65-0426 - Proving His Word, Los Angeles, CA
L-210	Now, just for a moment, I want to know how many people in here that have prayer cards. I--I want you to raise your hands, each one of you that has prayer cards. Well, it's generally, I guess, just about all over.
I wonder how many people in here that does not have prayer cards, and yet you're sick, would you raise your hands and say, "I do not have a prayer card, and yet I am sick. I am needy." I want to ask you to be reverent for a moment.
L-211	Now, I love to talk to you. That's always my trouble; I talk too long. But before you come, I--I'd hope and trust that God will prove this, that what I've said to be the truth, and let--let Him just see.
L-212	Now, how many setting out there that's sick, that knows that I don't know one thing about you, raise up your hands. Just look at that. All right. 
L-213	I want you without the prayer cards now. The prayer cards will be called up. I want you to pray.
L-214	The Bible said that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He says, He's a High Priest setting there making intercessions upon our confession. We have to confess it first, before He can be a High Priest, 'cause He only intercedes to our confession. Is that right, minister brethren? See, He only intercedes upon our confession, what we confess that He is, what He has done for us, not what He will do. He's already done it. We have to confess that He's done it. "He was wounded for our transgressions; with His stripes we were healed." 
L-215	Now, the heavenly Father knows that looking upon you, is to see I recognize a good friend of mine from Ohio, him and his wife setting here, is Mr. Dauch and his wife. And I believe, setting second or third from them, is again that Reverend, Mr. Blair that I seen last night. It's dark over the audience, to me, account of these lights here is kind of a little blarry to me, and I--I don't see you too well.
L-216	But I want you to pray. And you put on your heart the thing that you have need of, and you ask our High Priest, Who can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities.
L-217	Now, me not knowing you, and you might just touch me all over, be like touching your brother, your husband, your pastor, someone, it wouldn't--it would do no good. But if you touch Him, and if we are truly in line with His Spirit, then He can use your faith to touch Him, and by a gift to speak back through.
L-218	See, I'd be just as mute as this, this is here, without a voice speaking to it. There's got to... This--this is a mute without something here to speak through it. And so is any person, is a mute, when it comes to these things, unless God speaks through them. 
L-219	Now, you pray, and let's see if these things that I have said is the truth. God, help it to be so. I don't say that He will. I hope that He will. I'm trusting that He will. He's never let me down yet, over the years, across and around the world, with all kinds of nations, and millions of people. He's never failed me yet. And I'm sure, just as sure as I believe I'm standing here, He won't fail me now.
L-220	I'm going to ask you just to be reverent and keep seated just for a few moments. We're going to dismiss the main audience and pray for the sick, just in a moment.
L-221	But I want you, you believers, that if you'll just not look to me, but believe, say, "I believe that what the man said is the Scripture. I don't know as we're as far up in the time as he says we are. But if it is, then it's got to happen.
L-222	If his Words are God's Words, then his words will fail but God's Words won't."
L-223	God's obligated to back up His Word. He'll prove It. He'll prove It. "He that believeth on Me..." He proved that this is the last day. He proved what would happen. He proved that this was supposed to happen. 
L-224	And remember, Abraham and his group never received one more sign from God, until the promised son arrived. How many knows that's true? That sign of discernment... And the royal Seed of Abraham, let me hear you, let me tell you. "THUS SAITH THE LORD, you're receiving your last sign." That's according to the Scriptures and the revelation of God that's in my heart, that speaks that this is the Truth. And I trust that you will believe it to be the Truth.
L-225	Now, you believe. Everybody just believe, say, "Lord Jesus, let me touch You. I have a need in my heart, and I know Brother Branham knows nothing about me. I don't even know the man; he don't know me, but You know. And if he's told me the Truth, this will happen." I ask you, don't move now, just for a little bit. Be real...
L-226	See, you're spirit. And I take every spirit in here under my control, in the Name of Jesus Christ, that His Word might be fulfilled.
L-227	Now, just be reverent. Pray. Look to Him; say, "Lord, I believe it. Help Thou my unbelief."
L-228	Let's start. I have to concentrate on some sort of the part of the building here, 'cause (See?) so many of you, and each one of you is a spirit. 
L-229	I cannot... You say, "What about me?" I could not tell you. It's sovereign. All the works of God is sovereign. There'll be many people healed crossing this platform tonight. There'll probably be many not. It's all in the sovereign of God. Who can tell Him what to do? No one. He works according to His own will, His own plan.
But you just believe. Be humble. Don't be nervous. Just reach out for God, and say, "Lord God, I believe it. (See?) 
L-230	Let me touch Your garment. I have need of such-and-such. I know the brother don't know me or know my need, but he told us that--about these things that You did, and say that You're here the same today."
L-231	That don't exclude you brethren here on the platform, any of you. I just ask you, my brethren, as fellow workers of the--of the Gospel of Christ. I speak to you just as sincerely as I know, as a--a dying man with you (See?) leaving this world. We've got to leave. And I must give an account at the day of judgment for what I say. I'm conscious of that, very conscious. And I appreciate you men, what you are, standing here with me, helping me. I'm just trying to help you, to do everything I can, for the Kingdom of God's sake. I'm praying and asking. 
L-232	Here, how many ever seen that Light in the picture? You seen the picture of It? There It hangs right there. Can't you see It? It's up over that lady setting there with her handkerchief. She's praying for a--a loved one. That's right, lady. That loved one... Do you believe me to be His prophet, or pardon me, His servant? You believe that? All right. Now, if God can reveal to me what's wrong, why, you will accept it to be from God, just as the woman that touched His garment? Now, you know you're--you're twenty or thirty feet from me, or more; you never touched me. But you've touched Something, that you know you're in contact with Something, someone. What it is, it's for a woman, which is your daughter. That's right. You believe that she'll be made well? She is a dope addict. That's exactly right. 
L-233	I see her swimming, drunk. See? Now, the handkerchief that you have in your hand, you place upon her, and don't doubt. I believe that God will deliver her. Will you believe it with me? Amen.
L-234	Now, I don't know the woman, but God knows her. Do you believe now with all your heart? 
L-235	The man setting up there with the striped shirt on, with a hernia, you believe that God would heal you and make you well? You believe that He will do it? I've never seen the man in my life. You have a prayer card, sir? You don't have? You don't need one. "If thou canst believe."
L-236	Here sets a woman trying to look over the top of this woman setting right here. She's a stranger to me. But she's real nervous. I don't know her. I've never seen her in my life. But God knows her, and she realizes right now she's in contact with Something. You've been praying there for some cause. The reason that you are, you can't stay no longer than tonight. You must leave the meeting. You're planning on going to your home, tomorrow. You're not from here, or neither are you from California. You're going east from here. You're going by air. You're planning, going by air. You're from Oklahoma. Yeah. That's right.
L-237	You are also in a dying condition. You come here to be prayed for. You do not have a prayer card. But you believed that you're going to be healed, if you could only get here. That's right. Also, your condition is cancer. The cancer is in the bone. Do you believe you're going to be healed now? You believe you're in contact with Him, my sister? Perhaps God will tell me who you are, then would that help you? If it is, raise up your hand if you believe that God--it would help you. All right, Mrs. Steel, you can return to Oklahoma, and be...?... I don't know the lady. I have never seen her. 
L-238	Here's a lady setting right back here behind her. She is suffering with varicose veins. And she's also got a son that's an alcoholic, and she's praying for him. If she'll believe, she can be healed. Mrs. Mason, will you believe with all your heart, and believe that Jesus Christ will grant the healing to you? You do?
L-239	All right, then lay your hand on that lady setting next to you there; she is praying for her husband that's unsaved. God will grant the healing. Let us pray.
L-240	Dear God, I pray that You'll grant that blessing to her. Give that woman the desire of her heart, Lord. Her faith is so close to You; it's touched You. And I pray, Father, that You'll help, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
L-241	Now, believe with all your heart, that you receive it. Will you do that? All right. God bless you.
L-242	Do you believe your husband is going to be saved, lady? Do you believe with all your heart? Raise up your hand, you do. 
L-243	There seems to be before me a woman that's very heavy. There she sets. You believe me to be God's servant? You believe me to be God's servant? You do? All right. I do not know you. What your trouble is, is glands. You're overweight. You've been to a doctor; he said he could do nothing about it; but that was an earthly doctor. See? You're... You just had a lot of sorrow. You've lost your husband. You're not from here. You're really from Arkansas. You're seeking work also, and you can't find work. You was afraid that something, you wouldn't get called. But your faith now has touched God. My sister, you go, believe. God give you a job, give you the desire of your heart.
L-244	God proves His Word to be true. You believe that to be so? Now, I just want you to pray with me again. 
L-245	Father, God, You are the same God that proved. When You said, "The girl is not dead; she's asleep," then You had to prove it. Now, You promised that just before the coming of the end time, that the Son of man would reveal Himself in the same manner He did at Sodom. You promised it, Lord. Now, you've come to the earth in the form of the Holy Spirit, and got among us tonight, we believing people, and have proved it. You've proved Your Word like You did that day. Lord, we need no more proof. You're among us. We love You. And we realize that this is the last sign just before Your coming, according to the Scriptures. And all the shadows and types never fail. They've got to be positive.
L-246	So we pray, Father, as Your children come now to be prayed for, that every one will be healed. May there not be a sick person left among us at the end of this healing service. O Dear God, will You let Your anointing be so graciously upon Your people just now, that every one of them may be healed.
L-247	And if there be some here, who is not Your children yet, and upon the basis of these things, that they have heard the Word and seen the thing done, just exactly proved to the very letter, and Who You are and what You are, that You're here...
L-248	And, Lord, would You--would You bless a lie? Why, certainly not, Lord. But You did promise to bless Your Word, and It would not return void. It would accomplish that which It was purposed for. And now You have did that before us tonight beyond any shadow of doubt. 
L-249	And with our heads bowed, is there people here that never have believed before, that would like to just raise up your hand? With your head bowed, just raise up your hand, and stand to your feet, and say, "I now believe, with all my heart. And I want to accept Jesus Christ right now." Would you do that, any people, any people that's here, that hasn't yet accepted Christ, and would want to do it at this time? I won't tell you... You go to the church of your choice. But I'm asking you to receive Jesus Christ while you... You'll probably never be no closer to Him until you see Him in Person when He comes in His visible body from the heavens. Will you now accept Him if you haven't already done it?
L-250	Upon basis of seeing no one here standing, I believe then all of you to be sane, sensible people, and realizing what you're doing. If you're setting there under this, you remember, "If you're ashamed of Me before men, I'll be ashamed of you before My Father." There was somebody standing up, maybe, yes, in the audience, in the back.
L-251	Dear God, those may, I not see, that's standing, they want to accept You. They realize, Lord, that this has not been done until this time, and now You confirm it and prove that it's so. I pray, Father, that in their hearts, that's strangely moved at this time... How do we know but what this is the last person to come in. This may be the end for Los Angeles. This may be the last soul that'll be born into the Kingdom. We don't know when that times comes. 
L-252	And when it does, the door will be closed; the Body will be complete. It will not be a freak body or a freak Bride. It'll just have so many members whose names were put on the Lamb's Book of Life before the foundation of the world, to which Jesus came to take like Adam, walk right out to save his wife. I pray, God, that You'll receive them now into Your Kingdom. They're in Your hands. Deal with them, Lord; I pray in Jesus' Name. Amen. 
L-253	God bless each one of you that stood. I didn't know some of you were standing. Some stood in the back, some up in the balcony. Now, I want you to do one thing for me. Please understand me. Meet some minister here and talk it over with them after the church is over. Will you do that? Don't let it fail. If you've never been baptized in Christian baptism, do that next, and then stay with your hands up until you receive the Holy Ghost.
L-254	Now, and many people has prayer cards here. We're going to ask them to stand, and come up here, and I guess, walk across. Or shall I have to come... I'll not be able to. From this side over here, can come out through this way, over on this side, the people who have prayer cards.
L-255	And now, if there's any of you that must go, it's... I'm late. I'm sorry. I'll try to do a little better tomorrow night. 
L-256	At... It's ten minutes after ten, by the clock on the wall. Thank you very much for your attendance tonight, and may the God of heaven bless you. If you'd like to stay and watch the prayer line, you're always welcome. But we're going to start praying for the sick now, and I don't want to hold you unless you want to stay. You're dismissed in the Name of the Lord Jesus. May God's peace go with you and bless you, and give you rest in your bodies through the night, and grant you good health so you can come back again tomorrow night. God be with you now. 
L-257	And let those who have prayer cards stand for prayer now, as universally we pray for the people. Now, we want you to know, now, you that's standing with a prayer card, is there any doubt in your life? Is there any, pardon me, any sin in your life that you haven't confessed? If there is, let me ask you this. Don't come into the prayer line with unconfessed sin in your heart. 'Cause you must... This is the children's bread. See? And if you're not a Christian, surrender your life to Christ in the prayer line, then come. It's for the believer. Will you do it? Accept Him first as your Saviour, and then come across the platform to be prayed for. 
L-258	Now, I'm going to pray for each individual; not just pass them by, like some kind of a routine. We're in a church now. I think Sister Wyatt has give us the reason that we can stay and pray... We can stay as long as we want to. And I thank Sister Wyatt and the staff here, for letting us do that. God bless her. Her gallant husband stood on this platform, prayed for sick, until he died, as far as I know, a real soldier of the cross. And now, I'm trying to keep on doing the same thing, bless this people.
L-259	And now I pray that each one of you comes apast us here... You don't have to confess anything that you want to. You don't have to say anything wrong with you. Just come and let me pray for you, and believe.
L-260	Do you believe that God has sent me to do this? Raise up your hand. Remember what the Angel of the Lord said? "If you get the people to believe you, be sincere when you pray, nothing shall stand before the prayer." And you know that's true. It's been proved over and over. 
L-261	Now, I'm going to ask that our Sister Rose, if she will, to play that, "Only Believe," or, "The Great Physician Now Is Near," or something.
L-262	I want each one of you now in--in fellowship with me. Will you, also, you people that's not in the prayer line, will you be praying for these people? Well, promise them that by raising up your hand, "I'll be praying. See? We'll all be praying." All right. Yeah.
L-263	I would that you would, if you have to leave, go real quietly now, so that they won't bother while we pray.
L-264	You believe it will be over now, sister? Dear God, I lay my hands upon sister, challenge the affliction of her body. In the Name of Jesus Christ, may it leave her. Amen. Bless you, sister.
L-265	You believe with all your heart? All your sins are confessed? You're, as far as you know, you're ready to receive your healing?
L-266	Dear God, I lay my hands upon my sister, in the Name of Your Son Jesus Christ, and ask that the affliction of her body will be gone, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
L-267	All sins are confessed, and you're ready for your healing? You believe, brother? Dear God, I lay my hands upon my brother, as we know that You're present here, Lord. I pray that You'll heal him, in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen. 
L-268	All sins confessed? No, you don't hear. [Brother Branham speaks slow and distinct because of the sister's deafness--Ed.] 
L-269	You believe that you will hear? You believe. The woman's deaf now. We will pray.
L-270	Dear God, I pray that You'll heal our sister, and take this deafness from her. She's setting in a closed-off world, where she cannot hear. I pray that You'll grant her healing, through Jesus' Name.
L-271	I'm going to ask the people to keep your head bowed, a minute. I want to see what's happened to her. Now, please, in Jesus Christ's Name, let no one raise their head or eyes. Now, you mustn't do that till I tell you to.
L-272	Can you hear me now? Hear me? [Brother Branham claps once more, and then again. "I can hear."] Hear me? ["Yeah."] Can you hear? She can hear now. [Brother Branham claps once more.] Hear that something?
L-273	Now, you believe with all your heart. You will? And you believe, and God will make you completely well. She said, if I just prayed and put my hands on her ears. And she said she could hear something. All right, just go on now believing that you're going to hear perfectly. You can hear. 
L-274	Is all sins confessed, sister? You're ready for your healing? 
L-275	Dear God, I lay my hands upon my sister, knowing that in us is no good thing in ourselves. But we know that we are Christians, borned of the Spirit of God. And we lay hands upon our sister and ask for her healing, in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen.
L-276	Now, you believe you're going to be healed? All right, now you--you are healed. That's the way to do it. That's right. Right.
L-277	All sins are confessed, and you're ready for your healing? You believe by laying on of hands, that the God Who knows the hearts of the people, will make you well? 
L-278	Our heavenly Father, I pray that You'll heal our sister, as we lay our hands upon her and ask in the Name of Jesus Christ that You'll make her well. Amen.
L-279	How do you do? Of course, you know I know what's wrong with you. But I'm just not saying it; 'cause, you do, it'll--it'll just keep on going on and on. But if you will... Is all sins confessed? And you believe that God will make you well? You believe the arthritis... I done said it. 
L-280	Dear God, I pray that You'll help her and make her well. Grant it, in Jesus' Name. You won't be crippled. Go, believe with all your heart.
L-281	You believe that God will make you well? All sins are confessed and you're ready for your healing? You believe your back will be all right? 
L-282	Dear heavenly Father, I pray that You'll heal her and make her well. In the Name of Jesus Christ, may it be so. Amen. God bless you, sister. Go, believing now. 
L-283	Is all sins confessed, sister, you're ready for your healing? 
L-284	Dear God, her sins, she says, is confessed. I lay my hands upon this woman, in the Name of Jesus Christ, ask for her healing. Amen.
L-285	Are all sins confessed? You must be right; you're very sick; you know that. You know that I know what's wrong with you. And do you believe that God will make you well, heal your heart and make you completely well? 
L-286	Dear God, I pray that in the Name of Jesus Christ, that You'll heal her and make her well. May this leave her, Father, in Jesus' Name. Amen. God bless you now. Don't doubt. Go, believing.
L-287	Sins all confessed? You're ready for healing? 
L-288	Dear heavenly Father, I lay my hands upon our sister. In the Name of Jesus Christ, may she be healed. Amen. Don't doubt it. Go, believing.
L-289	All sins confessed, you're ready for healing? 
L-290	Dear heavenly Father, I pray that You will heal our brother, will make him well. Grant it, Father. I lay my hands on him, for this purpose, in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen. God bless you. I believe it with all my heart.
L-291	Are you believing now, sister? All sins are confessed and you're ready for healing? Dear God, I lay my hands upon sister; in the Name of Jesus Christ, may she be healed for Your glory. Amen. 
L-292	Now, just many times like that, just a touch, as Jesus said, "These signs will follow them that believe. If they lay their hands on the sick." I've begin to notice in the meetings, that it takes effect fifty percent better than what it does when you call the people in line, have discernment, 'cause you only get to just a few. And this a-way, there's many more gets healed.
L-293	Have you confessed all your sins of unbelief and everything? You believe now that you're going to be healed? 
L-294	Dear God, I pray that You'll heal our sister as I take her hand and ask in the Name of Jesus Christ for her healing. Amen. God bless you, sister.
L-295	Do you believe now? All sins are confessed? 
L-296	Dear God, I lay my hands upon our sister, in the Name of Jesus Christ, for her healing. Amen. God bless you, sister.
L-297	Seems like a very small thing, but it's God Who promised it. Sins are confessed? 
L-298	Dear God, I pray that You'll heal this our sister. As I lay hands upon her in the Name of Jesus Christ, may she go and be well. Amen.
L-299	Sins are confessed? 
L-300	Dear God, I pray that You'll heal our sister, as I lay hands upon her, in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen. 
L-301	Now, as you come with the mechanics, may it strike the Dynamics; it'll go to work.
L-302	Sins are confessed and you're ready? Dear God, I pray that You'll heal her and make her well, in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen. God bless you, sister.
L-303	All sins confessed now? Dear God, as this woman looks me in the eye, I believe that. I pray that You'll heal her, in Jesus' Name.
L-304	You just bringing her, are you, sister? You're just bringing her? All right. 
L-305	You believe, sister, that God will make you well? [The blind sister says, "I believe God could give me eyesight again."] God bless you. 
L-306	Heavenly Father, You're always merciful to the blind, and to the needy. Now, they have seen what You've done tonight. So we believe, Lord, this great last sign moving among us now. I ask for this blind woman's sight to come to her, in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen.
L-307	Now, report this now. Report it. [The one who brought the blind sister, request prayer--Ed.] 
L-308	Oh, yes, you believe that God will heal you? 
L-309	Dear heavenly Father I lay my hands upon our sister and ask that You heal her, in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen. 
L-310	God bless you, sisters. 
L-311	Let us hear how you are, how you get along. 
L-312	You believe, sister? 
L-313	O dear heavenly Father, I pray for our sister, trusting that You'll heal her now. I lay my hands on her, in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen. Now, believe. That's right. Just go believing.
L-314	You believe, brother? All sins confessed? 
L-315	Dear God, I pray that You'll heal our brother and make him well, in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
L-316	You believe, sister? 
L-317	O God, I pray that, in Jesus Christ's Name, humbly, in the sweetness and meekness of this hour, may the Holy Spirit make this woman whole. [The sister says, "And I ask, pray for my son. I haven't seen him for twenty years."--Ed.] I pray that God will send your son to you, sister, dear. God bless you. 
L-318	Dear Father, I pray for our sister here. In the sweetness of the Holy Spirit, may He come now and heal our sister, in Jesus' Name. Amen. Bless you, sister.
L-319	Dear God, I pray for my brother, as he stands here and I lay hands upon him, and ask for his healing, in Jesus' Name. Bless you, my brother. All right.
L-320	Little boy? 
L-321	Dear God, laying hands upon the little one, I bless him in the Name of Jesus Christ, for his healing.
L-322	You believe now, sister? You want to be prayed for too? 
L-323	Dear God, I pray for her, as I lay hands upon her. Now, this is Your commission; that's what You said do, "These signs shall follow them that believe. If they lay their hands on the sick, they shall recover." You said it would be. Now, He said that, didn't He? Has to be that way, sister.
L-324	Dear God, I pray that You'll heal our sister and make her well, in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen. God bless you, sister. 
L-325	You've come believing, sister? Dear heavenly Father, I ask Your blessings on our sister, just obeying what You said do. You said, "These signs shall follow them that believe. If they lay their hands on the sick," You said, "they shall recover."
L-326	May I stop here just a moment to say in this, just to let the people rest a moment, just for a moment. A critic once said to me, that isn't so. But, you see, He said, "These signs shall follow."
L-327	You've heard my message on the--on "The Trial," putting Jesus on trial. 
L-328	See, He told Noah, "It was going to rain." It never rained for a hundred and twenty years, but it rained anyhow. He told Abraham he'd have a son by Sarah. It was twenty-five years later. He never said when. He said they'd have the son. Twenty-five years later it happened. See?
L-329	He didn't say when. He said, "The prayer of faith shall save the sick. God shall raise them up. If they lay hands on the sick, they shall recover." Is that what He said? He didn't say He'd jump up and do it right then. He said, "They shall recover." See? That's His promise. That's what we believe. 
L-330	Come, sister. You believe that to be true? Then there's no way to keep you from being healed. 
L-331	I lay my hands upon sister, in the Name of Jesus Christ, for her healing. Amen.
L-332	You believe, sister? All sins confessed and ready? 
L-333	Dear God, I lay my hands upon sister, in obedience to Your commandment, and ask for her healing, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
L-334	I want you that's being prayed for, I want you to do me a favor. I want you to report before these meetings are over what happens; and just let the audience, the other people, see what really takes place. Maybe tomorrow, next day, or when, you just watch what takes place.
L-335	My mail has showed that it's a--it's so much different than just to letting them try to test their own faith. Because Jesus said, "They lay hands upon them. They lay hands upon them; they shall recover." Now, get what He said. He didn't say they'd jump up and run up-and-down the floor. They could do that. But He said, "They shall recover." Is that what He said? That's what He said. That's what I believe. And He's here now; the One that said the Word is here to make it so. 
L-336	You believe, sir? Dear heavenly Father, upon the confession of his faith and believing, I lay my hands upon him, in Jesus Christ's Name, for his healing.
L-337	Dear God, I lay my hands upon this woman, in the Name of Jesus Christ, for her healing. All right.
L-338	Dear Father, I lay my hands upon this woman, in the Name of Jesus Christ, for her healing. You said, "She shall recover."
L-339	Ready for healing, sister? 
L-340	Dear God, I lay my hands upon her, in the Name of Jesus Christ, that You heal her.
L-341	All right, sister, dear, everything ready for healing? 
L-342	Your faith has now been met, you believe you're going to be well? 
L-343	And, God, I lay my hands upon her in obeying Your commandment, "To all the world, every creature." I lay hands upon her, in Jesus' Name, for her healing...?... 
L-344	Dear God, I lay my hands upon my brother, in the Name of Jesus Christ, for his healing.
L-345	Dear God, I lay my hands upon my sister, in the Name of Jesus Christ, for her healing.
L-346	[Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... going down the aisle. I just didn't want to worry you. You'll be all right if you'll believe that now. 
L-347	Dear God, I pray that You'll heal my sister, in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
L-348	[Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... to help me pray for these people. 
L-349	Now, we got some handkerchiefs here, and so forth, in here to be prayed over. And I want you to continue to pray with me now. Now, these little parcels... Now, I know this sounds very strange for people to pray over a little thing like this. But if you could only come into my office once and just watch... If we had kept testimonies through these years, I suppose you couldn't have piled on this platform, that's been healed just by sending out these prayer cloths like this, millions of them, around and around the world. Now, you know what it is--it is?
L-350	Somebody get that handkerchief there for that--that young... You'll know your handkerchief, will you, brother? All right.
L-351	And I have seen little, crippled children healed. And you see, what it is, it's just a point of contact, as Oral Roberts used to say. It's just a point of contact. We pray. Now, we don't do this ourselves; we do this because the Bible commissions us to do this. We all know that's true.
L-352	Now, there's many people that they anoint handkerchiefs and so forth. Well, now, we think that's all right, sure, but if we just... 
L-353	The Bible didn't say that they anointed handkerchiefs, but they took from the body of Paul handkerchiefs. Now, see what I was talking about? Now, what they seen, that quickening power that was in Paul, that they knew he was God's servant, they knowed that God was in him. They knowed that everything that he touched was blessed. How many understands that, say, "Amen." [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] 
L-354	You know, I think Paul was quite Scriptural in what he done. Don't you think so? You want me to tell you where I think he got the idea of doing it? [Someone says, "From Elisha."--Ed.] From Elisha, is right. See, Elisha said, "Take this staff and go lay it on the baby." And the prophet sent the staff because he knowed that everything that he touched was blessed. He knew his position. He... If he could just get the woman to believe the same thing...
L-355	Now, see, now, the Bible never even said, "They shall pray for the sick." It said, "They shall lay hands on the sick." 
L-356	Now, just think, the people seen in the apostle Peter, the Presence of God manifested in this man; insomuch that they--they even laid the people in his shadow, and they were healed. How many knows that's Scriptural? That's just as much Scripture as John 3:16. See? It's all God's Word. Now, the people, you know the shadow of that man did not heal the people.
L-357	But look, if the power of God was upon that prophet, for years and years after he died, insomuch that a dead man was throwed on his body, his bones... The body wasn't even there; the bones was there. And the Presence of God was upon those bones, until that dead man come to life. 
L-358	Now, don't you know that that same God that did all those things is right here tonight? To--to me, I think we should be the most happiest people in all the world. Just think of this.
L-359	I--I hope that I haven't impressed my audience to believe that it's something that I do myself. You--you know better than that. I, I am your brother (See?), and I am just your brother.
L-360	But I do know, I do know this, that God is here. And I know that He has given something to us, that we cannot explain it, only by the Word of God, claims that it should be here at this time. So it also gives us identification to know that we're living in the last days. It gives us identification to know that this people, this chosen, elected, called-out, predestinated...
L-361	Now, that's a big word, "predestinate," but we all know that it's the truth. We absolutely know that the infinite God predestinated all things by foreknowledge before the foundation of the world, even the Lamb was slain; and every name that would ever be on the Book, was put on the Book before the Book was ever written. Now, how many knows that's true?
L-362	And Jesus came to--to redeem those that were in the Book. In the Bible, the Lamb came from behind the curtain, and taken the Book, and opened the seals that It was sealed with, for He came to claim all He had redeemed. He's the Intercessor now, an Intercessor making intercessions for those who He has redeemed. All whose name was written on the Lamb's Book of Life, is redeemed. 
L-363	As I made a crude little statement the other night... I'm waiting for you--all to get these handkerchiefs here. I'm not just trying to preach over again, but I said there was a little statement... I hope this don't sound sacrilegious. See? But like the farmer that set the hen, and didn't have enough eggs, so he got a eagle egg, and he set it under the hen and she hatched out an eagle. And he was a very odd fellow amongst all the chickens, because they didn't see things alike. But that's all he ever seen, was the hen. He only heard one voice; it didn't sound like his voice. Neither could he make a voice like the hen or the chicken. He didn't appreciate their diet, as they eat from the barnyard. There was something different about him, yet he didn't know what the difference was.
L-364	And then one day, there was the mother eagle that knowed she'd laid so many eggs. And there was one of those eggs, which was to be her son, was missing. So she went hunting for him, and she found him in the barnyard. And she screamed. And when she screamed, the little eagle knew the voice of the mother. As Jesus said, "My sheep know My Voice." 
L-365	I think, last night, when I seen that panel of Baptists, Presbyterian, and whatmore, they might've been brought out under a hen. Excuse me, brother. See? But Mother knew she had Her darlings out there somewhere. So them men standing there, not disputing the feeding they'd got from the mother hen, and so forth, but now they're eagles (You see?); they fly for their food. See?
L-366	And I think the church is something like a scene I seen not long ago, coming down from Tucson, or from--from Phoenix, going to Tucson. I saw a mysterious sight. And it kinda broke my heart, to see what had taken place, how a hawk, that used to fly in the air, a brother to the eagle, which is a type of the church...
L-367	And Jehovah is the Eagle. He called His prophets eagles. He called Himself Jehovah Eagle. 
L-368	But this hawk has long lost its identification, because it doesn't no more sail through the air and hunt its meat like it's supposed to. But it sets on the telephone wires and acts like a scavenger. He--he hunts for dead rabbits that the cars has killed, and him and the vultures get out there and eat together. He hops like a vulture, instead of walking like he should walk. He's lost his identification.
L-369	And I say this with all godly love and respect, the church has long lost her identification as a sister eagle. She sets around. Instead of digging into the Word and find where these things are right, she waits for a bunch of Sunday school literature that's been made up by a bunch of intellectuals somewhere, some dead rabbit that's been killed somewhere else, hops like a vulture. God, help us to fly away from that.
L-370	These promises are true. Not what somebody said about It, but what God said about them. They are true. I'm so glad to be associated with eagles. 
L-371	Let us pray together for our sick ones. Dear heavenly Father, it is taught in the Bible that they taken from the body of Paul, handkerchiefs and aprons, and demons went out of people, and unclean spirits left them. Now, Father, me standing here over these handkerchiefs, represents every person that's present. It's the Body of Christ, us together. We are claiming by grace and love, that we are here to represent His Bride, and believing, associate with Him in His Kingdom. And we know we're not Saint Paul, but we know You're still Jesus.
L-372	And we pray that You'll honor the faith of these people. If they'd have lived back in the days of Paul, they'd have heard this same Gospel, seen these same things. Therefore, they're the same kind of people. You're the same God. So I pray, dear God, that You'll honor their faith, like You did those in the Bible days. And may every demon power, every sickness, every affliction, that's bound the people that these handkerchiefs and parcels here represent, may that evil power of sickness leave them. 
L-373	It was said one time, that Israel was walking in the line of duty to a promised land. And right in the line of duty, the enemy come and backed them up in a corner, and the Red Sea cut them off from the line of duty and in their march. And God looked down from the heavens through the Pillar of Fire, and the sea got scared. It rolled back its waves, because God's waves was in the bottom of the sea. And It made way for His children, walking in the line of obedience.
L-374	Now, God, if the Red Sea would get scared, and roll back its waves, roll back its waters, and give place to a journeying children marching in obedience, dear God tonight look down through the Blood of Your Son Jesus, Who made the promise. And when these handkerchiefs are placed upon the sick bodies of the people, may the eyes of God look. And may that sickness, that devil, be scared and move away. And may the people keep the journey to the promised land, with good health and strength. As Israel marched through the wilderness, there wasn't one feeble person among them at the other end. May it be granted to these people, Father, for we send these handkerchiefs, in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen. 
L-375	3God bless you, each one. As you get your handkerchiefs now, you believe with all your heart. Do you believe that God hears this? See? I--I want to say this. Don't, don't doubt one bit. See, it may seem real strange. (Excuse me, just a minute.) Don't doubt one bit, but believe now that, what we have asked, God gives.
L-376	Do you believe that's God here, knows the secret of your heart? You know and believe that's God? Now, just settle your mind now; it can't be nothing else. See?
L-377	Now, what if there would be a great tomorrow, way years ago this will be history. And when people in years to come, if it was to be such, they'd come and say, "Well, if I'd have been living then, I'd seen that done, boy, that's all I would've had to know. I'd have believed it right then." See, the same thing that you believe, if you'd been back there when they done it then. Remember, it's still Him. It's His Life in you. God bless you. 
 65-0427-Does God Change His Mind, Los Angeles, CA
L-224	Now, for the audience. I do this not for a show, friends. Now, stop thinking that. Remember, I get your thoughts. How many knows that's true and sees it?
L-225	Here is a woman that I--I've never seen. I don't know one thing about the woman. We're probably born miles apart and years apart, and here we stand here tonight. We're strangers to each other. I don't know you. Now, I have no idea. Here, here's a--here's Saint John 4 again, a--a man meets a woman. Now, I'm not Jesus and she's not that woman. But here's just similar. And He said, "The works that I do shall you do also." Now, I don't know. It takes this woman's faith to do it. I don't know nothing about her. But now, if I have told that which is truth, then God's obligated to make the--say this is right. Now, not knowing you, if God of heaven, and I have told the truth...
L-226	Do you believe that what I said about that is the Truth? You accept that to be true? You believe that? I wouldn't stand here before this Holy Bible and try to mislead someone, a man of my age, and know I've got to meet God yonder at the judgment bar. We've got to stand there someday. We know that.
L-227	Now, if God can reveal to me, something in your life, that you know that I don't know nothing about, 'cause I don't know you. If anything, it would have to be something in your life I would know nothing about, have to be come from a supernatural power. And then it'd be up to you, what you thought the power was. 
L-228	Now to you newcomers. Now, I hold my hand. Now, please don't walk around right now, 'cause (See?) you're each a spirit. When I turn, you just feel like a--a pull from everywhere. See, you're--you're human beings and got spirits. And you are a spirit. If you're not, you're dead. So you just respect, just for a moment.
L-229	And you men here, pray. I wasn't expecting this, never come for this tonight at all. I come just to pray for the sick. But that's the newcomers. 
L-230	Now, you believe that? If the Lord can tell me what your trouble is, or what you're here for, something you have done, or ought to have done, or--or something else, then you will believe? All right. I'm trying to contact your spirit. You see? That's what I'm trying to do. Like He did the woman at the well, He talked to her a little bit. See? He was asking for a drink. And that's what I'm trying to do, is get your mind, not reading your mind; but trying to as He did, perceive your thoughts.
L-231	You're here for a stomach condition. You got a stomach trouble. That's right. Raise your hand if that's true. You believe now? Not only that, but you're hungering for something else. You want the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Wave your hand if that's true. See? I seen that Light move down on her, and then move back. See? Go and receive the Holy Ghost, sister, in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen. 
L-232	Do you believe now, newcomer? Now, you say... Now, here (See?) when that anointing once gets started, then here It goes. See, just as soon as the woman standing, there she is, she's right now... She recognizes there's Something around her.
L-233	How many ever seen the picture of that Pillar of Fire, that Light there? At Washington, D.C... See? Now, I wish... It's another dimension like. I'm looking right at It. There It hangs right here by the woman. I'm looking right at It.
L-234	Now, I'm a total stranger to this woman. I don't know her. And I doubt very much whether she knows me, only just by being out in the meeting. That's all. But if God can tell me something about you, or something like just awhile ago, would you believe me to be His prophet, His servant? You'd believe that with all your heart? Well, may He grant it. 
L-235	You are--you're facing an operation, and that operation is about your hand. There's no places on them, but it's a nerve condition in your hand. That was caused by an accident, and you're supposed to be operated on. You believe, and you won't have to be operated on if you'll just believe with all your heart. Amen. You believe, and you'll get well. 
L-236	Just--just have--just have faith now. Just don't doubt. Just believe. Now, here, let this one more woman, 'cause this woman is in a critical condition. You see that black shadow? How many ever seen the picture taken of the black shadow of death? It's hanging over the woman right now. If God don't help her, she can't live. She has a tumor. And the tumor's in the brain.
L-237	Dear God, if You're presence, so close now, that knows all these things, I pray, dear God, that You'll heal our sister. Let her live, Father, for Your glory. I ask in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen. 
L-238	How do you do? You're a mighty nice person. If mother had lived, she'd have been about your age, I suppose. She's in glory tonight. She'd always pray for me when I went to meeting. I said to the Lord... Ma'am? ["I'm eighty-five."--Ed.] Eighty-five years old... Bless your heart, sister.
L-239	Now, I am a total stranger to you, I suppose. We're years difference in our age. And I don't know you. I've never seen you. We're just two people met here on earth, but you are a Christian. You're a believer. 'Cause the reason I know that, is the feeling of your spirit. You're--you've welcomed me. See? And I do believe it to be the Holy Spirit, 'cause It gives the works and actions of the Holy Spirit. See? And I know It's Him. I know this thing that we speak of is true. Now, I know it's the truth. 
L-240	Now, I don't know what would be wrong. But if the Lord Jesus would reveal to me what would be wrong with you, would--you would know whether it was right or not, or tell me something that you've done, or ought not have done. You'd believe it was that same Lord Jesus, same God that could tell Philip where he was, tell Simon what His name was? Do you believe Him to be the same One?
L-241	Your trouble is a bowel trouble. That's exact. Isn't that right? You believe me now to be His prophet? Your name is Mrs. Bayer, Mrs. Bayer; Bayer, like Bayer aspirin. That's right. You're healed. Go on, Jesus Christ make you well. God bless you.
L-242	You believe with all your heart? Now, if you just have faith, don't doubt... 
L-243	Now, you're really not here for yourself. You're here for somebody else. It's a man, and he's not here, a brother. That brother is in a mental institution. Take that handkerchief you got in your hand, while the Spirit is on you; send it to him. Put it on him; don't doubt; he'll come out of the institution and be well. Do you believe it? God bless you.
You say that... "You said that Angel in the last day there He had His back turned. Are you look..."
L-244	I won't look at this woman. I turn my back. Now, lady, the one that's the patient, can you hear me, say, "yes." If the Lord Jesus will reveal to me what's your trouble, when I'm looking this way, you'll know whether it's the truth or not. Is that right? You believe then it's to fulfill what Jesus said, "It would be done in the last days, as it was in the days of Sodom"? Will you believe it? You have a lady's disorder, a female trouble. Believe with all your heart now; it'll leave and you can go home, be well. God bless you.
L-245	"If thou canst believe..." 
L-246	You believe God will heal that heart trouble? Well, just keep on walking, saying, "Thank You, Lord." Believe and you won't...?...
L-247	Get up of a morning, you can hardly move. Arthritis is a bad thing, but Jesus Christ is the Healer of arthritis. You believe that? When you step off of a curb, sideways, going down... I see you doing that. You won't have to do that no more, if you'll believe. You believe that I was sent for this purpose? Then in the Name of Jesus Christ, may it leave her.
L-248	You got stomach trouble. You believe God will let you go home, eat your supper, feel good about it? Go on your road; eat your supper; believe and you'll feel fine.
L-249	You have a weakness comes over you (That's right.), because your heart's bad. That's right. You don't have it no more now. Go, believe it.
L-250	What if I didn't say one word to you, and just laid hands on you, would you believe me too--that you'd get well? Come here.
L-251	Dear heavenly Father, I pray that You'll heal the woman and make her well, through Jesus Christ's Name. Amen. 
L-252	How many people here believe, how many of you newcomers, all you people?
L-253	Just think, and I can't hardly see the people coming now. Just remember, one vision caused the Lord Jesus to get weak. How many knows that? One woman touched Him. Daniel saw a vision and was troubled at his mind, his head, for several days. How many knows that? See? All right.
L-254	Now, how many of you people believe that, that this is the Holy Spirit? Do you believe it with all your... Not me now, the Holy Spirit. Now, here's men setting here that believe that too.
L-255	Now, some, now some more of you people that's got them prayer cards, I want everybody that's going to be in this prayer line, stand up to your feet just a moment. 
L-256	Now, look, I want to ask you a solemn question. Have you confessed all your sins that is there? You believe? Have you confessed, and you--you believe that you're going to be healed? You've confessed all your sins and made all the wrongs right? Raise up your hands, if you have, before God, you believe that.
L-257	And now, with your hands up also, do you believe it takes the Holy Spirit, and this is the Holy Spirit that's just a vindicating Himself among you? You believe that with all your heart? You do? Then every one of you can be healed.
L-258	Now, do you have faith and confidence in these ministers setting here? Do you believe them men too? How about let's pray for you, each one, and then let you come by and lay hands on you.
L-259	This makes me so weak, that I just go on like that, it just--it just gets me.
L-260	And I just--I'm going to South Africa after this. For, oh, my, you know how it is down there where you can't even talk to the people, and there'd be... We're at least expecting three hundred thousand, one single meeting.
L-261	So you just believe. You're here in America; you've seen It in and out. 
L-262	Dear God, these people are needy. And I don't know nothing else that You could do, Father, to prove to them by Your Word, that You're the unchanging God. I believe that we have seen so many great things, Lord, and ate from Your table, with such dainty, wonderful eternal Food of Life, till we become--it become too accustomed to It. It--it becomes a common thing. We're not, we don't approach It right, Lord, when we see... Even I think of myself standing here, I should be on my knees, knowing that right here that Spirit that raised Him up from the dead is standing right here. The Spirit was on Him when He was living here on earth is right here now. And we, poor unworthy sinners, through His grace and mercy He bought our lives. And here we are, today, carrying on His work, as He said that we would carry on His work. "The works that I do shall you do also." Promising these things and proving them, here in this world, Lord, I am so grateful to You, that I could be counted a part of the people of Yours in this last day.
L-263	Dear God, these people are standing. They're sick, Father. I have no way of healing them. And neither do You now; You've already healed them. You were wounded for our transgressions, with Your stripes we were healed. So, Father, I pray that each one of them passing through here, when we're going to pray for them, that they'll come like they were walking under the cross. For they know, beyond a shadow of doubt, the a-vindicated Holy Spirit is here on the platform. The Christ of God is right in the meeting. Forgive every sin. Take away every unbelief. And may each of them be healed as they pass through this line. In the Name of Jesus Christ, I ask it. Amen. 
L-264	[A brother says, "Brother Branham, if we can have everyone sit, and take one section at a time, that way then they won't crowd."--Ed.] Yeah. All right.
L-265	Now, I want to ask something. Will you, my brethren, stand here with me? You see, here's one thing about it. Many evangelists goes into a city, and they do all the praying for the sick, and all the rest of it. And when the congregation, when it's gone, the--the--the people's only built around the evangelist. See? That isn't so, people. These men, I doubt anyone in this age... I know it, there's a lot of impersonation, but I won't say what I was going to. But these men might not do that, that's true, and I very much doubt it.
L-266	But they're just as ordained of God to lay hands on the sick, as I or anybody else. God's just as much to answer their prayer, as He would be to any prayer there is. Jesus has commissioned, "These signs," didn't say will follow William Branham, Oral Roberts, so forth, "it'll follow them that believe." And these men are filled with God's Spirit. 
L-267	They're baptized people, with the same Holy Spirit. That Spirit was here doing that work just a few moments ago, He's still here. He's on each one of these men (See?), and they're all filled with It. So I'm going to ask them to make a double line along here on the sides of this row here, if they will, so that they can lay their hands upon the sick too, as they pass through. 
L-268	And they want those who have prayer cards to stand, prayer cards only, to stand out in the aisle. And the rest of you pray, just a few minutes now. Stand, on each section, just stand right out to your left of your section. Stand out, to your section, and then they'll just call you. When you see this line up here ending, let this line walk right into it. When this line ends, let this one walk into it.
L-269	And when you come by, now, remember, you'll just be taking a walk unless you're believing. How many of you know, you just feel in your heart, that you've prayed through about this, and you're going to be healed as soon as you pass through this line? Raise up your hand, say, "I accept it, Christ, right now, just because You commissioned these things." 
L-270	Now, I pray for every one of you. We're going to pray. I'm going to ask Sister Rose or ever who's at the organ over there, Sister Rose, will you please play "The Great Physician Now, Is Near," for us. And let the people, all the other people, be in prayer. And as they pass through this prayer line, I believe every one is going to be healed. God bless you. The rest of you now keep your head down, and be praying for others.
L-271	Be real sincere. See, that's how that little Baptist preacher got the Holy Ghost the other night. He was thinking about it, just setting there, real sincere, and It fell upon the whole group of them. You got to be sincere with God. 
L-272	Now, He's proved He's here with you. He is here. Now, when anybody tells you that this is just a bunch of excitement, you know better now, don't you, you newcomers? He vindicated Himself; it's Him. And no one else could do that. This hasn't been done for--since the days of the apostles. It's just now come back to the church, as was promised. The Lord bless you now.
L-273	Now, you people, as you pass through this line, come, praying. Everybody now, "The--the great Physician now is near, the sympathizing Jesus." Now, when you come, come with your heads down, in reverence. Pass by, and these men lay hands on you, you'll be healed.
L-274	... -est note in seraph......?... but it's all right tomorrow night... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... these things, but just a simple thing of obeying what God said do. I've seen it happen so many times. You see, the Scripture didn't even command us to pray for the people; It just said, "Lay hands on the sick; they shall recover." 
L-275	Just recently, oh, it's... I don't say recently. The case was in my mind now. It's been about three or four years ago, or more. We was right here in California. Two women came by there, one of them had a--a--a growth on her face, and the other one had a stomach trouble. And they believed it just so. I laid hands upon them and said, "Now, I do this in the Name of the Lord Jesus."
L-276	It was almost a month later. That lady was trying to eat with that stomach trouble, she just couldn't do it. One morning, "a real cool feeling went over her," she said, and she went to eat. And she run down to tell her neighbor, and her neighbor was shaking the sheets, like that, trying to find the growth that had left her face that night.
L-277	See, just believe, friends. If He does that for one, He'll do it for all. And it's just a simple thing of laying on of hands. And that's what He said do. We don't know how it works. I don't know how it works. It's just His promise. He said it would do it. And I've found tens of thousands around the world; they just get well. God promised to do it, and it's His promise. See, we just believe that. 
L-278	Now, we're all coming over here. You that couldn't get up, move right up close, and we're coming over to pray for you. Now, I want each one of you men to go right along here, laying your hands in here, if you will, right along there. And I want to stand here and pray, and then come lay my hands on them too. All right, get right in here. You all move right up close, so everybody can reach them now.
L-279	Dear God, in Jesus Christ's Name, we're praying for these people, some of them are afflicted, crippled. There them hands of those ministers, Lord, are going back and forth from one to the other. I pray that You'll heal each one of them, Lord. Let the Holy Ghost come upon them people, each of them, Father. And may the great power of God overshadow them just now, and may they go home and be well, knowing this, that Jesus said, "If they lay their hands on the sick, they shall recover." You promised it, dear God. We are believing it. We are believing it, because You said so, and we know that it's so, so shall these people be well. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I bless them all. Amen. 
L-280	God bless you. [Brother Branham and ministers lay hands on the sick. Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... my heart accept healing for every one of you. I believe that. Will you believe it with me, each one of you now? That's all. I told you the truth, just as far as I know it. I love you, and God bless you. And I--I believe with all my heart, you're going to be well. And may my blessings be with each one of you now. May God watch over you and protect you. You're in my prayers. Will you pray for me while I'm in Africa like that? I--I--I love you. And I'll see you tomorrow night.
