Now, we're going to pray for the--the letters. And now, when you get these letters, now place the handkerchief on your underneath garment. (Put it on your underneath garment.) If there's any sin in your life, ask God to forgive you. And ask if--if anything that you had done wrong, go make it right. And if there's... If your pastor believes in healing, have him there with you. But if there's no--no pastor near, get some of the Christians in the neighborhood in, and pray, and believe, and then act as if it's already done. You remember, that faith without works is dead. It will do you no good. [Acts 19:12], [James 2:17]

See, Jesus is the High Priest of our confession. He can't do nothing for you, till first you accept it and confess that it's already done. And He will make your body, your nature, come in subject to His Word. Do you understand now? You must act just like it's already done.
I remember when I was so sick, the best doctors I knew of, they said I couldn't live. I had stomach ulcers that was bursted. And they said that one mouthful of solid food, I would take acute indigestion and would die in a few moments. I was reading the Bible. He said, "When you ask anything, believe you receive it." [Hebrews 4:15], [Mark 11:24]

I'd go down the street. They'd say, "Hello, Brother Branham. How you feel?"
I'd say, "The Lord has healed me. Praise the Lord."
Here'd come a big mouthful up; I'd swallow it back. I said, "Satan, if you don't like to hear me testify, you might as well go, for I believe Jesus told the truth. So if you want to stay around, you'll sure hear me testify of His healing power."
The first thing you know, it was all gone. And when I went to show the doctor, he said, "Well, did you change doctors?"
I said, "Yes, sir."
He said, "Who are you... be... going to now?"
I said, "Doctor Jesus."
He said... He scratched his head; he said, "I don't believe I ever heard of Him." Said, "Where is His office?"
I said, "In glory." That's where His office is, but His power is here.

Now, what if your little baby was sick? What if this was for your old blind father? You'd want somebody to be real sincere. Now, you be sincere, and I'll be sincere, and Jesus will keep His promise.
Shall we pray. Dear heavenly Father, we bring these to You tonight in the Name of Thy Son. And we pray, Father, that You'll look down from heaven just now, and see the faith of this people. And as these handkerchiefs return to--to the ones that have sent them, we pray, that You will heal their bodies. Now, we ask this blessing in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen.
Now, we will read the Scripture from Saint John 14: 1 to 9, including 9.
[The interpreter reads this Scripture--Ed.] [Acts 19:12]

Job of old, he said something on this order, "If I could only go to His house and knock on His door." His heart was hungering for God, and God revealed Himself to Job. As all through the age, people are trying to see God. Do you believe that God can be seen? I believe He can. And if I can prove that tonight, would you accept Jesus as your Saviour and believe that He's here? Will you do it? God bless you.
Now, we have to hurry. Tomorrow night--or Sunday night rather, I'll try to take a little time to speak to you. And Sunday afternoon is my boyhood's life story. [John 14:8], [Job 23:3]

Now, like when--when Elijah was down at Dothan, he had a servant with him named Gehazi. And Gehazi didn't see visions, but Elijah saw visions.
He would be in his house, and he would know what the King of Syria was going to do. So one day they were... One night they were asleep down at Dothan, and when Gehazi got up early the next morning, he went out, and all the armies of Syria had surrounded the city. And he came running in and said, "All around the city is surrounded."
But the prophet, cool, white, said, "there's more of us, than there is of them."
He looked around; Gehazi did; he couldn't see nothing. Elijah put his hands forth and said, "God, open this man's eyes." [II Kings 6:14-17]

Jesus said in the Psalms by the King David, that the Angels of God are encamped about those who fear Him.
So look at the believers here, those who fear God, so the Angels are everywhere. Now, if you can just worship God, and open our eyes, you'll find out that God's all around us. [Psalms 34:7]

Sometime ago on the plate--of my home city, there was a little boy. He used to stay down at the river all the time with an old an fisherman, had great white beard. And one day, he was up the river, and there came up a rain; and when the rain ceased, all the leaves was washed off pretty, the flowers putting out perfume. And the old fisherman was rowing down the river with his boat. And back in the east there come a rainbow. And when the old fisherman kept looking at the rainbow, the tears start running down his cheeks, and he said, raised up his hands, then put it down on the oar.
The little boy setting in the stern of the boat, he ran up to the old man; he said, "Sir, I'm going to ask you something that my preacher could not answer. I asked him if anyone can see God."
He said, "No."
Said, "I ask my Sunday school teacher."
She said, "No."
And said, "I ask my mother, and she referred me back to them." And said, "Sir, I'm going to ask you."

He had so much God in his heart, he could see Him out there. So is it now. You get God in here, and you can see Him out there. Who could say there is no God, and think of this world standing in space, timed so perfectly, you can tell many many years away, just when there's going to be an eclipse of the moon. All your fine watches here, they fail, but the sun never fails. God times it.
Go out here to the ocean, watch those big angry waves, as they angrily push towards the shore. They'd cover the whole earth if they could. You know, they did once in the days of Noah, but why can't they again? God said to the moon to watch the boundaries of the sea. When the moon turns its head, the tide goes out. When it turns its head back, the tide follows it. The moon is a good watchman. See God? If not the world would just go right out and be covered over with water. What would happen if this world would spin just a little bit out of its orbit, away from the sun? We'd be an iceberg in one minute. What if it went into the sun? It'd burn up the next minute. Why doesn't it? God has said. God is in His universe.

Do you believe that God is in His universe? Say, "Amen." [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]
Can you see a rainbow without thinking of what God said? The many colors in the rainbow, it's a covenant. Before the antediluvian destruction it wasn't there, but God put the humidity in the earth now, that makes it that way. Take a three cornered piece of glass, stand right into the sun, it'll produce seven perfect colors.

He doesn't see sin any more. When you confess your sins, and took the Blood of Jesus, sin problem is over. God is looking through red and you look white as snow.
Sometime ago in my homeland... I'm a hunter, and I ride much on a range with cattle. And one--one year I was way up in the mountains. I just love it. My mother is a half Indian. There's enough about me to make me love nature. I can see the sun set. I weep. See it rise, and I can weep, the great white-capped mountains, beautiful... Man hasn't touched it. That's the way God made it. To me it's prettier than all the big houses in the world. Houses is what man made. Mountains is what God made. I like what He likes. [Isaiah 1:18]

There's a land beyond the river,
That they call the sweet forever,
And we only reach that shore by faith's decree;
One by one we gain the portals,
There to dwell with the immortal,
That they call the sweet forever,
And we only reach that shore by faith's decree;
One by one we gain the portals,
There to dwell with the immortal,
Someday they'll ring the golden bells for you and me. (And they will someday)

I looked back this a way, and the sun against the icicles made a rainbow. I could see the God in the sunset. I could see God in the rainbow. I could hear God in the wind. Then I heard the elk herd holler. Then I heard the old gray wolf holler; its mate answered at the bottom. Then I begin to... heart beat hard. The wild, I love it. Something in it, to see godly. And I had set down my rifle, and I raised up my hands, the tears running down my cheeks, I begin to say--sang praises to God. I got real happy, and I run around and around the tree. If somebody would've been out there, they'd have thought I was out of the insane institution. I didn't care what people thought. God was all around, and I was worshipping Him like David, who danced before the ark.
And then when I heard something. In America, we have a little squirrel, a little bitty fellow. Oh, he's so noisy. And he jumped upon a little stump, and he begin to go, "Chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter."

And I thought, "What's this scene for?"
And I noticed the big eagle wasn't afraid. I said to him, "Do you know I could shoot you?" Didn't bother him a bit. He just rolled his big eyes, and looked at me, looked back over to the little squirrel, as if to say, "Try it."


Then what ought a man to do that's born of the Holy Ghost, when he feel the Holy Spirit around him, and you know you're in love with God? What do you care what the devil says, how many threats he makes?

I begin weeping. I thought, "O God. That's it. That ain't running around join one church then another, flop, flop here and flop, flop there. Just set your wings, your wings of faith. And every time the Holy Spirit rides in, ride on up with It. Go on.
And he went on, and on, and on, to become a little spot. He left that little earthbound squirrel, setting there, chatter, chatter, chatter.

Here not long ago, I'd come home so tired. The people was all around the house, coming from all over the world; and they tried to get them to go back awhile. They wanted me to go to bed. And I woke up; I had the pillow in my hand praying for it. I thought I was still in the prayer line. My wife come, got me, led me out on the porch, and we set down. She said, "Bill, you know you can't live long like that. You're going right on down. You have aged so in the last five years, you don't look like the same person."
I put my arm on hers, and I said, "Honey, when Jesus was thirty years old, they thought He was fifty." [John 8:57]

I said, "Dear, someday when the sun of my life is setting, God will surely have a place for me to gather with those who love me." That's right. God is in His Creation. Do you believe it?
We could take all night speaking of God in His nature, but let's open up His Word. All that believes that God is in nature, let's see your hands. Now, thank you.
Now, let's see if God's in His Word. Jesus said that the Word of God was a seed that a sower sowed. [Mark 4:3]

Now, you plant the little tree as a seed, and it drinks; it drinks, and drinks, and drinks. It has to drink more than its portion. And as it begins to drink, it pushes out limbs, pushes out blossoms, pushes out apples. The only thing the tree does is drink, and it pushes out. That's the way it is with every man or woman that's born of the Spirit of God. You are planted in Christ Jesus, and the only thing you have to do, is to drink from His promise. It'll push out Divine healing...?... everything you have need of, it'll push out, as long as you are planted in Christ Jesus.

The Bible said, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh and dwelled among us."
Now, we'll read... God out of--in the Word now. God in His Son because His Son was the Word. That's Saint John 1.
Now, watch. Now, was God in His universe? Yes. God in His Word? Yes. Now, we're going to see if God was in His Son. [John 1:1, 14]

Now, in this day, when they're trying to belittle Jesus... A woman just said to me, "Brother Branham, you brag too much on Jesus."
I said, "No, I can't brag enough."
Said, "You try to make Him Divine."
I said, "He was Divine."
She said, "No." Said, "He was a Prophet."
Listen, if He was only a Prophet, we are still in our sins. He was either God Himself or the biggest deceiver the world ever had. He was God manifested in the flesh. [II Corinthians 5:19]

Now, Jesus had the Spirit without measure, but we have It in measure. Like this, Jesus might've had all the oceans, but this little gift I have, is just a spoonful out of the ocean. But my friends, the same material, the same chemicals that's in the ocean is in the spoonful. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] Jesus was God.
This woman said, she said, "Do you believe the Bible?"
I said, "I do."
She said, "If I'll prove that Jesus was just a man by the Bible, will you say the same?"
I said, "If the Bible said so, for I believe the Bible."
She said, "All right."
I said, "Go ahead."

I said, "Oh, lady, you're wrong." I said, "I'll admit that He was a God-man, His flesh was flesh, but God was in Him. He was a man."
Listen, "When He was going down to the grave weeping, He was a man weeping. But when He stood by the side of the grave of a man that had been dead four days, his body was rotten, his spirit was four day's journey out somewhere; He straightened up His little body. The Bible said there is no beauty we should desire Him, but He said, 'Lazarus, come forth.' And a man that'd been dead four days, stood on his feet, a live healthy man. That was more than a man. That was God." Amen. [John 11:35, 43], [Isaiah 53:2]

That was a man laying in the back of the boat, so tired from healing, He couldn't raise, couldn't wake Him up. Out on the stormy sea, the little ship like a bottle stopper, ten thousand devils of the sea said they'd drown Him. The waves didn't wake Him up. He was tired. He was a man. But when He woke up, put His foot upon the brail of the boat, and looked up towards heaven, and said, "Peace." and look out to the waves and said, "Be still." That was more than a man. That was God in that man. [Matthew 4:2], [Matthew 14:17, 21], [Mark 4:39]

God is in His universe. God is in His Word. God is in His Son. Now, do you believe God is in His people?
Look at Elijah, after he was dead and the flesh went off his bones, they laid a dead man on his body, and God was still on him in that grave, and raised that dead--dead man up.
Look at the Pentecostal experience. When they went up in the upper room, they were praying. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] They become brave; they went out into the streets, praising God. They didn't care what the people said. God is in His people.
Now, like Apostle Paul, and they put handkerchiefs on his body, sent it to the sick, and they were healed. [II Kings 13:21], [Acts 19:12], [Acts 4:13]

It wasn't Peter, neither was it Paul. It was God in His people. Right here every night you see the Spirit of God make the paralyzed stand up, all kinds of things being done, supernatural works of vision. You believe God's in His people? Say, "Amen." [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] God is with His people then.
Just a moment. I want to ask you something before we start praying for the sick. You need your... They need their eyes open. You become so earth... People become so earthbound, just like this was the only place there was, but there's a heavenly world too. It's all around us. [Acts 5:12-16]

So his wife got sick one night. The doctor couldn't do nothing for her. So he went out and prayed. And the little book said that he promised God, that if He could save his wife, he would take the two turtledoves and offer them for a sacrifice. His wife got well. He did... He went and offered his turtledoves.
Later, he had a little girl. He'd never seen her, and she got sick. The only thing he had left was a lamb. Now, today the dogs lead blind people. Listen close, but them days a lamb led the blind people. So he went out and prayed and said, "Lord, if you'll let my little girl get well [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] His little--his little girl got well. The next morning he went up to the temple to offer the lamb, keeping his word to God.
And the high priest came out, Caiaphas. And he said, "Blind Bartimaeus, where goes thou?"
He said, "High priest, I go to offer this lamb. God healed my little girl, and I--I promised Him this lamb."
The high priest said, "No, no." Said, "Blind Bartimaeus, you cannot offer that lamb. I'll give you money. You go buy you a lamb."
He said, "No. I never told Him I'd give Him a lamb, but I promised Him this lamb. I must give Him this one."
The high priest said, "You can't offer that lamb." Said, "Bartimaeus, that lamb's your eyes."
But the old patriarch said, "Oh, high priest, God will provide a lamb for blind Bartimaeus' eyes." [Mark 10:46-52]

They said, "Jesus of Nazareth, He passes by."
He screamed, "O Jesus, Thou son of David have mercy on me."
What happened? God had provided a Lamb for blind Bartimaeus' eyes. He's got the same Lamb tonight for your eyes. I trust that He will open them to reveal to you the truth: God in His universe, God in His Word, God in His Son, God in His people. Shall we bow our heads while we pray. [Luke 18:39]

While you have your heads bowed, I wonder how many here would raise up your hand and say, "Brother--Brother Branham, I ask you to pray for me, that the Lamb of God will pass by me tonight, and by raising my hand, I want to accept Him as He passes by me."

O Father, God grant it, Your Holy Spirit, God don't let a one of them perish, but give them Everlasting Life right now. O God, if it touches my heart, what will it do to Your great heart when You see them with their hands up. They love You, Lord. Forgive them of every sin, and may from this night henceforth, may they be Yours Divine. O Father God, I present them to You in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Pass me not, O gentle Saviour,
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.
Oh, I love Him with all my heart. And I love you as my brother and sister. I'm so happy to see you come to Jesus. Live for Him all the days of your life. God so wants to see altar calls, until I... It seems like the healing service is better after an altar call. Do you feel real good now? Say, "Amen." [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]

I was saying to my American brethren, "How wonderful. Won't it be wonderful when the battle's over, the arms are stacked, the sun's setting for its last time? A Scream will come across Switzerland, saints of God will raise from the dead, and together we'll be in heaven hand in hand, singing praise to Jesus. Oh, I long for that day, Christian friends. When I meet you then, we'll be speaking the same language and we'll be talking about this night. God bless you.

Are we too late? Are we too late? If you're willing to stay, raise your hand as many as would like? Thank you.
Who has D-number-1, D-1, prayer card D-1. You have it, lady? All right. All right D-2, all right, over here. D-3, D-3. All right. 4 D-4, 4? 5, who has D-5? Raise your hand. All right. 6, D-6, D-7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25. Let's just let them get... Now, say let's wait a minute and let them get straightened out.

Now, you look this a way. Don't look to me, but just as God's representative, and then believe God, and God will heal you. How many's been in the meetings before? Raise your hand. All right. That's...?... How many newcomers, raise your hand. Just about half.
Now look, friends, I have to do this so that you'll understand. Now notice, Jesus of Nazareth, when He was here on earth, He did not say He was a healer. He said, "I'm not a healer." He said, "It's My Father that dwelleth in Me." He said, "I do nothing, but I see what the... The Father shows Me by vision what to do." [John 14:10], [John 5:19]

Jesus said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing in himself, but what he sees the Father doing: that doeth the Son likewise.
"The Father showeth the Son. The Father worketh, and I worketh hitherto." [John 5:2-3], [John 5:19]

I believe Jesus raised from the dead. Do you believe that? Say, "Amen." [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]
The Bible said, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." [John 14:19], [Matthew 28:20], [Hebrews 13:8]

Now, I believe He's here with this people. And just as a Divine gift, it does not heal anyone; it only raises their faith to a place so you can accept your healing, the same thing as preaching the Word. But if Jesus will come here now and do the same things that He did when He was here on earth, will it encourage you so that you can go home and know that He's raised from the dead? 'Cause I think all of you accepted Him tonight, many thousands. So I'm so happy. [John 14:12]


Christians, pray for me. I've been meeting after meeting, and just get real weak. Just at this time, the Angel of the Lord is here. God, Who will judge me at the judgment day, knows that's right. All right. Bring your patients, wherever they are.


Why you'd say, "Sure. Sure, I can see that. There's nothing supernatural about that." But here stands a woman looks healthy. Now what's wrong with her? There it is. And if God is here, He knows the woman. I don't know her. I have never seen her in my life... never seen me, I guess. We're strangers, but God knows both of us. We were born thousands of miles apart and many years apart. This is our first time to meet. But I'm looking at the woman, talking to her through a sub voice. That's the same picture that our Lord Jesus set down at the well, and saw a woman, and said bring Me a drink. He begin to talk to her, till the Father showed Him where her trouble was, and He went right straight and told her. [John 4:7]

Jesus said, "I am He."
That was Jesus then. The Bible said He's the same today. Do you believe that? Raise your hand. You believe it?
Now, I do not know you. If God will let me know by the same Spirit that was on Jesus Christ, that's here in the church, and will be till Jesus comes, will you accept your healing then, or whatever you're waiting for? [John 4:18-19, 25, 26]

Lord God, have mercy upon the woman and let Thy Spirit heal her...?... in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen. God bless you. [Mark 16:17-18]

O God, be merciful to her and take this evil from her, may she be made well through Jesus Christ's Name. Amen. God bless you.
You believe? There hangs the Angel of the Lord. The lady's looking right towards me. She has liver trouble. She's looking right over the top of this lady's shoulder. Do you believe, lady? The second row back... You believe with all your heart? That's right. Stand up, lady. That's it...?... In the checked dress she have liver trouble. Wave your hand. You're healed. Your faith made you whole. You want to know how I knew that? When I was talking to the lady a few moments ago, she had a spirit of death. And you--you thought, when I told her what was wrong, the same thing was wrong with you, but it wasn't in her liver. It was in yours, and you started to pray. And I felt real weak; I turned around; there was that Light over you; and I saw the Light all around you. Death is gone, and life has come in. Your faith has healed you. God bless you.

Remember, in the Bible how that happened? It's still Bible days. It's just the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Here stands a man before me. I do not know him. I never seen him. We are strangers. If that is true, raise your hand. Jesus knows you, and He can tell me what you're here for. And if He will, will you accept Him as your Healer? If you will, raise your hand.
I see you're on a cane, but I don't know why. Now look on me, and believe me to be His prophet. The man is troubled in his back. He has been to a place to operate, one, two, three, three operations in his back. The man is a minister. He is a minister of the Gospel, and he's got a... Pentecostal. And he has his wife here with him, and his wife has gallbladder trouble, and she has back trouble, and she's standing right out there. Go home, preach the Gospel, and be well. God bless you. (Put that over...?...)
Let us say, "Praise the Lord." [Congregation says, "Praise the Lord."--Ed.] Hallelujah.
If thou canst believe, all things are possible. [Hebrews 13:8], [Mark 9:23]

The Angel of the Lord is hanging over a woman, and she is a little woman setting back here. She's got on a polka dot dress. She has got a blue hat, and she has arthritis. Would you stand up, lady, little lady looking at me, right back here. That's right, lady. You with your hand up to your mouth. Believe with all your heart. That is right. You have arthritis. If that's right, raise your hand. Raise up your hand. Believe with all your heart. That you might know, if you want to see It get the right woman, the woman, in her pocketbook, has a letter. It has a little cloth in it that I prayed over. Raise up your hand now, sister. That's right. All right. Go home and be well. Jesus makes you well.

Let us say, "Praise the Lord." [Congregation says, "Praise the Lord."--Ed.]

The man setting right here on the second row back. He has got heart trouble. Stand up. The Lord bless you.
Here It's right down here with that lady below you, looking over a man's shoulder, there in the aisle below you. The lady has a bad spirit. It's epilepsy. And the lady looking at me, setting right here, looking over the man's shoulder, gray haired, you believe with all your heart Jesus makes you well? Amen.
The lady has death spirit...?... on--on breasts. You believe Jesus makes you well? Have faith.

Second lady down there has arthritis, just below, just below, raise up to your feet. Jesus Christ makes you well. Hallelujah. That Spirit is pulling from the audience. There's so many places It's pulling from, I just can't see where It's all at. Every person that's in the building that's got cancer stand up, everyone that's got cancer stand up. Yes, sir. Jesus Christ makes you well. Everybody else stand that's got cancer... Stay up, stay up.
O God, Jesus of Nazareth I rebuke these demons of cancer who are calling for help. But I know that You rebuke them, and they get well in Jesus Name. Amen.

It's Light over the whole building. You're healed. Praise be to God. Amen. Go, rejoice. Amen. Oh, It's moved. It's something wonderful, the drops is just like scattering over the whole building and when we pray it all leaves. It's wonderful. Oh, we thank the Lord.
The lady, she stands, she has trouble in her back--kidney in her back. All that's got kidney trouble, stand up to your feet. O Jesus Son of God, be merciful. I condemn the devil in the Name of Jesus. Come out Satan in Jesus' Name. Amen.
Oh, wonderful. I'm not a fanatic. I'm telling truth. The Holy Spirit's healing people by masses.

Do you believe with all your heart? Heart trouble, in the heart, every one with heart trouble stand up. There it is. All that wants to be healed, stand to your feet.
O God, the Author of Life, send Thy blessings, and I rebuke every unclean spirit, and all the sickness, all the diseases, all the heart trouble, all the other diseases, all the afflictions. And O great God, Who raised up Jesus, have mercy at this time and heal everybody in here. I condemn the devil and cast him out in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen.
And the people said, "Praise the Lord."
All that wants to be healed, give God praise. There sets a lady. Here sets a lady with a white coat over the back of her. She's old...?...No, she's had a stroke. Stand up; Jesus makes you well. Say, "Praise the Lord." Raise up to your feet and give God praise...?...
