1975-07-NOR#5-LV Church Order & Prayer for Sick - Norway-Thu

I'm afraid you all have to go home and pack your suitcases.

I'm going to take you home with me.

Having such a nice time.

It would really be foolish to stop.

So we can continue on the other side of the water.

And I think you would learn to like it.

I'm having a wonderful time with Brother Johansen.

Of course, the way to get into my heart is to just show me that you can see this message in the Word.

And today we sat at the table and he showed me something. That I have not seen in the word myself.

But it's what Brother Branham said.

So he's more than passed the test.

Of what I know the prophet said.

So it's just getting better and better. The Lord bless you Brother Johansen.

And may he use you whatever way he feels he wants to use you.

And I'm sure he will. Now this morning I spoke a little sharply concerning prayer which Brother Branham set forth in a special way in his own life.

I did not mean to suggest that there could not be public prayer because there is public prayer.

The prophet stated on this wise when the church has a great need some great problem has arisen call all the people together

and let them pray sincerely for that problem this is illustrated as when Peter was in jail and all the people came together to pray and God answered What is a little wrong is when people come together just to pray and they pray one at a time. It is then that many different spirits can come into the meeting and some misled person

We'll begin to sort of preach a sermon.

Or tell what's wrong with somebody else.

Or sort of take the floor and the preeminence.

You know that's happened many times.

In order to get away from that.

Let all pray out loud at one time.

Or let them remain silent and pray in their hearts.

The prophet never did endorse even this type of a meeting.

What he would do is the people would come together. They would sing songs. Lift their hearts to the Lord. Then he would preach the word. Then all together they would pray aloud.

Maybe five to ten minutes. Or perhaps a little longer. He told us how to pray.

He said go to your closet and pray.

Do not make it a public display.

He said notice the difference. You will pray different in Travis.

From the way you pray in public.

You just can't help it because you're human.

Notice yourself how you pray in public.

You have to choose your words. You have to express it in a certain way.

And you're thinking of people hearing you.

But when you go to your cross, you stumble around. You stutter.

You just talk to God. In a very broken way.

And you just bare your heart to him.

That's the real kind of prayer. So you see why I spoke this morning.

Not to hurt anybody. But to be right.

How many of us when we pray in public are like the public? He just molded bread publicly.

And he said, God, I'm a sinner.

I'm just not worthy to be here.

He just made himself so lowly before the Lord.

But the Pharisees stood up.

And he had a doctrine to preach.

And he had somebody to condemn.

And he talked how fine he was.

That's not nice.

So you see why the prophet taught us as he did.

Brother Markon that's here with us tonight.

His father lay dying. His father lay dying. Lay dying. His kidneys had lost.

The doctor gave him up to die.

They were not doing one thing further for him.

That night I was to have charges and service.

I asked Brother Perry Green who is the pastor.

If I could just conduct the meeting my own way.

He said that would be just fine.

The Lord had laid on my heart to do as the prophet said.

I could not be this wonderful Christian lying there dying.

He meant a lot to me.

We called him in.

And we prayed for just one thing.

That God would heal me. At nine o 'clock start. The kidneys broke loose.

The urine flowed perfectly clean.

He was healed by the power of God.

This was a very old man. He was in his eighties. He went home to spend the rest of his life.

One morning, Sunday morning, As he was lying in bed. With one foot hanging over the side.

I think about 5 .30 it was.

His daughter came by.

And said, Pop,

would you like a cup of tea? And he said, yes, I would. She went to get it.

And when she came back. Like Jacob of old. He had drawn his legs up on the bed.

He went home with the Lord.

The doctor came and looked at him. That he did not die from any disease.

God took him home.

We have had case after case.

When great problems have arisen. We call the people. With one mind they call upon God.

And God hears from heaven. And as in days of old. He opens a prison gate.

He cuts the iron bars asunder.

The power of his word shines through.

God answers our prayers. This is why I talked to you this morning.

I trust you understand. A word to the wise is sufficient. A word to the wise is sufficient.

This is the end time day of spiritual wisdom.

Let us do what the vindicated prophet said.

It will be exactly right.

Because God spoke back to the prophet's word.

Oh what a mighty word was there.

We can obey it without fear.

I wish to speak tonight upon the resurrection. I am doing this with a very special purpose in mind. I want to raise your faith.

And to bring out some doctrines. And then to pray to the sick.

Shall we bow our heads in prayer. Gracious Heavenly Father. We know that you are here. For we have met together in thy name.

And you are in the midst of us. By way of indwelling us. We have faith in thee tonight Lord.

By the revealed word.

We ask you now to glorify thy name amongst us.

By further revealing your word.

And making us right at home with your word.

With your word abiding in us.

And we very content with it.

And we're reaching out for more.

For we need our daily bread. And Lord let the children's bread be amongst us.

That we might be healed of every disorder.

May this be a great night for your glory.

May it be full of rich lessons for us.

We desire this to please thee more.

So we ask it in Jesus' name. Amen.

Just two verses of scripture in Matthew chapter 28.

5 and 6. 28.

The fifth and sixth verse. But the angel took to the word and said to the women, Do not be afraid. I know that you are seeking Jesus, the short -tested. He is not here. He is up there. As he said, Come and see the place where he was. My message is entitled, He is risen.

And it is taken from the sixth verse where the angel proclaims to the women concerning Jesus Christ who was crucified.

He is risen. This Christ went forth when Jesus came out of the tomb. It is the story of a resurrected man.

Because Jesus was a man. He triumphed over death and rose in an immortal body.

As the scripture says, for since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

But this does not complete the story.

There is much more to it than this.

For this becomes the doctrine of Ephesians 1, 19 to 23.

19

to 23. As he showed to Christ, when he woke him from the dead, and said to him with his right hand in heaven, Over a world of power and authority, and wealth and glory, and a world's name that is mentioned, not only in this world, but also in the future. And he laid everything under his feet, and gave him as the head over all things to the community, which is his plaything.

These verses not only speak of his resurrection, which is a man restored to life, but it tells us that the same resurrection power is to be manifested in a bride's church.

And one day it will actually produce a physical resurrected bride.

It also shows us that whatever comes forth in that bride church

is because of and a testimony to God's resurrection power.

But this manifestation will always be one with the word.

Because this resurrection is according to the word.

And it is actually the word of God come to pass.

So I want to repeat. Whatever comes forth in this bride church.

Is because of and a testimony to God's resurrection power in that church. And because the resurrection is actually the word of God manifested.

Because the word tells about it. And it came to pass just like the word said.

Then this resurrection power must always be in accordance with the revealed word in the bride.

You will shortly see why I make this statement.

And I must hold to it.

Now notice the first witness to his resurrection in the church.

It is found in the book of Acts chapter 2.

And we will read. Verses 14 to 18.

Then also verses 22 to 24. Also verses 22 to 24. 14

to 18.

This is what is important. And lend your ear to my words. For you are not drunk, as you think. It is only the third hour of the day. But this is what is said by the prophet Joel. And it will happen on the last day, says God. Then I will spread my grace over all the people. And their sons and their daughters will speak prophetic words. And their young men shall see visions, and their old men shall have dreams.

And so it was said, Israelite men, hear these words. Jesus from Nazareth, a man, there was an outpouring of grace from God, with powerful hearts and wonders and signs, which God made over him in the midst of grace. So it is as we know it. He who was for us after God's final advice and foreboding, he hit him in the head, in which he was nailed to the cross by unjust hands. But God raised him in which he lifted the veil of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it. On the day of Pentecost the Holy Spirit descended.

Those in the upper room were filled with the Holy Ghost.

They began to speak with other tongues as the Spirit gave them languages to utter.

They came down from the upper room and overflowed into the streets.

There they prophesied and spoke in tongues.

The Holy Ghost had quickened them.

They were so quickened they could not speak their own language.

They were given other tongues. But the people did not understand who heard them.

And they said these people are full of new wine. They are drunken. They are acting very foolish.

What is this all about anyway?

And Peter said this manifestation is a witness to the resurrection.

You will find that in the verses 22 to 24.

For Peter speaks of his resurrection.

He said you crucified and killed the Lord Jesus Christ.

But he couldn't be held by this.

And God raised him up. And the Holy Ghost was born. And these tongues are a witness to the resurrection.

This is the most hated witness to the resurrection there is.

As they hated it as the day of Pentecost they hate it now.

The Pentecost the people have been hated for many years.

They have been hated because they spoke in tongues.

But tongues is a witness to the resurrection.

I do not say it is the evidence of the baptism with the Holy Ghost.

But I say it is a witness to the resurrection.

The Gentile church age came in with tongues.

There the handwriting was upon the wall.

Many, many tickle your farsen.

The end time the Gentile age goes out the same way. At the end time the Gentile age goes out the same way.

It is going out with the proliferation or multiplication of tongues.

Tongues are known all around the world now.

The charismatic people believe it is the evidence of the Holy Ghost.

It is not the evidence of the baptism of the Holy Ghost.

But it is a witness to the resurrection.

It is a witness to the fact the resurrection is at the door.

Because the resurrection comes at the end of the times of the Gentiles.

People everywhere are speaking in tongues.

Recently 10 ,000 went to the Vatican.

They went under Cardinal Søyner. They went under the leadership of Cardinal Søyner.

The Pope embraced him affectionately.

The people thronged the great basilica speaking in tongues.

And they were prophesied. Many people therefore believe this is the evidence of the baptism.

But it is a witness to the resurrection.

And that is a great difference.

Anyone may speak in tongues.

Peter already warned them.

Notice what it says in verse 17.

It shall come to pass in the last days, said God, I will pour my spirit upon all flesh.

And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy and your young men shall see visions and your old men shall dream dreams and on my men servants and on my men servants and on my men servants And my handmaidens. I will pour out of my spirit in those days.

And they shall prophesy. He said your sons and daughters.

And my sons and daughters. Will be doing the same thing. So anybody can have an anointing. Anybody can speak in tongues.

Anybody can prophesy. But the difference is. One will be with the word. And one will not be with the word. Let me show you. For it says in verse 16.

This is that which is spoken by the prophet Joel.

he said this witness to the resurrection this manifestation of the Holy Ghost is the word of God in evidence but there's going to come a time When anybody can prophesy. Anybody can speak in tongues. And be outside the word of God.

There is a big difference my brother and sister.

Now let us view the situation today.

Brother Branham a prophet of God.

Brought us church orders.

he set the church in order and he said the word of God distinctly teaches that if you want to have the Holy Spirit manifesting in gifts

You must put the gift under church authority which is to have another room adjoining the church whereby you will come together and there you will speak in your tongue one at a time. Then it will be interpreted. And you may prophesy. And one by one through judgment.

These gifts may come forth.

They will be judged through discerning of spirit.

What is judged to be of God?

will be written down on a piece of paper and handed to the pastor.

And the pastor will read it to the congregation.

Then the people must wait and see if what was prophesied comes to pass.

Now you'll notice that he said tongues and interpretation is the same as prophecy.

Now many people do not want this but this is what the prophet taught.

Now notice something here. Most of our preachers have tried this.

They have put the little room to one side.

The people have gone in there. And nothing happened. Now then some of the preachers thought.

We will bring it back in the house here.

And their statement is this.

If it doesn't work in there. But it does work out here. Then thank God it works. Let us have it.

Now remember what I said the other night.

And I do not wish to mention names. But Brother Branham did. So I also will mention it. One day Brother Oral Roberts.

Put Brother Branham aside.

And he said, Brother Branham, don't preach the way you preach.

Don't ball those women out because they cut their hair.

Don't tell them it's wrong to dress in shorts and flats and things.

Because you're ruining your ministry with the public.

And Brother Branham told Brother Robert this.

Any man's ministry that can be ruined by the word had better be ruined.

Listen to me. This is the word of the prophet who had the greatest ministry since the time of Jesus Christ.

He who had thus, says the Lord, said concerning himself,

If my ministry gets ruined by the word of God, let it be ruined.

Now, Brother Branham absolutely stated that Matthew 24, 24 is the word of warning for this hour.

these men would come with genuine manifestations absolute true tongues absolute true prophecies

And they'd be off the word.

And they would deceive. I said would deceive. Not maybe. Not maybe.

But they would deceive. They had the power to do it. And they're doing it. And they will do it. Blind leaders are blind. Both falling into this.

Now he said they fool everybody but the elect.

They would be operating spiritual gifts and a true witness to the resurrection.

Apart from the word.

Now. We put the gifts in the back room.

And it seems as though they've done it.

Now I want to show you something right here. I have been strangely puzzled about this for a long time.

I have felt that something was definitely wrong.

And I believe the Lord has showed me what it is.

You may take it for what it is worth.

But I want you to go back to what Brother Branham said.

And every time he talked about this he illustrated it.

He said let us say we go to the little room.

And somebody rises and prophesies.

And says Sister Brown your house is located by the railway track.

The train is going to be derailed tonight.

It is going to hit your house.

You will be killed. Leave your house. And do not go back. And the men in the church, the men in the little room judged this as a true prophecy.

They write it down. They bring it to the pulpit. The pastor reads it.

Now they'll wait and see what happens. Sister Brown's house gets hit by the train.

She has escaped. He illustrates it again.

Brother Jones. You want to be healed. There is a certain sin in your life. This is what that sin is.

Make that sin right and God will heal you.

And the man knows there is that sin there.

And he knows that nobody else knew it.

He makes the sin right.

And he is healed. Another message could come forth. Our church lacks a revival.

Because certain things are wrong. Those things are named.

The people involved are named.

it's brought before the church and they confess it and God begins to bless I hope you caught something this is the age of brotherly kindness

Therefore we are trying to help our brethren.

We are interested in their goods.

We are constantly looking to see whereby we can do some good.

We are looking for burdens to lift.

For crooked ways to remain straight. To encourage people to come near to God.

To lift up the fallen.

No matter what that person does.

The person may make us angry.

We may be very prickly toward each other like cockle birds. We can be against each other. But let something happen to that person.

And right away you know in your heart that you just got to do something that you can.

That is the spirit manifesting in this hour.

That is the honey of the Holy Ghost in this hour.

That is what causes this word to manifest in this hour.

Now you can see where I'm taking you.

It is that we must have this spirit amongst us.

And when we really do.

And we've actually got it now.

All we've got to do is to use it.

To demand of ourselves we love each other. To demand of ourselves. And begin to do it. Then that sweet spirit being there.

Of wanting to help our brethren.

And Sister Brown needs help.

She could be killed without it. And that spirit rises up in us.

And it says, Sister, leave your house or you'll die.

And that same spirit rises up in us. And it says, Brother, don't flee for your life from that sin.

It isn't condemnation. It is edification. It is to help our brothers and sisters. And when that sweet spirit speaks among us.

Then we'll see these things work. But as long as there's competition amongst us.

As long as we're finding fault.

As long as we refuse the essence of the Holy Spirit to work in us.

How can we have it? So I say tonight my brothers and sisters. See what God will do. Not by your constant training. That won't do it.

But by listening to the prophet's word. And stay with him. I will love my brother. I will love my brother. I will even love my enemies. And if they draw a circle and put me out.

I will draw a bigger circle and draw them in. I will never shut the door. I will always have a point of contact. I will do it because God said I could. I believe you'll start to see something happen.

Let me warn you, my brother and my sister. I don't care who the preacher has been you've been listening to, if you have anything.

I don't care who said he heard the prophet.

And I care not who said he counseled with the prophet.

The prophet put church order under the seventh seal.

Then we will not have the gifts on the floor here even though they were.

For the gifts on the floor become competitive with the ministry of the word of the messenger.

For the pastors But these gifts are not to be competitive.

They ought to be complimentary and supplementary.

And they'll never be that way unless under church orders. Now we can do this if we want.

You tell me I cannot help my brother?

No matter what he's done? I can. I got in my own heart not too long ago.

And there was a brother with whom I had a tremendous difference.

I must admit I do not have great respect.

Because of certain things. But he got into real deep trouble.

It was a physical one.

And I knew I would go to him. I would take over his entire burden. And I would say to him. Place everything into my hands. Bar nothing I must take it all.

And I will hand it back to you in better shape than when you left it. And I knew it.

I knew I would do it.

It never came to that necessity. But let me know this one thing. I don't have to wait that long. I don't have to have a crisis.

I can live in the Holy Spirit now.

Because the honey in the rock box

In the box made of rock.

Which Sister Shepherd had in her vision.

And it's in the sermon called Blasphemous Name.

Without that honey poured in.

This end time message was a violent stream of water.

A violent stream of water.

That could stir up only the dirt and debris amongst us.

But pouring the honey.

Of brotherly kindness and love.

The water would pour out over our feet.

Cool and clear as five crystal streams of grace.

That our walk might be beautiful.

And the things of God amongst us.

And a mighty witness to his resurrection.

That Christ is risen and lives among us.

I wonder if this is too simple to believe and obey.

Or are we still in some, we want some sensation, some great thing?

We have already had the great thing, my brother, my sister.

God has answered back to the prophet's voice.

And this is what he said. Now I must say this. that I know what I have just said could be very contrary to some of you people thinking who are sitting here.

It could be contrary to some men that you have heard.

if I have told you a lie if I am one little word off of what the prophet said you are truly bound to tell me but I know I am not because I have told you exactly what the prophet said

Then let us do it.

Because he is risen. And he wants to witness amongst us.

That power is to us who believe at this moment.

And it's the resurrection power of Jesus Christ.

What a tragic thing it is.

That God is witnessing out there in the world.

In the world council of churches.

Amongst the higher religions.

And God's people will not listen to his word sufficiently.

you have this witness amongst us for the prophet told us you have that right spirit which is to lift up and help each other pray for each other longing for each other and with compassion How would sweep over it?

And there would be a continuity of the manifestation of the things that come.

Let us look at the second witness.

Acts chapter 3 verses 9 to 16.

And the whole people saw him go around and pray to God. And they felt that he was the one who sat there at the temple door to receive alms. And they were full of wonder and doubt about what had happened to him. While he was now holding on to Peter and John,

Abraham said, Isaac said, Jacob said, Our Lord God has made his own Jesus, the one you see for us, and the one for Pilate, when he was condemned to be released. But you have redeemed the holy and righteous, and asked that a murder must be given to you. But the birth of life is in him whom God raised from the dead, whom we are witnesses of.

A wonderful miracle has taken place. A man born crippled. Something missing from his limbs.

has been wonderfully healed. And he grasped Peter and John.

He held on hard. He wouldn't let go. I like that. How many people held Brother Branham real hard?

They let him go. They shouldn't have done it. Now this man stands here healed.

And people know what he was like before.

And they're very curious how did it happen.

Because they heard Peter say silver and gold have enough but such as we have we give unto you.

And they said to themselves I wonder what this fellow has.

and Peter caught it by the spirit and he said don't look at us as though it's any holiness of ours or any power he said what it is is this you crucified and killed the Lord Jesus but God raised him from the dead

And this is the witness to his resurrection.

This shows that he is alive. That he has come back amongst us. By the Holy Spirit. And these things are being done. What a tremendous witness it was.

Now remember this is not the evidence of the baptism with the Holy Ghost.

It's the evidence or it's the witness to the resurrection.

Now remember what I quoted a while ago in the second chapter.

Your sons and my sons would be doing the very same thing. But in one place it was the word of God in manifestation.

The same as the resurrection was the word of God in manifestation.

1946 the angel of God appeared to brother Branham and he said I have come to the presence of the Lord to bring you gifts and healing to take to the world.

And Brother Branham said. We have had a healing revival since that time.

And it has not decreased but increased.

Now listen. There are many types of healing. But they all come from God. Because the scripture says I am the Lord that healeth thee.

And healing always comes through life.

The doctor can give you. You are like God. The doctor can give you a shot of penicillin.

It does not heal you. It kills the disease. But it doesn't heal. Your body must heal you. As Brother Branham said. The poison will kill the rat.

But it won't fill in the rat hole.

So there's been a healing revival in the world.

And God has been doing the healing. But you can go to a witch doctor and be healed. You can go to a spiritist and be healed. You can go to a hypnotist and be healed.

You can go to a mentalist and be healed.

Or an extra -sensory perception also can help you. Extra -sensory perception can also help you.

There's a man in the United States.

He's up in years now. and his ministry of healing though he does not pray in Jesus name is so great and so proven

That though he was fought by the American Medical Association. And he was taken to court by them.

But the very jury had been healed by his ministry.

And?

And the judge had been healed by his ministry.

And the county attorney had been healed. The county attorney. The county prosecutor.

So they kicked the case out of court. They threw the case out of court.

Now his record is tremendous.

there is even this case on record that a woman lay crippled and dying and no help for her and this man did not even go to her

He simply got on the telephone and a nurse in the room pointed the receiver at the woman and the person would heal.

There is no limit to healing going on today.

What would you think of this?

In the Notre Dame University.

In the United States. Which is a great Roman Catholic University.

There is a Reverend O 'Connor.

And a theologian by the name of Miss Ford.

And they believe very strongly in healing.

And in the charismatic gifts.

But even though they do speak in tongues. And though they do pray for the sick. And the sick are healed. And the prophecies are correct.

They still recognize the Pope as the supreme authority.

They pray to the Virgin Mary.

They use their beads. Use their beads to pray on. They endorse all the creeds and tenets of the church.

But listen to this outstanding miracle.

A couple of wild young drivers drove their car to the university campus and struck two young men.

One young man was killed outright.

The other lay there broken in body.

The young brethren on the campus came over right now and prayed for them.

The one that was dead rose up perfectly healed.

The other whose legs had been broken and was not in such serious condition lay there cursing madly.

They prayed for him. He grew stiff as a poker. He grew stiff as a board.

And like his heels dug in.

He rose up straight like that. He rose up straight like that. And went away healed. Wonderful miracles. Yet they still acknowledge the hope.

They pray to the Virgin Mary. They are absolutely outside the word. Now what is it all about? It's what Brother Branham said.

He said that his ministry which was the great vindicated word of the hour

was vindicated by Christ proving that he was risen and was amongst us now. It's a witness to the resurrection.

But remember what he had in his ministry was based on the fact of God speaking back to his word.

Which was thus kept thour.

Nobody else had it. How often he would stand before the people.

He would say Jesus Christ is risen from the dead.

And he is a monster. And he would say we'll ask him to come.

And manifest himself.

We don't know if he will. But we'll ask him if he will. He would wait just a moment.

And then he would say he is here.

He would turn to that audience.

And then he would say to them. I take every spirit in this building.

Under my control. In the name of Jesus Christ. To the glory of God. And there wasn't one person who could have. Now listen to me. This ministry of William Branham according to Luke 17, 26 was an exact repeat of the ministry of Jesus Christ.

And this was to come right before the second coming.

and there cannot be a second physical coming outside of a resurrection for the husbandman waited for the precious fruit of the earth and this means the body to come out of the ground

And he cannot have it until the former and the latter reign.

The former reign is the word of God reaped on.

And the mighty miracle ministry is the confirmation this is the word.

And what's this all about?

The resurrection. So the witnesses to the resurrection are every hand.

Millions of healings are taking place.

And it is not the evidence of the baptism with the Holy Ghost.

Everywhere you hear this word.

If it takes the Holy Ghost to manifest this way and we have the manifestation then we have the Holy Spirit and we are baptized with the Holy Ghost and we are children of God. And we will be in the resurrection.

And we will go in the rapture. But the Bible doesn't say that.

That's a human conclusion.

The Bible says at the end time.

There should be false prophets among us.

What is a false prophet? He's a man that says opposite to the word of God that's been vindicated.

And he does mighty signs and wonders.

Because he's anointed just like God's name would be.

I hope you understand.

Brother, sister, the resurrection is just around the corner.

And the people don't know.

They think they have the baptism with the Holy Ghost. They think they are sealed into Christ.

Can you not see where the error is?

Can you not see the strong delusion that God sends?

For God did send the Holy Spirit as anointing.

But remember this. All things are made by him who is Holy Spirit.

And all things are maintained by him who is Holy Spirit.

But that's not eternal life, my brother, my sister. That's just being maintained.

And who is this one that's made and maintained?

The Word. Then where is eternal life? It is only in that Word.

Remember wicked men are ordained to this condemnation.

I want to ask you, who ordained them?

There is only one who could ordain them. When God raised up Moses, who else did he raise up?

Janus and Jambus.

When Moses prophesied and had the pillar of iron,

Who withstood a genuine prophecy that still lives today? Who withstood a genuine prophecy that still lives today?

Balaam. He led them into sin. And he died in battle fighting them.

And it is said he took the wages of divination.

Balaam took the wages of divination. He could put his hand in the hand of God and receive a mighty revelation.

And he could reach out to the powers of darkness and receive a revelation.

And he took the genuine gift of God and made merchandise by it.

Now let's stop right here. What program did William Branham have?

What money did he take?

None. Bearish living.

He turned down one million and a half dollars at one time.

But what about these other men that don't believe the word?

With great miracle ministry.

They have a golden calf program.

And it's money, money, money, money.

And every little gimmick they can use or every little thing they can use to get your attention for money, they use it.

One man sends anointed pocketbook.

Another gold -plated needle.

Another goes to Jerusalem. And lies in the tomb of Jesus.

And I think he lies about that too.

Because he says I'm praying for you.

Because he doesn't even know me. How do you know how to pray?

On every hand my brother and my sister.

You can see there are two sides.

There is one righteous blessed Holy Spirit.

And because God said so. The Holy Spirit like today.

Is blinding eyes.

Great delusion has come.

The people are deceived.

Because they turned down the word.

Where are we going here? Should we stay with this word and trust God?

Or shall we join the excitement?

Notice in Acts 4 and 33 that with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.

This has never ceased. Grace is still with us.

It was given from before the foundation of the world.

And shall be eternal. And we have the witness of the resurrection.

Because of this grace. and that's the first chapter verse 8 it says we shall receive power after the Holy Ghost has come and we will be witnesses what witnesses witnessing to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ this witness shall never cease until Jesus Christ takes us away

Jesus stood at the grave of Lazarus Martha was concerned she said my brother is dead but if you had been here he had not died but even now there is perhaps a hope that you can do something

And he said, Mary, your brother is going to rise again.

She said, yes, I know of the resurrection.

Somewhere down the road.

But at that time he said, I am the resurrection and the life. Now listen to me. This man was not simply dead.

His face had fallen in.

He was decomposing. This was a genuine resurrection unto mortal life. Not immortal life, but mortal life.

And he said, I am that resurrection.

And he's proving it right at this hour that he is the resurrection.

that he is among us and we shall not die but live because he is the resurrection and we are alive and we shall not die we shall not come from the dust but our dust shall be changed because he is here Because he is here. And he's proving it amongst us. And he's proving it around the world. Day by day by thousands of miracles.

He is alive tonight. And he wants to heal you and me. That's why he's here. As a witness to the end time.

And this is resurrection hour.

Never forget Mark 16, 15 to 20. Don't read it. Don't read it.

It is in effect today. It is a perfect possession and legacy of Christ to the bride. It is a purchased possession.

And legacy of Christ to the bride.

This book did not die with Jesus.

It did not die with the apostles. And it did not die with William Branham. As the four beasts guard the throne. As the four beasts guard the throne. The living creatures guard the throne.

So do the four gospels guard the book of Acts. The four gospels guard the book of Acts.

For whatever he did in those four gospels.

It's guaranteed to us now. Because he's the same yesterday and today and forever.

And the prophet's message by vindication proved it.

He healed a man at the well.

He raised the widow's son.

He broke the bed and fishes and mother planted.

It's not hard to believe that by the words of the prophet the fish came to life.

Five people were raised from the dead.

The little dead boy in Finland was raised from the dead. Brother Wade was raised from the dead. Mary in Connecticut was raised from the dead.

And his words spoke into existence squirrels to time.

Now if he was God, very God. If he was God, very God. If Jesus was God, very God.

Because Jesus means Joshua.

And Joshua means Jehovah Savior.

And there's only one Savior who is God.

Who is Holy Spirit. And he does not change. Then he will do what only God can do.

According to his word. And he's done it in our midst. Proving he's the same yesterday, today and forever. And he's risen from the dead. That we shall soon rise with him.

Because the same spirit involves us.

Notice also in Acts 17 and 31.

17 and 31.

It says that God is going to judge the dead.

And he has given assurance he will do so by the fact that he raised Jesus from the dead.

Now what does that really mean to us? We can understand it very simply. How does anybody judge? How does the judge judge? There has to be some word that he goes by.

So when the person is judged there has to be some word there.

Now if he's going to judge the world by Jesus who is alive there is only one meaning to this verse. And that is that Jesus who is the judge is guaranteeing the force and effect of that word right now.

Supposing I was called into court.

The policeman said I had made a wrong turn down the road.

Because that sign has been there for many years.

And he did not know that the city council had taken down.

Because they had taken out that law.

I go before the judge.

And the judge says what is this man here for?

And the preacher said he made a wrong turn down at the corner of that tree.

And the judge says what was posted there?

And he said a sign that said you must stop and not turn left.

So the judge goes to his book and he said, I'm sorry, but that sign was taken down. The law was removed.

You have falsely arrested this man.

And therefore you are in danger. But not this man. He must let me go. Now apply the same thing to Christ.

If his word is not in continuous effect.

Then he cannot judge by it.

But the fact that he can judge proves that the word is in fact.

Now, Brother Branham... said this Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever and we will prove tonight that he is risen from the dead and his word is in effect this

And that it never changes. And you can receive the promise right now.

And he read men and women's hearts.

And God backed his word up.

And the witness of the resurrection was amongst us.

According to the word.

Brothers and sisters. That has not changed. Christ is here right tonight. He has not left us. The word of promise is in effect right now.

One of those promises is I am the Lord that healeth you.

There is healing tonight for you.

Let us go to Hebrews 7 .25.

Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing ye are there to make a deception for them.

This is exactly the same as Acts 17 .31.

How does a lawyer plead for his client?

He's got to invoke the law through mercy.

The law is the word of God.

And that defends us by grace and mercy.

So Jesus is interceding for us.

He's interceding according to the unfailing word of God which can't change.

that means whether we believe it or not Christ remains faithful the word remains faithful and he wants us right now to receive his word of promise and he is pleading Before the Father that we receive it.

And he's doing it because he's raised from the dead.

And the prophet proved that he is raised from the dead.

And he's in amongst us. Christ himself is pleading for us. He is presenting the promises of God before God for us.

Our representation is in Christ.

And our representative is Christ.

And he's guaranteeing his word to us tonight. Let us rid our minds of all other thinking.

Let us get rid of our thoughts.

Let us get rid of our feelings. Let us become passionate.

But let us be dispassionate. Unmoved by feelings.

Listen to me. This is a glass of water. How many have any feelings about it? Numberless. You don't need any feelings about it. How many have any thoughts about it? Nobody. You don't need any thoughts about it. This is truth. You see it. It's right. Christ has risen amongst us. It was proven by the prophets. You don't need any thoughts. You don't need any reasons. It is a fact. This is no longer a fact. It is a fact. In the face of that fact. In the face of the fact of the revelation, this is nothing. In the face of the fact of the revelation that he is risen, this is nothing.

Nothing.

Just as you can handle it. Just as you can see it. It's going to pass away. I could tap it right now. Gone. What would you do with the pieces? What would you do with the pieces? Nothing. Now think of it. Jesus has risen from the dead. I feel his presence. I know he is here. It is proven amongst us. It was vindicated. Christ is peasant. Get rid of your own feelings. Get rid of your feelings. Heaven and earth shall pass away.

But the creator will not pass away.

And whatever goes down in death.

Which is a part of him. He raises again.

He has proved his resurrection.

Everybody should receive a promise in that.

Let's go further. The very stream of true Christianity rather the very life stream of the true church is the resurrection. The very life stream of the true church is the resurrection.

It is proven in 1 Corinthians 15, 17 to 19. If Christ be not raised, your faith is vain, you're yet in your sins, and so on. 17, right here. 17 to 19. 15 chapters. 15 chapters, way over. There.

17 to 19 verses. 17 to 19.

If Christ is not raised, your faith is no good.

It won't do you any good. But what if he is right? Then your faith is good. As Dr. Bosworth said.

Never doubt your faith. If you must doubt. Doubt your doubt. They are unreliable.

But he is reliable.

And he proved it. He came amongst us by a pillar of fire.

He spoke back through the prophet.

It vindicated my brother and my sister. Listen to me. In the old days you were shook in Pentecost. You got it. You got it planted. You even screamed when people told you that.

Can you not be stimulated tonight then by the word of God that's proven true?

Is your heart more on fire to believe him?

For the times and wonders were done amongst us.

which prove he is risen and he's the same entity forever it also says here they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are period if in this life only we have hope in Christ we're all men more livable

What is he saying? Without his resurrection there is nothing to Christianity.

But with his resurrection Christianity is everything and there is nothing beside it.

But Christianity is split.

It's made up of a harlot and daughters of a harlot.

The false anointed are amongst her.

Now listen to me. Let God once prove where his true resurrection power is. Let God want truth.

Where his true resurrection power is.

Then all else is dead.

And this alone is alive.

Now my brother and my sister if there is one vine.

and we are the branches and the resurrection has proved itself what life is in the branches and what will it bring forth in us it will bring back that same faith and power

That Jesus Christ is the same yesterday to man forever.

And in us he's doing the same thing.

Now then can anyone go without him?

Can anyone say that my problem is too great?

He intercedes to save to the uttermost.

And that word save is sozo in the Greek. The word save is sozo in the Greek.

Which means to make faith.

And make sound by him.

To preserve.

and to guarantee deliverance at the end and he proved the reality by his indicated message no wonder Jesus felt at times

And brother Branham passed the time. That the stones would cry out.

Because people would not believe.

Let us believe tonight my brother and sister. For he is alive. He is risen from the dead. The omnipotent life of God is in the bride.

And by his resurrection God put him above every name and every power so that he is all things to the church which is the bride. he has appeared amongst us and proven he is our head so he is all things to all things to the bride which means he is even now not only able but is doing it causing this word to live to us

and in us and through us for flesh is becoming word and word is becoming flesh and revealed word is manifesting it is revealed word the same signs and wonders are with us

If we only believe. This is why Brother Branham always sang that song.

Only believe. Only believe what? That he is the same yesterday, today and forever. That he is risen from the dead. And he is among us. To do what he said he would do.

Do we have our office today?

We can get what we believe for.

The word test has been met.

It is proven. Now let us get rid of our own thinking.

Let us be like Abraham. When the day of the promise came he put aside his own thinking. He considered not his own body nowadays.

Don't consider yourself.

Don't consider your arthritis.

Don't consider your ulcers. Or your cancer. Or your diabetes. Or your crippled condition. Don't consider it. The word consider means this.

To thoroughly peruse. To thoroughly keep looking at it and investigating it.

Forget it.

Sister Maria from Tennessee.

Came to Brother Branham. She had heard that he was home when he preached the field.

She got there Monday when he was supposed to leave town.

He told us all that he was going.

But somehow she came anyway.

And God would not let the prophet leave town.

She parked outside the church in her car.

She was completely eaten up by cancer.

There was not a hope for her. Brother Graham came right out to the church.

Came right up to her car. He knew who she was. He knew she had cancer. And he said, don't you worry. And as soon as I prayed. Don't you ever think of this cancer again.

Put it out of your mind. Don't think of it. Don't dare to think of it. Never again do you think of it. She grew infinitely well.

She is a picture of health. She is a picture of health at this time.

Consider not your infirmity.

You don't need a prophet here. The need has been met through the prophet.

The prophet has gone on. You don't even need me here. I've only done my duty. To disappoint you with what the prophet said.

And to encourage you to place yourself with the word.

To see yourself as a branch.

For as you abide in that word.

The word must manifest itself through you.

Part of that manifestation is divine healing.

Giving peace to troubled minds.

Stilling the troubled soul.

Mending broken relationships.

Saving homes. And above all. Grasping you more and more into Christ.

It will be difficult. To tell where the vine starts and the branch begins.

This is no false hope. for the scripture has told us if we see him as he is we are going to be changed to be like him there will be no difference for the party in the head is one place

And we have seen him as he is. Because he proved himself alive.

Manifested himself in a resurrection.

He's the same yesterday, today and forever. And we shall be like him. Because that's part of his word. Shall we rise at this time?

Gracious heavenly Father.

I have preached your word. It is now out of my hands. Lord, it's in your hands now. I don't believe I've told one thing wrong. In fact, I don't think I've told half enough right.

It could have been so much better. It could have been so much greater. And I'm just too limited. But I know you proved yourself alive.

And I know you're here in the resurrection. And I know every single promise is ours because you guarantee it by your resurrection.

Now Lord, let this mind be in the people.

The same mind that was in you. That you became them. That they might be actually lifted up in you.

So the word may be entirely fulfilled in them.

Now Lord at this time. I have peace in my heart. To pray for them. Whatever they need. I do not know. I will not ask. But Lord I will believe at this time. That you give to them. The desires of their hearts. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. In order to keep. A proper atmosphere in the church.

I will ask you to come one row at a time beginning on this side whosoever desires prayer I will have no way of knowing your needs

I don't need to know them. You don't need to tell me. I have faith at this moment that I can believe for you and with you because it's in his hands. He's the one that's alive. He's the one that's proved he's here. He's the one that showed he's the same yesterday and forever.

He's the one that's going to do it. You're not coming to your brother. You're coming to him. I'm just a voice now that's here.

Just the hand of two glads that lay it on you.

Did my brother stand with me?

So you may simply come back. And I will pray in Jesus name. And the word of God will perform.

What it was sent to perform.

You have only one child. And it has been given. be like Abraham consider not whatever the problem is leave it in his hands once and for all and somewhere down that road very soon if not immediately you will have your promise which is the word of God manifesting your flesh

so that becomes the word of God manifest in place the greatest honor that anybody could have bestowed upon him now before you come I don't know who all the minister brethren are

but as many as feel it I want you to come here now and those who request prayer I want you to just start in the first row on this side please that's the one let them get by and keep the line continuing and then go to your seat We don't need a long time. We don't need a long time. We just need a time.

Any other brethren who stand with me?

But in his name, Lord. All right, that's fine. He says, That's right. Just in the name of Jesus Christ, according to God's word, may that word that you believe tonight be your fortune and become manifest in your faith as it is in Jesus' name. The Lord bless you.

Let that word now be manifest in you in the name of Jesus Christ. Sister, lay hands on you in the name of Jesus Christ, not knowing your problems, but knowing that you have come here believing his word. Let that word now be your portion, and it manifest in your flesh according to your faith, and your faith is in him. Sister, lay hands on you in the name of Jesus Christ, knowing also that you are one of him, and then come forward by faith in his name, and believe now that you have been delivered in Jesus' mighty name. Go your way.

Amen.

Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.

Father, for our sake, you've already told us you've got some kind of hurry or something. I don't know what it is, but I know, Lord, that you're here in the name of Jesus Christ. And, Lord, I thank you for your glory. Lord, we lay hands upon you in Jesus' name, knowing you're here for the fulfillment of the word which God has already proven. And you're here to let me do what he proved already. Receive your portion in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. You're here for healing as you told me today. And Heavenly Father, I pray for her. As I lay hands on her, Lord, I believe for her, Lord, that you now resist me in Jesus' name. And the word of God be mighty and powerful, that she be loosed at this time from the top of her head to the sole of her feet in Jesus' name. And this brother also, Lord, wanted healing. And Father, God, he spoke about her. So I'm not unaware of this problem, but you sent your word to him. And Lord, let me speak to you. kind things, and good things about people, so the devil will leave them alone, and his body will be whole. According to your word, which the prophet gave us now, let the word of God have its full effect in your body. In Jesus' name. Amen. They had to brought a sister in the name of Jesus Christ for the healing of her body. For whatever her need is, Lord God, because you're the God of creation. Oh, Father, I just fear your presence to do what you said, and I thank you for it. This is the end. that ends upon our sister in Jesus' name. Here again, Lord, I'm looking for coming for your word. Not my word, Lord, but your word is you're standing here to perform it and I thank you for it in Jesus' name. Amen. Pray for our sister now, Lord Jesus, also according to the word. And here she is, stand here, Lord. Here I am, I'm nothing, but show everything that she has come to do. And Lord, I just know that you're here and I thank you, Lord, that you are here to deliver her in the name of Jesus Christ. Lord, we pray for our sister. And we thank you that she can come forward tonight. You gave her the faith, Lord. And Lord, we believe you now. And let her never look at her condition again. Grant, Lord, at this moment that your words become real to her in her flesh in Jesus' name. Amen. God bless you, sister. Heavenly Father, we lay hands upon our dear sister who's in my other chair here. Come and get me before you, Lord. And we pray for her now, Lord, because you said that we should inherit the kingdom of God. Lord, I'll see you in the present. I know you're here, even if I didn't see you yet. And I thank you. You proved your risen. You're the same yesterday, today, and forever. I believe you touched it in Jesus' name. God bless you. Sit your hands upon you in Jesus' name, knowing you've come here to come to his word, the vindicated word, the word of Almighty God that lives forever. Let the faith and life of the word be released in your body, and whatever you're needed, let you be helped in Jesus' name. The Lord bless you. Heavenly Father, you come again. Here is a part of the word. Because if he's a real believer, Lord, he's got to be a part of that word because your word. Now let the word come to word. Let the word come to life and heal the body. Set us free in Jesus' name. Thank you, Lord. Father, we pray for this dear sister here who loves you. And please, grace, love her heart now, Lord. And Father, let your word be loose within her. Let that word, Lord God, now become manifest in your prayer. And may it never look back from this moment on in Jesus' daily life. Heavenly Father, we pray for this dear sister. Dear Lord, there's something, I don't know what it is, but you know. And now, Lord God, according to your word, that you live, Lord, to make intercession, that you guarantee, and you're doing it, Lord. I thank you for the guarantee in your life in Jesus' name. Amen. The Lord bless you, dear sister. Heavenly Father, lay your hands upon her, dear sister. And Lord, Father, she is here for some reason, but only you know. And Father, I just pray now that that word, Lord, that living word, oh God, the creating word, the healing word, deliver her and give her the desire of her, my Lord, and let her know and never look back in Jesus' name. Heavenly Father, another one that's got to trust you tonight. And you said, Abraham, consider not his own body now, dear. Even yet the death that is to bear his womb and the prophet that is to marry don't ever look back. Oh, God, in Jesus' name, we pray for our sister and make she never look back but receive the promise. Amen. Pray for our brother in the name of Jesus Christ, Lord. Let him be filled with your word and the effect of your word, Lord. Father, your word is not dead. It is the light. And Lord, this be a branch. The light is in the branch. And healing is already in it. Remove that which is hindering the healing. Let him behold in Jesus' name. The Lord bless you. Heavenly Father, we pray for our dear brothers. Here he is, Lord, with some need I don't know, but you know. But oh my God, you are here now. And I know that you love him. Let the power of Christ bring the word of love to life now. In this body. In Jesus name. Amen. Heavenly Father we pray for our dear brother here. Who tries to serve you. Nobody in the cause of the message. And Lord in heaven. I just know Lord that you're here. And his word Lord. Your words in him. Energize your word Lord. Now to deliver him. In the name of Jesus Christ, take my word with you here. You have no power over his body. It belongs to God. Let him never look back. Amen. My dear beloved brother, 77 years of age, Lord, and maybe someone would say we can't ask for him, but we can, Lord, and we're asking according to grace. As Brother Brennan asked for Brother Al, deliver my brother, Lord, from whatever affliction in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen, brother. God bless you. I think you got your answer. Heavenly Father, pray for this dear brother here. And he is a part of us and we're part of him. And we're all part of you. And so with compassion, Lord, we encourage our brother and believe now that the word of God is produced by the Holy Ghost to transform him. Even as one day it will be entire. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen. Brother, I believe it. Heavenly Father, lay hands on our brothers. And here he is looking to you. And we're looking to you, Lord. And you said, if any could be agreed upon anything, it shall be done. Heavenly Father, we agree that you are the healer, that you are the deliverer. Let him be helped now. In Jesus' name, amen. God bless you. His brother, Lord, in the wheelchair. Maybe prayed for him many times. But maybe, Lord, he's got to be like Abraham now. Lay hands upon him also. And pray, Lord, from this moment on, in Jesus' name, he doesn't look back. And he comes right out of this wheelchair. Justice for Samaria was healed. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen. The Lord bless you. Just believe, brothers. I'm not going to test the miracle. Heavenly Father, you look here for our brother. And he has great need. I don't know what it is. But he's here, Lord, according to your word. And we lay hands upon him like you said. And you said the fair face could save the sick. And the Lord would raise him up. And so now, Lord, he is according to your word. He's done what you said and preached your word. And now, Lord, he reads your word. He's going to go to work. And we thank you for it in this man's body, in Jesus' name. And now don't go, brother. Amen.

The sister turns. Lord, we look to you for her. And we know she's a devoted servant of yours and loves you and tries to serve you, give you the message. And, Father, here she is, a child of yours, and so close to this word. Oh, God. Let her be healed, I pray in Jesus' name. Let her body respond. And I breathe with God. Amen. God bless you. With all my heart I need you. Heavenly Father, we pray for a sister here. And here's another child of yours. And I preach the word, Lord. And that's my job to do, Lord. And just accept the lay on hand and talk to you. Oh, Father, let her be healed. Let the word be loosened in her, O God. Let the word, the large and precious body is to that word. Let it be vibing with the life of the Word in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. Just lift your hands, Lord. Don't know where they're coming from. A faithful wife serving her husband and children. Oh, God, here she is now to be served, Lord, by the Holy Spirit. In Jesus' name, Lord, I curse the affliction, Lord, and believe, oh, God, that you touch her now and loose her. Jesus, from her infirmity, Father, I thank you for it. In the name of Jesus Christ, the Lord bless you. Our dear brother here, Lord, carrying the Bible looks like, and what a wonderful thing, under his arm. The deeper under his arm is the heart, but in the word. And Lord, I breathe to mind also, Father God, let the word come to light, and let it flood his body with healing power, because it is a healing word. In Jesus' name, amen. Amen.

Our dear brother standing here, Lord, for healing. or whatever it is, I don't know. It has something to do with the literature. I can't tell. The Lord is here for help. And I know one thing. If you ever live to make intercession, the very fact you're living is to just put the promises of God into effect, not in the world, not in an animal, but in a child of thine. Amen. Stand in here. Lord God, let your word go into effect now in the name of Jesus Christ. And filling them to the top of his head. To the pharmacy with the Holy Ghost. The Holy Spirit. Amen. And from this moment ever again. Until word upon word. Does be filled to the very end. In the name of Jesus Christ. Do you believe that brother? I believe it with all my heart. Don't believe that. Have a good brother. Your father lived there 30 years. Here he is now receiving help. Nervous and all. Like he told me. Heavenly Father. I don't care how old he is. He could look much older than he is because of eternity. We don't look at that. We look at you, T .J. You, Lord, we're looking at you who proved your resurrection amongst us. Oh, God, in Jesus' name, we accept it at this moment. In the infirmity, Lord, leave his mind and body and never return from this moment in Jesus' name. Brother, I feel great peace for you.

Now, I'm not going to make any tests, but I want to seduce you to something different. The Lord says to you, don't look back. God's on your side. There's nothing better about it. Right here, sister, here, Lord. Peace aside. Lovely girl. Uncut hair. Knowing she can be prayed for and praised. And you'll hear from heaven. Oh, God. Hear a living testimony. Heal her. Teach her. Because of her faithfulness, Lord. Instead of faithfulness. Not asking for a lot. God in Jesus name. I thank you for touching her. Open your word to her Lord. Let her be manifesting whatever the word is promising in Jesus name. The Lord bless you. Amen. Heavenly Father for our dear brother here. Hear the word. Lord in heaven. I don't know what it means. It might mean the Holy Spirit. It might mean healing. Maybe a loved one. I don't know. But I know that you have every promise. Open him tonight. Proven by the resurrection. Father, I claim it for you in the name of Jesus Christ. And I thank you for it even. God bless you. Now, don't worry. Heavenly Father, for my dear sister here, come now, Lord, to eat your peasant, not mine, but in yours, Lord. Oh, God, the children's bread, the word alive, spoken by the Holy Ghost, the breathed and happy, creaked hard and strong, but bleeding. Oh, God, reward her, people, that I praise Jesus.

Amen.

Dear Lord, for this dear young lady here, lovely young child, who could grow up into beautiful womanhood, a part of the bride of Jesus Christ. Put down upon her now, Lord God. Forgive her of everything. Renew her by the Holy Spirit. Change her whole life and concept, O God, to see there's nothing but the Word and nothing but faith and only Christ there. God, whatever she needs at this moment, her little heart's calling for it. I pray in Jesus' name, give it to her, Lord. Oh, God, I plead to her in Jesus' name. The Lord bless you, honey. Father, here we are, here by the time of service. Maybe there are many difficulties and misunderstandings and all, but nonetheless, Lord, I tend to find myself with you. Oh, God, I pray now, you should identify yourself with him and give him an answer. Answer every problem he's got. Whatever it is, Lord, I don't know what he wants. But, oh, God, give him the rest and the peace and the joy of the world. Let him be one with thee in his very life in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.

Now, Jesus, you know her. I don't. You know her heart, Lord. But I know you, Lord, and I know your word. And you said, lay hands upon the sick and they shall recover. Lord, I believe now she recovers. I believe, Lord, you give her body, whatever it is, what she needs, by the miracle power of the Holy Ghost. And I thank you for it in Jesus' name. For our brother here, Lord, we look to you now for him. In the name of Jesus Christ, lay hands upon me. And oh, God in heaven, he's got a need. But that doesn't mean a thing, because you've got the answer. And before there was ever any, before he was ever here, you had the answer. It was your word. That's the same creative word, the life -giving word. Give him life, oh God. And whatever faith he needs, it is Jesus' name. Amen. Let's come, boy Lord. We don't know what the future holds for the Lord. We don't want to see the trials await Him and oppressions await Him and temptations await Him. He doesn't even know Himself yet. The Lord, if He can know you and that were He, then He is safe. God, we dedicate Him to the Word of Jesus Christ. Whatever His need is at this hour, I pray, Lord, You'll teach Him that He's safe in Your hands by granting His request at this moment that You'll never leave Him nor forsake Him. I know you'll prove yourself to me. In Jesus' name, amen.

Now, if anybody else wants to come, please come quickly now. Now, if anybody else wants to come, because I have a security way of doing things, and this is one of them, you just come quickly. Heavenly Father, lay hands upon her, sister. And here she is, Lord, with some request. You know it, Lord. And it's sufficient you know, because I'm no high priest. You are the high priest. And you said, Lord, that man's fault. Speak louder in heaven than man's words. And here she is thinking her thoughts. Lord, as those thoughts arise to you, I just laid my hands on her, Jesus. And I believe, oh God, that the living word that was vindicated tonight, Christ risen among us, touches her now. And she doesn't ever need to look back because it's committed to you. God bless our brother, Lord. Faithful and interpreting here. I think I ought to go home tonight, Lord. Wants a safe journey. But he's got desires on his heart, Lord. And here he is. And I believe, Lord, he's a man that wants his mind to have your word and nothing else. To be right about everything. And, oh, God, with such an attitude, I'm glad to pray for him. Oh, God, he even delivered him wherever his hands are. And he's home wherever he is. Christ, let it all be done in the name of Jesus Christ. Now, like Abraham, identify his family with himself. But terrorize him. Whatever is necessary. To claim the token. And to walk with upright faith. And kingly manner. To see the results in Jesus name. God bless you. For our brother here Lord. He's come to you not me. For you're the high priest. There's only one intercessor. One mediator. And that's the man. That's not this man. So Lord I'm glad to call to you the man. That can listen. Hear our prayer Lord. As we join our thoughts in your mind. Touch my brother, Lord. Give him the desire of his heart. I pray you'll tend to the flame of reality in Jesus' name. Amen.

Heavenly Father, we pray for our brother. Lord, long disturbing your word. I don't know what his heart's cry is. It may be for something for you to help him in the spirit. I don't know. But I know, Lord, that you're the high priest and there's something in your word concerning him. And if there is, Lord, I know that you're living right now to give it to him. And you prove the guarantee of it by a resurrection amongst us. Then, Lord God, we can just say, Son, God answered your prayer, not because we said so, but because He said so. And He proved it. And we believe it in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Our dear sister, Lord, working and laboring in the Word, trying to help in getting out the Word, Lord, as a typist and various things she's doing, Lord, and playing piano and singing. My God, here she is modest and neat as a woman should be. Lord, how ashamed faithful to be. This is your kind of woman, Lord. We just present her to you, Lord Jesus, and believe that you touch her now. Oh, God, touch her from the top of the head to the soul of this sanctifying consecrator now and loose her from whatever she desires to loose down and bind her to what she wants to be bound to. Lord, I thank you for it in Jesus' name. Amen. The Lord bless you.

Thank Heavenly Father for this dear brother here coming to you also because of the word, not because of you, but the vindicated word of a proud Lord. And he loves the word. And you can see the enjoyment of his faith when the word speaks. Heavenly Father, Lord, I don't have the power. But if I had it, I would say, Son, you've got what you want. But you have the power. And you already said it. Father, I just believe now with you that God will act. Like Abraham, he's going to see it in Jesus' name. The Lord bless you. Son, Heavenly Father, praise for our dear brother here. You again, you know he's here. I don't. Because, Lord, you're the intercessor. The discerning word was amongst us, proving it. Breeding any man's heart. We don't need to worry, Lord. Oh, God, at least you touched him in Jesus' name. Heavenly Father, just be your quickening spirit here now. As I thought, Lord, of that word, the red hearts, the discerns, the diviners, that showed more than praises. Lord God, let there be a division of sickness and doubt and unbelief in everything from you, Lord, whatever it is in him. Until she can set forth, Lord, the desire of her heart done through Christ in it. Lord, bless you. Lord, for our brother here. Intentionally in love with your word, Lord. Very desirous, oh God. Always to know the word. And that's it. It is a wine of stimulation. Lord, he knows it. That's the revelation. That's the revelation. And Lord, tonight he's got the faith to get what he wants. In Jesus' name, according to your word. And I believe, Lord, it's done. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. The Lord bless you. My dear sister here, Lord. Another one's a Murray. Tell me that she ought to come, Lord. That's what you said. And when they come that way, you said ask anything in my name and I'll do it. That the Father may be glorified. Father, I ask for her in Jesus' name that the desire of her heart be granted to her until every fiber of her body is filled in the presence of God. She's a vessel for your honor. And your word becomes real in her, not only to her, in Jesus' name. Heavenly Father, pray for my dear sister here. I don't know what... Troubles and troubles her. Don't know what her trials and tribulations may be. But we know she's heir to them. But I know, Lord, that she may be counted the sheep of the slaughter. Oh, Lord, she's more than conquered. Through the Christ that vindicated himself. And proved that he's risen. And proved he's the shepherd of the flock. Who cares for the sheep and loses them. Lord, let her out. It's at this time to receive, O God. I pray that she's the name that she receives. And by faith take what she needs at this hour and you have guaranteed to her. Through Christ, amen. Amen, brothers and sisters. Lord, another brother coming to receive the legacy of Jesus Christ. No fine print to appear in me. Nothing hidden in it all. But the full revelation of Christ uncovered before us at the end time and proven that he's only here. And resurrected. Backing up his word. God's lady. Be now that he receives in Jesus' name whatever his heart needs. And you guarantee it. And he never looks back. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Heavenly Father, for this brother, coming forward now, needing something out of the water, ministry somewhere, somehow, trying to be witness to your word, as we all are in some capacity, some little more than others, through various ministries. But Lord in heaven, I pray that you will now circumcise his mind and his understanding in his heart. You, Lord, will take away everything which is not in accordance with your word as to understanding and faith. Because that's the most important thing in all the world. Then, Lord, loose the revelation to accomplish what he desires. Which I believe you do at this moment. That he can receive in his body, whatever place it is, the word of... God in power. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. Lord bless you.

You may be seated.

It's a little late, but we can take a little time.

The reason this message was preached is because not so long ago I became very ill.

I went to the doctor. I went to a chiropractor.

And I took therapy. And nothing seemed to help. And I needed help right away. I was getting sicker by the minute.

And I was in meeting. And I was preaching. And I took a stool. And I sat on it to preach. But that night I was so ill.

And I could get no help. So I began to call in the name of the Lord. I lay awake in bed for about two hours.

Praying to God. And he healed me. and I realize this that we can be healed if we want to be healed because God wants to heal us it matters what we want and if we want what he wants for us then of course we'll get it And I wanted what he wanted for me. And I was healed. So I brought this message in order to help you.

Now I care not what your problem is.

If there is a promise you can have it.

There is a verse in the Bible that is not used very often. And when it is it is not used right.

I want to use it for you. And use it right. As a wonderful preacher.

Once brought it to my attention.

And because of the revelation. I received the Holy Spirit. I had quite an emotional experience.

It was very fine. But I had the real evidence of the Holy Ghost.

Because the next day when I opened my Bible I thought I had found a new book.

I could not believe it was the same book. And it wasn't the same book either. Because this time it was the word of God. Not just the printed page. The proof of the fact that it was so was that when I met Brother Branham we differed very little.

And what he taught I could believe. Now what was that verse? Ask and it shall be given you. Think and you shall find. Knock and it shall be opened. For he that asketh, receiveth.

And he that seeketh, findeth.

And to him that knocketh, the door is opened. that is a direct statement of God that cannot be refuted that cannot be changed and since this is so then asking is receiving seeking is finding

and knocking is opening the door if you will let this sink down into your heart and repeat this to your heart time after time after time until it leaves the spiritual womb which is the mind

needs a spiritual womb which is the mind and goes down into your soul you will become one with that word and you will ask and receive because you will know it cannot be otherwise any more than what I will do now

Where I will put my finger in this water.

And it's got to happen if I determine to do it.

And I do it. Asking is receiving.

Just as determining to dip my finger is dipping my finger.

Thinking is finding.

Whatever you're looking for, you'll get it.

Knocking is opening the door.

Which means whatever is hindering you should be put aside.

Because God said so. Listen again. Ask and you shall receive. Go ahead now. Go ahead now. Seek and you shall find. Open your eyes so you can see it.

Knock. And the door shall open. For asking is receiving.

Seeking is finding.

Knocking is opening the door. What are you doing tonight? Were you asking? Then you received. Now don't say otherwise. Because it's true, you received. God said so. You have received. Did

you seek? What were you seeking for? It's yours. You found it. You don't have to look anymore. Because he said seeking is fine. Did you knock tonight? The door is open. God said so. Let this be in your heart, my brother, my sister. Let it be in your heart. You will get it. Because you have it. The word is a seed. That seed has the power to transform itself into what that word says.

they shall cast out devils they go they shall heal the sick you shall be healed they shall raise the dead you shall be raised whatever you ask in my name you shall receive because asking is receiving

Seeking is finding. And knocking is opening the door.

That's the word of God.

Let God's word be true.

Let every man's word alive. Bring every thought into captivity.

And in subjection to Jesus Christ who is the word.

Let his mind be in you. Let his word richly dwell in you.

Put aside your own thinking.

Consider not your own body.

Don't consider anybody else's.

This is the hour of the promise to be fulfilled. Every promise. Because the son proved he was here.

God was again manifested in human flesh.

It was proven. So you have asked. You have received. He said so. You have sought. You have sought. So you have found. You have knocked. So the doors have opened. Let me tell you something. You came here to this meeting for the purpose of hearing the word. You came here with questions on your heart and mind.

Because you've heard many different things said about this message.

Let me tell you now, my brother, my sister. The flame of fire the prophet saw over my head was not given to me to captivate you nor make you love me. Nor to make you listen to me.

Nor to make me a leader.

Nor to make me an authority.

But to give the testimony of Jesus Christ to us the word.

I have been faithful to the prophet's word. I have not deceived you. I do not want you to follow me. I do not even want your respect. I do not covet your love.

I don't want your flattery. I don't want a compliment even. I want one thing. And I will go to the lake of fire if I have to go for it.

I want to be true to this word as the prophet said.

And I want you to know how the prophet said it.

That is all that comes. Nothing else is in my mind. I have been honest with you. I've tried to give you this word not my own.

I have no interest in my word.

It is his word. So I say you have come for the word and to the best of my knowledge and my heart I have told you exactly what that prophet said about that word.

Then you have gotten this much. Then can you not go a step further.

And can you not see Christ risen amongst us.

And proven he is here in his resurrection palace.

And he's the same yesterday and forever. Can you not hear him say tonight. Ask. And you shall receive. See. You shall find. Not. And it shall be opened.

Because if you ask. I will give it to you. If you have lost it. I will find it for you. If there is a door between you and it.

I will open the door so you can hear.

He said. He means. It's us. The Lord bless you. Tile word upon word.

Go up into him. Clothe yourself fully with that vest.

And nothing shall be impossible to you. And the very power of the resurrection.

Which is to us who believe at this moment.

Shall place us in the very resurrection.

And we shall not taste death.

We shall not miss one breath. We shall not miss one.

and we are not in competition with each other we are not saying I'll make it in you also but branches of that vine with the same life and the same faith The same spirit. The same mind. Will meet him in the air. Carry this in your heart. Carry this only in your heart.

Carry this only in your mind.

Until it comes in here in the house. And when this is here in here. We will be there. So will these be destined. The Lord bless you. Our kind

heavenly founders some folk will be departing from us. Give them journey in mercy.

Overflow them with thy love and faith.

That's the virtuous word of God ruling your heart and mind. Let them be a light unto the people. And especially give glory to you.

Lord, I pray the faith that the people have tonight.

will never depart their hearts and their minds but will from this moment on increase and abound until the very seed of the word comes forth in the harvest of that word I believe you'll do it for us and I wonder if the king eternal and mortal is visible

The only wise God. The all power and honor and glory.

Through Jesus Christ our Lord.

May they now be committed unto him.

And to his grace. Amen and amen. The Lord richly bless you.

What song will we sing as we go?

We'll sing number 19 as we go. The first verse I think should be sufficient. Because it's late already.
