64-10 Healing Line

[64-0409  Identified Christ Of All Ages, Birmingham]
65 Lord God, You identify Yourself in all ages, God. You was God, in sundry times Who spoke to the fathers through the prophets, in this last days through Your Son, Jesus Christ, Who we love and believe, and know that He's the same yesterday, today, and forever, as He has promised.
Now, Father, such a wonderful crowd and fine faith. It's easy to speak to them. But, O Lord, may that faith just move up now, just into another cycle now, step right outside of the human thinking. They have heard this. They've been taught that by their pastors. They--they've looked for it for years and years to come.
And now, we pray, Father, that You'll make it known to us tonight, that You are not dead, but You are alive forevermore, and living among Your people as a Lily in the valley amongst all the other flowers, the Fairest of ten thousand. Now, we pray, O Lily of the Valley, that You'll come to us tonight. Make Yourself known among us to identify Yourself in this age, for it's promised. I've just told them the Word, that in the last days as Sodom and Gomorrah, so would the Son of man reveal Himself as He did at Sodom and Gomorrah before the promised son come to the elected, and destruction came to the rejected. So I pray, Father, that they'll understand this, and may You come and keep Your Word, which I know You will, in Jesus' Name. Amen. 
-67 How many here doesn't have a prayer card, and you're sick? Raise up your hands. Well... Raise up your hands. How many here that doesn't know me, raise up your hand, knows that I know nothing about you, raise up your hand. All right, now you look this-a-way, and believe now. Everybody real reverent.
Now, just remember, one Word from Him will mean more than I could speak in a hundred lifetimes. See? I could preach just... How many believes that that's the truth? All right. Now, if it's the truth, God's obligated. If that's His Word, that's His promise, He's obligated to do it. He's obligated to confirm His Word. Is that right? And if He does do it, will you believe it? Then all right, you believe it.
Now, you can say, "Jesus? I don't look around, see Him anywhere." Look. What if some man walked in here with nail scars in his hands, and stuff all over his face, and blood, and so forth? Any hypocrite could do that. And remember, Jesus won't come like that. When He comes like that, time will be no more. There'd be no more time when He comes like that. But why would you know that it was Him then, if He come? Because He would identify Himself by His--by His Spirit, His sign, His Life in you. "I am the Vine; ye are the branches." Now, you just remember, and believe that with all your heart now. 
E-68 Now, this your prayer line? All of them there? I--I don't know. Eight or ten? All right. That's all right. Come here. Tomorrow night we'll try to pick up more. Everybody real reverent. Now, just let them come one by one, as they come.
Now, first place, I want all that's in that prayer line that knows that I don't know you... The little prayer line here, that knows that I don't know you, raise up your hands, know that I don't know nothing about you, know nothing of you, know not what's wrong with you, have no idea? All right. Now, real reverent.
Now, just remember where we're standing. The Word has been read. Now, remember. I cannot heal no one; no other man can heal no one. But your faith in what is Christ is what does the healing. Now, if He'll make Hisself known here, like He did, identify Himself like this, as He did in other days, would you know Him by that? That's the only way He said He'd identify Himself. That's the only way He ever did identify Himself. And He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. 
E-69 So now, here's a woman, just like St. John 4. Jesus met a woman at the well. I just referred to her a few minutes ago. Here's a man and a woman. I've never seen the woman. She just raised her hand that I never seen her, and she never seen me. So we are totally strangers. She just got a prayer card and her number happened to be called.
Are you... [The woman speaks to Brother Branham--Ed.] She said one time in Hammond, Indiana, I prayed for her. But said for her personal life, I know nothing about her, know nothing. Don't know what you're here for or now. Of course, there's hundreds of people in prayer lines, and I might have been in meetings, and so forth like that. But I mean, that I know... I don't... God in heaven knows, this Bible over my heart, I'd never remember that, somebody in the distance like that, somebody that been prayed for maybe years ago. Hammond, Indiana, that was a long time ago, many years ago, when I was in Hammond, Indiana, eight or ten years ago. 
E-70 So now just... Now, if the Lord Jesus will reveal to me what you're here for now, that would make St. John 4 exactly right. Whatever was in your heart, then the Word discerns the thought that's in the heart, just like Jesus did the woman at the well. Would you believe that to be true then? You would? Would the audience believe it to be true?
Now, here's my hand on the Bible, that I never remember the woman, wouldn't have no idea. And she raised her hand too, I wouldn't know what she was here for. Said she saw me in Hammond, Indiana. That'd be... You, every one might've been there, for all I know. I wouldn't know, just at the meeting. But now, may the Lord Jesus grant this, if He will. I don't say that He will. 
E-71 Now, I take every spirit in here under my control, in the Name of Jesus Christ. Now, be real reverent. If you're not a believer, I wouldn't advise you to stay in the building, 'cause diseases go one to another. We know that. So does afflictions. Many has been in meetings before and seen that happen.
Now, I just want to talk to you like our Lord did that woman. Now, see, you're standing there needy. And you're--you're--you're probably a Christian. I don't know. If you are, He'll tell me if you are. And then, I'm a Christian.
Now, it's two together, man and woman, and then the Spirit of God here, with a gift to let you know what you're talking to Him about, what you're saying. It might be financial. It might be domestic. I don't have any idea. But whatever it is, you'll know whether it's the truth or not, if He reveals it. It's a tumor. If that's right, raise up your hand. Now, you believe? Now, watch. You want me to tell you where the tumor's at? It's in your throat. If that's right, wave your hand like this. Now, you believe? All right. Go on your road, just thanking the Lord that you--that you believe...?... 
E-72 We are strangers to each other I suppose, lady? We don't know each other. God knows both of us. You believe God can reveal to me your trouble? Would it help you, cause you to believe? Be real reverent, real reverent.
Now, remember. There was a woman one time that didn't get any prayer card, we'll say. She went to the--touched the border of His garment. And when she did, Jesus turned around and said, "Who touched Me?" Is that right?
She had a blood issue. She said within herself, "If I can touch that Man, I'll be made well," and she touched Him.
And He said, "Who touched Me?"
And why even Peter rebuked Him, said, "That would sound like You was a mental case or something." He said, "My, why everybody's touching You."
He said, "Yeah, but I got weak. I perceive that virtue went from Me." He turned around and looked over the audience till He found that woman. And He told her what her blood issue was. It was healed. You remember that?
Now, the Bible says today (Let the ministers answer this for us.) that He's a High Priest right now that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities. Is that right?
You just take it to Him, say, "Lord God, that preacher don't know me. And let me touch Your garment. Would You speak through Him?" If He's the same yesterday, today, and forever, He'll act the same way. He's in human flesh now, acting out, redeeming His people. Now, just pray now. Believe with all your heart. Don't doubt. Don't doubt one thing. Believe all things. Just believe with everything that's within you, believe. 
E-73 Now, I want to just--just to contact your spirit, lady, just to talk to you. Do you believe that these things are true? You believe that the Lord Jesus could reveal to me what you're here for? You also have tumor. That's right. You believe He could reveal to me where it's at? It's in the female glands. And what gland it's in? It's in the womb. That's right. All right, believe now. Go with all your heart. Have faith.
Now, here's a man. A man once came to the Lord Jesus, and his name was Simon, now, and he was called Peter. And Jesus told him who he was, and where he come from, or what about it. Now, if the Lord Jesus can reveal to me what you're here for, will you believe that... You'd know it would have to be the truth, if--if you know whether it's the truth or not. You--you believe me to be His servant? You do? Thank you, sir, thank you. May the Lord help you now to believe that with all your heart. It's this little thing here. I'm just trying to get it wound up all right.
Now, as you look this way again... Yes, sir, you should be facing an operation for a rupture. That's right. And also hernia, you have a hernia. You believe I can tell you who you are? You believe it? You are a reverend. You're--you're a minister, 'cause I see you at the pulpit. And your name is Wallace. Believe with all your heart. God bless you...?... Well, my, my. Have faith now. Don't doubt. Just have faith. Believe now. 
E-74 Now, we are strangers to each other. God knows us both. Do you believe that the Lord God can tell me something about you, what you're here for or something? I'm kind of rushing because the people are--are crowded up, you know. You believe that He can reveal to me something wrong with you? You do. And you know that feeling that struck you just then couldn't be from me. That's Him. Makes you feel real, like sweetness, humbleness. That's... Did you ever see the picture of that Light? Why, it's exactly what's around you right now.
Now, the lady's moving back from me. She's suffering. I see her; she's kind of crippling up. And she's got arthritis. So... That's right. If that's right, raise up your hand. That's right. Then you also have a thyroid trouble. You're suffering with thyroid. That's true. And then you have a heart trouble, smothering from your heart. That is true too.
You're not from here. You're from some other kind of a country, where there's a lot of... You're from a way away. You're from Pennsylvania. That's right, come down here. Now, go home and be well...?... heals you, make you well. Have faith now. Don't doubt. 
E-75 Now, don't, don't move. Please don't. Just a little bit now, we'll... If you'll just give me one more... Give me this case, and then we'll stop if you'll just let me have this case; don't move. Please don't. I know I've held you real long. But see, your spirit... I'm just in contact with each one of you now. See? Now, have faith.
I'm--I'm a stranger to you. I don't know you. Christ knows you. There's a man keeps coming. Oh, it's this gray-headed man setting here, suffering with trouble in his knees. You believe that God will make you well, sir, and heal you with that knee trouble? And you believe that He'll make you well? That man right behind the--the wheelchair there, if you'll believe, with all... You're suffering with knee trouble. Raise up your hand. All right. You touched something, didn't you? You touched Him. That's right.
Say, by the way, the lady setting there next to you, the--the wife, do you believe me, sister? So that they'll know it comes from God, you believe me to be His prophet? You believe me? That rebound on that. You're suffering with a blood pressure. If that's right, raise up your hand. All right, lay your hands over on him too, 'cause he never got it too well. And then you believe with all your heart, and you'll both get well. What did they touch? 
E-76 Here, a lady just caught that then. She's setting right back here, got her head down praying. She's praying for the Lord to heal her. What she's... She's suffering, setting right on the end of the row there. She's got a ruptured stomach that she's praying about. And you believe that God will heal you, lady? Raise up your hand, the little dark-headed woman, wearing glasses, that was praying for God to heal her.
I don't know her, never seen her in my life. God knows that. If I'm a stranger to you, wave your hand, lady. That's right. I know nothing about you. Now, you know that that's true, isn't it? All right. Jesus Christ heals you, if you'll believe it.
Say, setting right behind her, that lady setting there, setting right in behind her there, she's praying too. Just follow that Light. Just... Don't you see that Light hanging right there?
Now, look, the lady's had an operation. But what she really wants Christ to do for her, is take growths off of her arm. You believe now He'll do it? Raise... Yes, raise up your hand. All right. If you believe it, you can have it. Just have faith and don't doubt. Believe. 
E-77 I... No, it's two different men. I thought this man... It's this man setting here. You believe, sir, setting right here? You believe with all your heart? You believe God's going to heal you of that prostate trouble? Make you well? You got prostate trouble. Wave your hand if that's right. That's right. Your faith makes you well, sir. Jesus Christ heals you. I never seen the man in my life.
Don't you see He's here? Don't you believe Him? Don't you see that's Him?
Now, wait just a minute, just wait. I don't believe He told you nothing about yourself, did He? You believe that He can do it? You believe that I can do it, through His grace and power, would it be His promise? You're suffering with something wrong with your neck. You had a fall, and that's what did it. That's right. Go back now. You're going to be well. Jesus Christ make you well. 
E-78 Do you believe? Everybody believes now with all your heart? Now, how many believers is there here? Raise up your hand. All over the building, up. All right. You believe.
Now, right quick. We're really about pretty near a half-hour overtime. You do this right now. Jesus said... Do you believe He's the same yesterday, today, and forever? You believe He promised to do this in this day? You believe that's the last sign that this church is going to see now before the coming of the Lord appears? You believe we're right at the end, all the Scriptures was fulfilled, ready for the coming of the Son?
Now, Jesus said, "These signs shall follow them that believe." Now, you lay your hand over on somebody right next to you. Now, you're a believer. "These signs shall follow them that believe." Now, if He keeps His Word to do this, He'll keep His Word to do that too. Now, you pray for the person next to you; they're praying for you. See? Now, don't you pray for yourself; you pray for the person. They're praying for you. Now, let's all bow our heads while we pray. 
E-79 Heavenly Father, we are grateful to see the risen Messiah. Nineteen hundred years of all kinds of theology and movements, but still in the darkness of all of it, You promised that You would appear here in the last days in this Sodom day, and You'd make yourself known to the children of Abraham, the called, the elected. And here You are tonight after nineteen hundred years, You're just as much alive tonight, as You was when You talked to the woman at the well. It's God manifested in flesh, now in the flesh of His Bride. For the Bride and the Husband is the same-self flesh. These two are One. And the church is becoming the Bride all the time by believing the Word, so that the Word and the Church becomes the same, the Word in the Church making it the Bride, the last sign, God identifying Himself, the Word in the church.
O God, these people who say they believe have their hands laid on one another. They're praying. Look down from Your glory, Lord. Watch, confirm Your Word. You said, "These signs shall follow them that believe. If they lay their hands on the sick they shall recover."
O God, may Satan lose his hold in their faith tonight. May God come in, and let them know that He's identified Himself right here among us. And Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is here with us now, the identified, resurrected Jesus Christ making Himself known, first time He's done this since nineteen hundred years ago. And here He is tonight.
May Satan lose his power, his unbelief fade out, and may the power of the resurrected Christ come into these people and heal every one of them. And we cast out Satan in the Name of Jesus Christ. May he go from this people right now, that they all may be well, while they're praying one for the other with their hands laid upon each other. Grant it, in Jesus Christ's Name. 
E-80 Now, just keep your hands on one another. Believe now. Keep your heads bowed, your eyes closed. Believe. I don't care where you're at, what's wrong with you. That doesn't have one thing to do.
If God, after nineteen hundred years ago, stands right here, identifying Himself raised from the dead, and taking mortal people and showing Himself the Messiah in all ages, same Messiah, doing the same thing by the same sign, He's raised from the dead. Promised He would do it just before His second coming, and the destruction of the Gentile world. Here He is.
We'll go deeper into it this week as we go along. But you, why suffer the rest of the week, when you can be healed right now? Somebody's got their hands laid on you. You... A believer has their hands laid on you. He said these words; "These signs shall follow them that believe. If they lay their hands on the sick they shall recover. They'll get well." Do you believe it with all your heart now?
If you believe it with all your heart, and believe that Jesus Christ, the resurrected Son of God, the One that'll judge you at the judgment bar, is here tonight in the form and Person of the Holy Ghost, and's making Hisself known by His same Scriptural sign that He promised to show you, and--that He was alive... Here He is. If you believe that with all your heart and accept Him as your Healer, I charge you by His Name, and through His Name, that you stand on your feet now, and accept your healing in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Stand up, if you believe. Stand up. That's fine. People come from cots, raised up out of wheelchairs. That--that's wonderful.
Now, just give Him praise, everybody. Raise up your hands. Now's the time to shout and give Him praise. There's people out of the wheelchairs, out of the cots, and everywhere raised up. Let's give Him praise, everybody, as you raise your hands to Him. 

 [64-0410  Scriptural Signs Of The Times]
-62 Now, be real reverent just a moment. Now, it's just exactly time to close, but just wait just a moment. Before we do that, how many believes that Jesus Christ promised to be with us wherever two or three were gathered in His Name? How many believes that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever? His--He'd be... If He was here tonight, He would be just as He was then. He'd do the same thing. The Bible said that "He's the High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities." Is that right? New Testament, Hebrews 3rd chapter, "A High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our interm--infirmities." Now, have faith in God. Now, just believe real, with all your heart. 
E-63 And you out there now, that's out in this audience that doesn't--that's sick... How many of you is sick? Raise up your hand. Just say, "I'm sick." Now, just real low, real quiet now, everybody. Now, you pray, say, "Lord Jesus, Brother Branham doesn't know me. But what he said tonight, 'A greater than Solomon is here,' and I know that that's prophesied to return. It hasn't been in the world for hundreds, and hundreds, and thousands of years; but You promised it would return again in the last days according to Malachi 4, and promised in St. Luke 17, and all these other promises.
"You said it would be here when the Son of man revealed Himself, because it has to be the Word. 'Cause the--'In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.' And the Word discerns the thoughts." 
E-64 It was the Word in the prophets; it was the Word in the Son; it's the Word in you today. See? The Word, It's prophesied, promised. Although you find many impersonations, many carnal competitions, but that doesn't take away from it--from the real. There's a real Holy Ghost, real God.

Now, you believe with all your heart, and look this way to me and believe with all your heart. Say, "Lord God, I'm going to pray. And I pray that--that You will reveal to Brother Branham, and let me touch Your garment, and You turn through him, 'cause he don't know me, and tell me what my trouble is. And then I'll know that Your Presence is here." 
E-65 Friends, you know what's the matter with the Pentecostal people? They've seen too much. An old salt, one day, was coming from the sea, and he found a writer going to the sea. And the old salt said to the--to the writer, said, "Where goest thou, my good man?"
Said, "Down to the sea. Oh, I want to smell its salty brines. I want to see its blue skies, the white clouds, the sea gulls."
He said, "I was borned on it fifty years ago. I don't see nothing so attractive about it." That's it. He'd seen so much of it, till it become common.
That's what's the matter with us, people. We've seen so much of God. This church that has been called out of the denominational groups in the last days has seen so much of it, until it's become so common you just overlook it. Don't never let Christ become common to you, friend. Don't never do that. You just believe with all your heart and all that's in you. Now, have faith in God. Now, just pray, and let the Lord Jesus grant it. 
E-66 Now, you just touch His garment. I don't know... You touch him. He can be touched. [Brother Branham pauses--Ed.] Now, just pray now. I don't say that He will do it. Just in a moment would settle it all. You just--just--just kind of... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] Now, it's a Light. Don't nobody take a picture, a flash picture. Just be reverent.
Now, here it is. It's over a woman setting here looking at me, right here at the end, right there. Uh-huh. You believe me to be His servant, lady? I'm a stranger to you. You don't know me. I don't know you. But if God will describe to me, just like He did to the woman and tell her about her blood issue, or--or the woman had five husbands, if the Lord Jesus will--will provide that information to you through me, would you believe it with all your heart? You'll know whether it's the truth or not. All right. It's a bladder trouble. If that's right, raise up your hand. Uh-huh. See? Now, that's exactly right.
Here, you setting next to her, you was going to help her. You touched her with your hand. Now, you were kind. Now, you believe God can tell me what your trouble is? You believe that He can do it? High blood pressure. If that's right, raise up your hand. Uh hum. 
E-67 The man setting next to her, do you believe, sir? Believe God can tell me what your trouble is? You know whether it'd be truth or not. Varicose veins. You believe? The little lady setting there, kind of crying like, your trouble is nervousness. That's exactly right. Kind of shadowed, you get weak in the day-time. You think you're losing your mind. The devil tries to tell you that, but you're not. It's all over from tonight now. See, you got the victory. It's left you. The black shadow that was over you has left you.
You was weeping there, setting next to her, lady. It--it thrills you. Now, do you believe me to be His prophet, or His servant? That stumbles some people. You see? So you... I don't know you. We're strangers. You believe God can tell me what's your trouble? All right. You have a heart trouble, kidney trouble, and you're anemia. If that's right, raise up your hand...?... 
E-68 This little lady setting here, kind of heavy-set, a red and dark striped dress on, she's praying. She wants to be called in this line. If that's right, raise up your hand, lady. You believe God can tell me what your trouble is? Your friend will be all right, the spiritual problem will be all right. And your female trouble will leave you, if you'll believe God with all your heart. Now, if that's right, raise up your hand. If that's what you was praying about, raise up your hand so that people can see what you're doing. All right? You just have faith in God.
Somebody back, you don't have to be sitting here on the front, way back, believe with all your heart. Way back there, there's a woman. She's got a growth on her side. She's praying. She's going to miss it. Lord God, help me, I pray. Mrs. Goodman, you believe with all your heart that God will take that growth from your side? All right. Raise your hand way up so the people can see you. I'm a total stranger, never seen her. There she... Is them things right? Raise up your hand. All right. 
E-69 A lady setting over there, out towards the end there, she's suffering with a gall bladder trouble. And she's also, she's got diabetes, heart trouble. Mrs. Otterville, believe with all your heart, lady, and you can be healed there.
Please don't move around, people. I--I ask you in Christ's Name, don't do that. See, diseases go from one to another. See? Unbelief is the most horrible thing there is in the world. Just have faith.
Here's a little lady setting here praying about her husband. He drinks. That's right. You're praying that he'll stop drinking. Isn't that right? All right. I don't know you. Got a prayer card? You don't have? You don't need one. Just faith that you got... You touched something. You're twenty or thirty feet from me. You touched the High Priest. 
E-70 Little lady behind there is praying about her husband too, setting behind her. That's right. Your husband's a nervous man, kind of a mental nervousness. He's missing right now. If that's right, raise up your hand. And you've got something wrong with your hand. You have allergy, or something or other. You touch stuff that makes your hands go bad. Isn't that right? Mrs. Patty is your name. You believe with all your heart? Now, if that's right, raise up your hand. Amen. See? I've asked you to believe.
What about this lady setting here. You've got a mark on your face, like a little skin cancer. You believe me to be God's servant? You do? I don't know you. You're a stranger to me. That's not exactly what you're praying about. You're praying about a heart trouble that you got. That's right. Is that right? This lady setting here, if you'll believe with all your heart, you can have your healing. Your husband got his last night, why not you? Ex-woman preacher... Now, believe with all your heart, and you... Now, you see, just so you'd know. You was kind of questioning in your mind. See? Now, you're satisfied, aren't you that He does? All right. Raise up your hand if that's right. Have faith in God. 
E-71 What do you think of that diabetes, sir, setting here with your hand up? You believe that God can heal diabetes and make you well? You do? All right, sir, God can heal you. You're a stranger to me too. If you'll believe with all your heart...
There's a man setting there has got heart trouble, something wrong with his back. Mr. Easter, you was hurt in a train accident that caused that. If that's right, raise up. Jesus Christ will heal you and make you well. How many of you believe?
A greater than Solomon is here. You believe it? Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever, swept plumb across the building. You believe now that He's here? He's right here now. That's reality. That's exactly what He said would take place. "These things that I do shall you also; more than this will you do, for I go to My Father."
One time a woman touched Him. He got so weak He said virtue went from Him. And He was the Son of God. I'm a sinner saved by His grace. "More than this shall you do." I know the King James says "greater," but in original it says "More than this shall you do, for I go unto My Father." Now, do you believe that? 
E-72 You believe His Presence is here? Then why not lay your hands over on one another, you believers, and pray for your fellowman setting next to you. Each one of you, lay your hands over on each other and believe with all your heart now, as you pray. Pray the way you do in church. Believe the way you've always believed. Now, let that Spirit of God that made you a Christian be just as great and royal to you as you're praying for that person, as that mother deer had in her being a mother, that loyal Spirit of Christ that's here now, that the world don't believe. The world hates It. The world don't understand It. The Bible says they wouldn't.
The world knows its own, and God knows His own. God promised it. It's the truth. So help me, it's the truth. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever. Pray now. 
E-73 Lord Jesus, here lays some handkerchiefs laying here that's for the sick and the afflicted. And I lay my hands upon them because we're taught in the Bible they'd taken from the body of Paul handkerchiefs and aprons. And unclean spirits went out of the people, and they were healed of diseases. Now, we're not St. Paul, but You're still Jesus. And I pray that You'll honor these for these people that couldn't be to the meetings. May, when they're laid upon the people, may it come to pass, like one of the writers said, when the--when the Red Sea got in the way of the children of Israel. God looked down through that Pillar of Fire with angry eyes, and the sea got scared because it was standing in the way of the path of duty to believers. And the sea moved back, and the--and the believers went over to the promised land.
Lord God, look down through the Blood of Your Son Jesus Christ tonight upon these handkerchiefs, upon these audience here, with their hands laying on each other, praying for each other. You said, "Confess your faults one to the other, pray one for the other that you may be healed, for the effectual fervent prayer of the righteous availeth much." 
E-74 I pray God, as the--the confessed Christian tonight is praying for the person he has his hands on, may the power of the Holy Ghost come upon that person. May the Spirit quicken to them, Lord, the reality. May they not miss it, Lord. Let them not be like something that's going to miss it, Father. May Birmingham catch its visions now, of the Presence of the resurrected Jesus Christ. A greater than all the prophets, a greater than all the preachers, greater than all the popes, or the potentates, or whatever it might be, it's Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever, a-vindicating Himself in the last days by His promised Word. Grant it, Lord. I pray this faith--or prayer of faith for them, as they pray for each other. In Jesus Christ's Name, we present it to You. 
E-75 Now, each one of you, as you... Got your hands on somebody? Now, just close your eyes, and remember, the Christ that's promised this has come here and vindicated Himself. Yes, I seen a man healed right there with TB, setting right back there in front of me. Now, if you just... It's just going on everywhere, everywhere in the building.
Surely if God... A man can tell anything. That don't make it so. But when God comes down and tells it, and vindicates it, and proves it's the truth, to disbelieve it, it's unpardonable sin. Jesus said it'd never be forgiven in this world or the world to come. The Scriptures promises this, and here it is vindicated right before you. People, in the Name of Jesus Christ, receive Him while He's--while He's here in the presence of us tonight, while we're with Him. Will you believe it?
And all that truly does believe it, and accepts Him as your Saviour or as your Healer, will you stand to your feet to give testimony? "I'll stand as a testimony. I truly believe, and I now accept my healing, my salvation, and all my needs in the Presence of Christ. I now accept it." My, look over the building. Almost all the congregation standing. Wonderful. That's beautiful. Now, it's all over if you believe it, if thou canst believe. 
E-76 Now, let us close our eyes, and raise up our hands, and sing, "I love Him, I love Him because He first loved me." Let's give Him praise as we sing Him now, sing to Him these praises.
I love Him, I love Him
Because He first loved me
And purchased my salvation
On Calvary's tree.
Let's raise up our hands and say, "Praise the Lord." [Congregation says, "Praise the Lord."--Ed.] Praise the Lord, praise the Lord."
I love Him, (everybody) I love Him
Because... (Thank you, Brother Urshan, what the ones that want to be saved? I'll ask them to come forward.)
And purchased my salvation
On Calvary's tree.
Now, bow your heads just a moment. The piano, the organist and pianist, go right ahead. I wonder tonight, is your conviction still believing? 
E-77 I wonder if you believe that the God Who can tell me the secret in the heart to prove that... He don't have to do that now, but He said He would do it. When Jesus came the first time, He didn't have to heal, but He said He would do it. He did it that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet. And He does it tonight because the prophets said He would, and Jesus said He would too.
Now, I wonder, if you who wants that love of God in your heart, like the--like the mother deer had for her baby, you want that love in your heart for Christ, and you believe He'd hear our prayer, would you come stand here while we pray for you, while we sing that once more? Just come right up here. You make a public confession then. Just walk right out and stand along here, if you believe that prayer, my prayer, will help you. You come right up while we sing this again.
I (Now, prove you love Him by coming.) love Him, I love Him (God bless you)
Because He first loved me
And...
(Come down out of the balcony. We'll wait for you. That don't... My... If you're really sincere, come on.)... vation
On Calvary's tree.
I... (There are people who are leaving the balconies, coming down. Everybody sing now.) I... (Just get right in the aisles, wherever, come right on.)
Because He first loved me
Remember, the God that will meet you at the judgment has met you here in the church tonight.
... my salvation
On Calvary...
E-78 I wonder if all the ministers here that's interested in lost souls, that still has a vision for people in need, if you'll walk up now among the people. All you ministers in here, every minister that believes that God will still save a sinner, you might see one of the greatest things happen just now you've ever seen. This is what the Holy Spirit likes.
I love Him...
Now, prove it, prove that you're interested. You love Him, you love Him, you love His children.
... love Him
Because...
Now, weave yourself right in among these people here...?... Just come right on up and get among the people, right like this, and weave yourself right in, laying hands upon them. Come right up here. Now, we're going to pray. I believe the Holy Spirit will be poured out upon the people tonight, right here in the audience.
... Calvary's tree.
Oh, how I love Jesus...
Get in love with Him. You can read His Word and...
Oh, how I love Jesus
Oh, how...
Now, close the world away from you now. Close all the world away from you...?...
Because He first loved me.
Oh, how I love (Wonderful)
Oh, how...
Now, ministers, get someone in here...?... now. Ministers come right in. Move right in around the people.
Oh, how I love Jesus,
Because He first loved...
Now, He's standing here. He knows everything that's in your heart. Don't you think He knows that? Right here. Wasn't no secret. He knows just what you're talk--what you're needing. 
E-79 Now, let's bow our heads, each one, all over the audience, you that even couldn't get here. Now, let's pray. Each one of you just confess all your wrong, confess all your unbelief. Say, "Lord Jesus, maybe I belonged to church once. I went to church, but I never was satisfied. There was something or another... Oh, I might've... I might've shouted; I might've spoke with tongues; I--I might've joined church," all those things, they're fine. I have nothing against that. But that's not what I'm talking about.
I'm talking about love of God that's really down there. That's the Holy Spirit. That's it. You want that, something that's real seasoned, that'll make the Word of God just live through you, and act through you. See? No roots of bitterness in the channel of... Holy Spirit just flows right through you. That's what you want.
Now, just bow your head, and reverently pray, and you ministers lay your hands upon them now. 
E-80 Our heavenly Father, we're bringing to You tonight this audience of people, that stands here making confession, knowing that they've been wrong. Their probably, motives and objectives too that's been wrong. But tonight they have come believing, believing that You will forgive every sin. Many of them's went to church for years. Many of them has--has done great charitable deeds. But, Lord, tonight they are wanting the reality; they're wanting that sweetness, that--that something that they're lacking in their lives, that Holy Spirit of God that moves in the form of the Word. And Your servants, the ministers, Your servants has their hands laid upon them.
We're praying for them this prayer, and asking, Lord, that this will be the time that not no other way, but right down in their hearts, it'll one time forever, in Your Presence, be settled right now. May the Holy Ghost come into their lives just now, and make them sweetened, Lord, with the--with the great honey of heaven, and give to them an experience that'll be an everlasting experience, that the great Presence of the living God may come boldly into their lives, and will give to them that what they need just now.
Grant it, eternal God. They are Yours. I present them to You as love gifts, and as a sacrifice as--as they're making here. And may the Holy Ghost just make it real to them now. God, grant it, in Jesus' Name.
Your pastor's going to pray. [The pastor prays--Ed.] Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Grant it. 

[64-0411 Spiritual Amnesia, Birmingham, AL]
E-60 Oh, soldier of the cross that's been shocked with so much training, so many shocks of denomination, and creed, and things of the world, why don't you just step off for a few minutes, and go looking around at the Bible? Might wander around, and you might find yourself identified here in the Word as a believer. One of these days, you might not know Him. You may come to yourself, like the prodigal son did, and find yourself. You might find your identification in the words of God.
Someone said the other--not long ago, said, "But Brother Branham, look at us Pentecostal people, what fine churches we got. Why, if we--we got ministers that's been trained."
Listen. When a man marries a wife he doesn't trust in her beauty. No. He trusts in the loyalty of her vow, her word. He doesn't trust in her beauty; he trusts in her loyalty. And that's the way when you marry to God. You don't trust in some big, beautiful church you can build, but in the promise that Jesus Christ made, that "I'm the same yesterday, today, and forever." Do you believe that? 
E-61 Let us bow our heads just a moment. I wonder tonight in the building here, where the people are setting, where there is men and women who are eternal, eternity bound people, and you know that someday or other you've got to meet God. And I wonder, if you had a little breath of that amnesia, and you would--you've been identified in the wrong thing, and you--you'd like to kinda wander around through tonight, and find out if you can't be identified in Christ Jesus. Would you raise up your hand, and say, "Pray for me, Brother Branham. I--I want to be identified as a real Christian, a real believer."
God bless you. God bless you. Bless you. Oh, yes, way around, the Lord God bless you.
Somebody up in the balcony'd say, "Brother, I really believe that's the truth. I believe as Christians, we're not Christians like they used to be years ago." 
E-62 What about you Pentecostal people, when your mothers and fathers used to stand on the street out here and beat an old tambourine, and your mother how she'd have to worry and struggle with you little children. Sometimes you had to go without clothes and everything else. But dad and mother was faithful to the cause to hold up Christ. Look what you Pentecostal people did fifty years ago. You come out of the organization; that's what made you Pentecost; you separated yourself from the unbeliever.
And like a hog to its wallow, and a dog to its vomit, you went right back and done the same, made the same kind of a mess you come out of. What's the matter? Spiritual amnesia broke out among the people. You got your creeds and your denominational papers now, and you're right up with the rest of them, want to be with the rest of them.
You permitted your women to cut their hair, wear paint. You've--you're permitting them to do all these things, permitting all this stuff in the churches. What is it? Spiritual amnesia. 
E-63 And then the first thing you know, when God begins to visit amongst the people, then what happens? You can't receive it. See? You been so sick with that amnesia. See? The only thing you've ever heard... Don't you think you ought to step off of that creed just for a few minutes and pick up the Bible, see what a Christian's supposed to be identified like? "These signs shall follow them that believe."
Acts... Peter said, "Repent, every one of you, and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and your children, and them that's far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call."
If they tell you that isn't so, then your pastor has a bad case of spiritual amnesia. He can't find himself identified with that church, not organization, a church, a mystical body of Christ. 
E-64 Now, the Holy Ghost is here. He's here to do just exactly what He promised to do. Now, while you're here with your heads bowed, just keep praying. Let the Holy Spirit speak Hisself and see if this... Anyone knows that the promise, what it is for this day.
Now, if you that's in need tonight, you... Many of you raised up your hands. Before you do that, I wonder, while we're here and really pray for the sick, I wonder if you can get away from that unbelief, that denomination, that creed that tells you these things are not so, that one that would tell you it's of the devil. When they do that, they'll never be forgiven in this world or the world to come.
What if it is the truth? Just think. What if it is? Then where are you? See, you don't have to speak it out, just believe it in your heart. And there's people here that believe that. I've set right here for the last two nights laboring under something that's keeping my whole--biting my tongue to keep from calling it right out. Remember, friends, it's between you and God. What if it is wrong? Are you thinking that? You know what happens? You'll never be forgiven for it: spiritual amnesia. You'll go right on into your eternal death, unbelief. "He that believeth not is condemned already." 
E-65 Now, pray for your sickness. Say, "Lord Jesus, You promised I..." May be some strangers here that's never been here before. Jesus promised, "Like it was..."
I'll take one Scripture. In the days of Lot when God was manifested in a body of flesh, and the people... a... Abraham, the elected group, the called-out group... And Abram's name was changed to Abraham. Then he seen the Word made flesh and it discerned the thoughts that was in Sarah's heart.
And when the royal seed of Abraham come on, that's what He did. And they called Him a devil. He said, "Now, when the Holy Ghost comes, It'll do the same thing." Said, "I can forgive when they call Me that. But when you speak against the Holy Ghost, there's no forgiveness." 
E-66 Now, may He in this hour come through this audience of people wherever you are, and with this spiritual discernment showing that He is the Word... So if there is any here suffering with amnesia that they will not--will be without an excuse before this altar call's made, may the Lord God help them. Now, with your heads bowed, reverently praying. See?
There's a lady setting here before me; she's got her hands up to her face. She's suffering with a spinal condition, and she's also got nervousness. She's got stomach trouble, and she's setting here before me now. That she might know it; she's not from this country. She's from the city called Macon. Yeah. You believe God can tell me who you are? You're Miss Ayers. If that's right, raise up your hand. I'm a stranger to you. That's true, isn't it? Now, your trouble's over. Jesus Christ, you touched His garment. He made you whole. Now, just believe it. 
E-67 There's a man setting in the back of the building. He's seeking the baptism of the Holy Ghost. He wants the baptism with the Spirit. He stands here before me. He's not from here either. He's from Carolina, Charlotte. Lepoe is his name. Believe with all your heart, and God will fill you with the Holy Ghost, my--my brother, if you'll believe it.
Here over to my right, here is a--a man and his wife, setting right straight in front of me here. It's an old couple to my right. The lady's suffering with a colon condition. Her husband has heart trouble. They're not from here. They're from Tennessee. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas, if you'll believe with all your heart, raise up your hands, and you can accept your healing. Jesus Christ make you well. 
E-68 That's exactly what He promised to do. I never seen the people in my life. Spiritual amnesia... Jesus said, "The works that I do shall you also. A little while and the world won't see Me no more. Yet ye shall see Me, for I (personal pronoun), will be with you, even in you to the end of the world," Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Now, to men and women in here that's just got something wrong with you, that you just simply can't see how... You want to believe, but you just can't get into it, and you'd like to be prayed for. You want to accept Him while you're in His Presence. Would you come and stand right here by me, let me pray and lay hands on you, if you'd come right up here now? You that's suffering like that with spiritual amnesia, and would want to be prayed for, that you'd get released from that? If you're not a--not a believer, but you want to be prayed for, come up here and stand. 
E-69 God bless you, young man. Somebody else? Bless you, lady. God bless you, young lady. Somebody else? Come, come stand right up here just now. Spiritual amnesia, I don't want to be plagued with that; God forbid. Let me--let me die the death of a--a--of anything, but never let me die that death as an unbeliever.
Come, accept Him now. Won't you do it? Come from... Come down out of the balcony, friends. It's just a few steps down here, and it might mean the difference between death and life to you. Look. I can't make Christ do nothing. Christ don't have to do anything but one thing. He has to keep His Word. He must do that in order to be Christ, be God. He must keep His Word.
Now, remember. If you're not sure of your experience, why not come down now? If you just belong to a denomination, if you are a Pentecostal grandchild... God don't have any grandchildren. He has sons and daughters, but no grandsons and daughters. See? God don't have that. He just has sons and daughters, and you know that you're not. Maybe you spoke with tongues; you might've danced; you might've done all this. That's all right. I have nothing against it. But yet if you still got that spiritual amnesia, come on down and come here, and stand here; let's pray about it. What do you say? 
E-70 Church member, just a--just a nominal church member, why don't you come up here, and let's get rid of it right now? I don't want to leave Birmingham here, and know that someday when the judgment comes up, and I've got to stand then before you. You remember, I'm going to meet you again. If I never meet you here on this... Or I'm going to meet you at the judgment. And I've got to answer for what I've said tonight.
Now, listen. Repent, friends. Repent; come out of it. Get out of there. Come on now. That ought to make every bobbed-haired woman in this country, this place, come up here now. That's exactly right. That--that you haven't got grace enough to really say, "I--I--I want to; I want to let my hair grow out, Brother Branham. It all... But I haven't got the grace to do it."
"Why," you say, "has that got anything to with it?" 
E-71 Here not long ago a real great minister come to me, said, "I want to lay hands on you, Brother Branham." Said, "Everybody regards you as a prophet."
I said, "I never said I was a prophet."
He said, "But the people regard you as that. You're always tearing into them about wearing shorts, and--and all the Pentecostal things," and said, "about wearing shorts and bobbing their hair and things." Said, "That's not your business."
I said, "Whose business is it then?"
And he said, "Them people, why don't you teach them women how to be--have great spiritual gifts and help people instead of trying to..." Said, "They regard you. What you tell them, they'd believe you." Said, "Why don't you tell them how to get great gifts and to help people, instead of always condemning them?"
I said, "How can I teach them algebra when they won't even learn their abc's? See? You've got to start from the bottom." Repent or perish! Now, you can suit yourself: repent or perish. 
E-72 Jesus Christ has thoroughly identified Himself here, night after night. This is the night we're turning over to this salvation. It's just a few steps up here, and I got plenty of time to wait.
Remember, Birmingham, your blood's not upon me. I'm innocent. If you've really got the Holy Spirit, you've got an opportunity to come now. If you're suffering with some kind of a churchanity that's caused you to have spiritual amnesia, why don't you come? Jesus is the Cure. Won't you come?
Now, some people left the balcony. I'm just waiting to see whether they were going out or coming to the altar. These down here, come on up around. That's right. You that are here, come stand around the altar. Say, "I'm finished with this." Yes, they were coming down: two ladies. That's fine. Come right on up now. Just a few steps from it, and them steps might mean the difference. 
E-73 Now, look, I want to ask you something. What if He does come tonight? What... Say, "He isn't coming?" I don't know whether He is or not. This is the last sign. Remember, THUS SAITH THE LORD. Did you ever hear me say that but what it was true? You're seeing your last sign. That's Scripture.
You've seen your last sign, Pentecost. Don't get mixed up now with what He promised Israel after the rapture. That ain't you. You're done then. See? Now's your day. Now's your sign. Now's your time. Don't reject it. Don't do it. You better come.
You believe me to be God's servant? Remember, Birmingham, I've never met nicer people. You're the nicest people I'd want to meet in my life. But you need a revival. You're dying. You're taking spiritual amnesia. You're dying. Don't do that. Revive that what you got. Bring it up again, quickly, before Jesus comes. 
E-74 All right. While they're keep coming, just let them keep coming, till we get all that the Lord's calling up here. Come now. Get rid of that amnesia. The Great Physician is here now to heal that, take it away from you. He's proved that He's here. How many will identify that by raising up your hands, say, "I truly believe it, that He said He'd do it." See? Now, He's here. See, see? You believe.
And how many knows that I'm telling you the truth, that you're dying and need a revival? See, it's true. You're fine people. You can't find no better, no better hearts beating under these old southern shirts down here (That's right.), real people. But folks, you'd better wake up right quick. In a hour that you think not, it might happen. It might not happen. I don't know. But remember, you're getting your last warning. So flee while you have time to flee. 
E-75 Come now. Long as they're coming, I'm going to keep waiting, because there might... One soul's worth ten thousand worlds. And as long as people are being convinced...
I'd like to see this break into a great big revival, that'd set every church around here till you break up your differences, and get all that selfishness away, and accept the Holy Ghost. You claim you believe it. You claim to believe it. And when He comes to identify Hisself, then you'll pull apart from one another. Why not join our hearts with God's Word...?... truth? That's what... You'll just keep on dying, dying. And you're going right out into Laodicea, exactly what He promised. It'll be that way. 
E-76 Won't you come now? Now is the day. Now is the accepted time. Watch what the Holy Spirit will do.
Now, I want all the ministers here, that's interested in these people, come, pray with me too. Come up here, all ministers that's interested in these people. Come, just come right around, get in among the people; a minister or a personal worker, a good personal worker, a woman that wants to stand with these women now...
I'm going to believe with all my heart that the Holy Ghost is going to come into this place right here now, and just identify Himself all among these people. 
E-77 Now, let me instruct these people here first. Now, friends, whatever you're here for, He knows. Now, I could prove it to you and take one by one, bring you up here on this platform, and there won't be one thing that He won't make known. Now, that's been since I was a little boy. That gift's not in question. But the question is, can you receive it? Do you believe it? Now, He's here. Well, if He's here, then there's only one thing: He keeps His Word. Then just believe that you receive it, and accept it, raise up and say, "Lord God, I'm here to accept it." And just stay there till it happens.
Like Buddy Robinson said one time in a corn field; he said, "Lord, if you don't give me the Holy Ghost, when You come back You'll find a pile of bones laying right here." He was dead earnest. And you're not going to get anything from God till you get desperate enough. 
E-78 Now, have you noticed today's crop? Have you noticed today, what we do? We actually... We got enough God about us till we--we come up to the platform, and we say, "Yes, maybe I'd better come up." Now, this is the experience of worldwide. "Yes, I better go up and stand, and..." Say, "Well, well, I don't know; here I am." See? Hmmm. What a place to be in.
There's no fire burning. There's no enthusiasm. There's not a go into it. And as an evangelist, that just kills me to see God's people in that shape. We're supposed to be on fire. But you see what is it? It's exactly what I told you in Revelations 3; you're lukewarm. And He said, "Because you're lukewarm, I'm going to spew you out of My mouth." That's right? That's what He said. And if He said that, that's what He's going to do. So let's not be that crowd. You're here, needy. Let's get it or die right here. That's right. Let's get it or die. 
E-79 Now. My dear brother and sister, if I could come down and help you do something, I'd sure do it. Now, by a gift I can tell you what you're here for. I can tell you what, by the Holy Ghost, by God's Spirit, tell you what you come for, what you've done, what will be the future, or something like that. But that don't take care of it. You've got to accept this yourself. It's got to be you.
Now, are you ready? Raise up your hands and say, "I'm ready. I'm ready to die right here." Now, don't do it unless you mean it. "I'm ready to die right here, or get what I want from God." Amen. Are you really ready? Then let the audience stand everywhere. 
E-80 Now, together, together let's unite ourselves together. Let's pray. And let's just... You ministers now, walk up to these people here, every one. And you're representing the hands of Christ now. You that wants the Holy Spirit, you that wants that experience, it's not an emotional excitement. You want the Holy Ghost, the Life, the germ of Life inside you, and you want to get rid of that amnesia that's making you so you can't identify yourself, you don't know where you stand, you don't know what you are. Let's get rid of it right now. There's a new birth here for you, a real genuine new birth.
Now, let's lay our hands over on these people. Let's everyone raise up our hands and pray with one accord. 
E-81 Heavenly Father, in the Name of the Lord Jesus, grant, Lord, that in Jesus Christ's Name that the Holy Ghost will come tonight, this Saturday night, where the Holy Ghost fell like a rushing mighty wind. May these people be baptized into the Holy Ghost. May the fiery and power of God not leave them. If they're here in the morning, may they stay, stay until the Holy Ghost...
That's the idea. That's it. There it is. That's the Holy Ghost coming. I done done it. That's all. Believe it now. Accept it. Be filled with His Spirit
