave you, and you go home and be well? You believe that? You believe that eye would get sight again and you'd be all right? You're supposed to be operated on this week sometime. That's right. Let's see, that's Friday. Don't believe it. Go on, get well. Lord Jesus, I pray that You'll heal our sister and make her well, in Jesus' name. Amen.

65 How do you do, little sister. Lord, I lay hands upon this child and ask for her healing, in Jesus' name. Amen.
God bless this, our sister, and heal her, Father, in Jesus' name. Amen.
Lord, I pray for the little baby. Grant, Lord, that this condition will leave the child, in Jesus' name. Amen. Now, you heard the story of little Ricky last night? All right. The baby'd be the same. It's nothing too serious for our Lord. You just believe what I told you now.
Come, sister. O Lord, I pray now as I lay hands upon them, let Your power heal them, Father. This is a blessing that I ask in Jesus' name. Amen.
Come, my sister. Lord, I pray that You'll heal her and make her well through Jesus Christ. Amen. Believe now with all your heart.
Lord, I pray that You'll heal and make well our sister in Jesus Christ's name. Amen.

66 Now, remember, friends. All these people are praying for you. When you go off of here, don't go with that downcast feeling. Walk off here saying, "Thank You, Lord Jesus, for healing me." What more can He do? There's nothing more He can do. If He was standing right here, wearing this suit that He gave me, He could do no more than what He's doing right now, just do something to make you believe that He's present, and He did it. He's already done it. You have to believe it.
Lord, I pray for sister that You'll heal her, in Jesus' name. Amen.
Come, my brother. Father God, I pray that You'll heal my brother, in Jesus' name. Amen.
Lord God, I pray You heal brother, in Jesus' name. Amen.
If they could lay in the shadow of a man called Peter, his shadow (a fisherman, ignorant, unlearned), because they believed that Christ was with him, couldn't you believe when He's manifested Hisself right here with these ministers and these people? Don't you believe it?
Come, let's lay hands on, they'll believe. Lord, in Jesus' name, I pray that You'll heal [unclear words]. Amen. Lord Jesus, I pray that You'll heal our sister, in Jesus' name. Amen.

67 Father God, I lay hands upon sister and pray that You'll heal her. Amen. Lord God, in Jesus' name heal our sister. Amen.
In the name of Jesus Christ, heal our sister, Father. Amen. In the name of Jesus Christ, may our sister be healed. Amen. Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ, heal our sister. Amen. Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ, heal this, our sister. Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ, heal this our sister. Amen. Believe now, sister dear.
Lord, I pray that you'll heal our sister in Jesus Christ's name. Amen. In the name of Jesus Christ, Lord, I pray You heal our sister. Amen. Bless you. Come, brother. In the name of Jesus Christ, Lord, heal our brother. Amen. In the name of Jesus Christ, God, heal our brother. Amen.
Awful nervous, aren't you. Believe that Word you got? He who stilled the calmed sea can still that nervous condition you got. Don't you believe that? Now, you been waiting for a place to start at. Many times you tried to make a start, like put your foot... You're on it now. Keep walking in the name of Jesus Christ and get well.

68 Come, my brother. In the name of Jesus Christ, may he be healed.
The reason I said that to the man, he needed just a little boost. He looked like he wasn't going to catch it, you see.
In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray that You'll heal him. Amen.
Come. Are you going to believe for this child? You going to believe it's going to get better and get well? Lord, I bless this little boy in the name of Jesus Christ. Father, I pray that You'll let him be well, his mother return back and give testimony of his healing. Amen. Now, it's over; just believe it with all your heart.
Father God, I pray that You'll heal this woman in Jesus Christ's name. Amen.
Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ, I pray that You'll heal this...
Come, sister. In the name of Jesus Christ, may our sister be healed. Amen.
Think it'd help you if I told you what was wrong with you? It's in your back. All right. You wanted me to say that. That's right. Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ, may she be healed. Amen.
Come, sister. God, in the name of the Lord Jesus, may our sister be healed. Amen.

69 Now, just remember. When that church is praying, I'm representing all their hands. And as I lay hands on you, that represents hundreds of prayers going for you right now. Just believe it with all your heart. It's a blessing that has to come with their prayers. This church is praying for you; all these people are praying. That blessing has to come on you. I just represent their hands, see.
In the name of Jesus Christ, may our brother be healed. Amen.
You've got to have healing or die, you know that. God, grant that this demon will leave our brother, in Jesus' name. Amen. God bless you, brother.
You've got to have prayer, too, or the arthritis will finally put you down crippled altogether. Lord, I pray that You'll heal her, in Jesus' name. Amen.
O Lord, Creator of heavens and earth, I pray that You'll heal our brother, in Jesus' name.
Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ, heal this our sister. Amen. Bless this little boy, Father; who I bless in Jesus' name. May he be healed. Amen. Bless this sister, Father. I pray in Jesus' name that You'll grant it. Amen.
Lord, Creator of heavens and earth, I bless this, my sister, in Jesus' name. Amen. God, grant it to your request. You believe it; he will get well. You stood for Him, and Christ stood for you.
Lord, in the name of Jesus, grant our sister be made well. Amen.

70 Come, sister. Going to believe now? In the name of Jesus Christ, may our sister be healed.
Father God, in the name of Jesus Christ, may our sister be healed. O Lord, grant in the name of Jesus Christ the healing of our sister. Amen.
You might be thinking those people are not getting that. But there's many of them are being healed. Now, that... I should know, shouldn't I, from here? That's right.

Father God, I pray that You'll heal this our sister. Father God, in the name of Jesus Christ, may this woman be healed. Amen. Father God, in the name of Jesus Christ, may our sister be healed. Amen. In the name of Jesus Christ, may our brother be healed.
God, in the name of Jesus Christ, our sister may be healed. Father God, in the name of Jesus Christ, may our sister be healed. In the name of Jesus Christ, may our sister be healed. Father God, in the name of Jesus Christ, let our sister be healed. Father God, in the name of Jesus Christ, may our sister be healed.

71 Sitting right back here on the end of this seat, sitting there suffering with asthma, do you believe that Jesus Christ will make you well? If you believe it with all your heart, you can have it.
Come. How do you do? For you or the baby? The baby? Why, it's a little bitty tot; it couldn't understand anything that I'd say. What about you, as its mother? You believe that if God would let me know what's wrong with the baby, would it increase your faith? I see the baby shadowed for death, and that's the reason that I wanted to ask you, so that your faith would raise up to believe. If God will reveal to me the trouble with the baby, will you believe that I be His prophet ... or His servant? I watch that word "prophet" before the audience, see.
There's someone who... God is... Not me, I have nothing, just simply an instrument standing here.
I don't know you, never seen you, never seen your baby or nothing. You know that's true. But if God will reveal to me what's wrong with your baby, then you'll believe it, will you? It's a heart trouble. That's right. And the doctors don't think it'll live. But your doctor told you, if the baby'd live to about a year old or a little more, they'd try to operate on it. And you're fighting hard for its life, because you've lost one before this. That's THUS SAITH THE LORD. You believe that if I will lay hands on it, it'll be well? Lord God, Creator of heavens and earth, who spared the life of little Ricky, I condemn the devil that's in this baby. In the name of Jesus Christ, may it live. Now, by faith, I place the blood of Jesus between this heart trouble and the baby, in Jesus Christ's name. Amen. May your baby'll live now. Go on, believe with all your heart.

72 Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ, may the woman be healed. Amen. In the name of Jesus Christ, may the woman be healed.
Come, sister. In the name of Jesus Christ, may the woman be healed. Come, sister. In the name of Jesus Christ, may the woman be healed. In the name of Jesus Christ, may the woman be healed. Come, sister. God bless you, sister. May she be healed, Lord, in the name of Jesus.
Come, believing now, sister, as you approach, not me, but Him now. Approach the High Priest. Dear Father God, I lay hands upon the woman. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, may she be healed. Amen. Now, just believe.
In the name of Jesus Christ, I lay hands [unclear words]. God bless you, brother.
Come now. Dear God, my brother on this crutch tonight, I pray that You'll heal him, and make him well, as I lay hands upon him in Jesus Christ's name. Amen.

73 I pray, God, with all heart that You'll make our sister well, in Jesus' name. Lord God, I pray in Jesus' name that You'll make him well. I pray, Father God, that You'll heal our brother and make him well. Amen. Father God, I pray that in Jesus' name that You'll make her well.
Just a moment. There's something keeps happening here at the platform, that somebody's praying for somebody else out there. I can't find it just at this time. Just keep praying.
Lord, I pray for sister that You'll heal her, in Jesus' name.
Seems it's coming from in here. There's someone praying for someone that's a loved one in a hospital that's got colitis. Have faith and believe it. In the name of Jesus Christ, may they be healed, Lord.
Come, my brother. Lord God, creator of heavens and earth, Author of everlasting life and giver of every good gift, let Thy blessings rest upon our brother. In Jesus' name, may he be healed. Amen.
Are you believing? Everyone believing with all your heart? See, sweetly, reverently, but powerfully, the Holy Spirit's here. Sometimes we get it confused by saying that maybe because we got a blessing of the Lord that that's the power of the Lord. No, that's the blessing of the Lord. The power of the Lord is when He's moving, doing something, manifesting Himself. You believe that?

74 Lady, sitting there with a tumor, praying, you believe that Jesus Christ will make you well? If you believe it, you can have it with all your heart. God bless you, you can go home now and be well.
Out here with the stomach trouble. You believe that God will make you well, sitting out there on the end? You believe it? Then you can go home and have yours.
If you can just only believe, God will do great things for you. Don't you believe that? Certainly. Now, how many of you believe with all your heart that Jesus Christ, the Son of God is sitting ... is in this meeting? See? This is His manifestation.
I want you to lay hands on one another. Just lay your hands on one another now, all you that's sick.
O Lord, the Creator of heavens and earth, the Author of everlasting life, and the giver of every good gift, we're conscious that Your Spirit is here. The people is just breathing down deep in their lungs, for they know the great Holy Spirit is moving around in this building, that light that I'm watching, moving like a pillar of fire hanging into the building. O Christ, they know that You're here, because You're giving forth the same power, the same blessings.
And Satan is trying to hold the people. The only way he can do it is by unbelief. I condemn this unbelief. Satan, you've lost the battle. You're exposed, Satan. Come out of this people. In the name of Jesus Christ, may the devil depart, the devil of unbelief. And may every person here made whole through Jesus Christ's name.

75 Do you believe with all your heart you're healed? If you do, stand on your feet. Regardless of what your trouble, stand on your feet and give God praise. Stand up. That's it.
Give us a chord, "I Will Praise Him," sister, "I Will Praise Him." Come on now, everyone.
I will praise Him.
I will praise Him, I will praise Him,
Praise the Lamb for sinners slain;
Give Him glory all ye people,
For His blood can wash away each stain.
Real high now, let's lift it up and praise Him for what He's done now.
I will praise Him, I will praise Him,
Praise the Lamb for sinners slain...
