God Hath A Provided Way
56-0108, God Hath A Provided Way, Branham Tabernacle, Jeffersonville, IN, 130 min





You know, there was an old saying I read once, said, "I complained about having no shoes, until I seen a man who had no feet." So that's it. If you look around, there's always someone who is worse off than you. So that's...
But to think this morning, above all things that we have a loving Saviour, Who loves us and cares for us, and know that this great tremendous task that we're going through, and the times and the strains that we are, is just the negative part of this journey. And that someday we're going to receive a body that'll never be sick or never be old. It'll never be... And we'll never have to separate from each other; we'll always be together.

And I trust that if there's anyone here today that has never made that type of decision to serve the Lord Jesus, that this will be the day that when you will do it, and from today on, you will join with this great host of believers and march on towards the victory. Someday it will be over.

And the world, we're certainly got a sick world, a lot of people, sickness, troubles, distress. But as we say, there's one time where it won't be no more. Won't it be wonderful when we never pray for the sick no more, never pray for a sinner? It's all over, all vanished away in the great forgottens of the age, and then we will live with Him.
Now, we know that it's a little bit congested in here. And we--we wish we could make you more comfortable, but we can't. So we just pray that our kind heavenly Father will make you so thrilled in your heart of His Presence, that you won't notice the cramped up condition you have to set in while the services are going on. May you be so comfortable in Him...

I met an old person once that was well passed a hundred years old, and said they'd been a Christian since they were seven years old. And I said, "Brother, how--how is it with you today?"
"Oh," he said, "Brother Branham, He gets sweeter as the years go by."
About a hundred and four or five years old, and I thought, "Still sweeter as the years go by, around ninety-seven, ninety-eight years serving the Lord, and He still got sweeter." I imagine when the ages rolls on, He will just still be better all the time, when we look back and see what God has brought us through, and brought us out of, and brought us into.
Christian life is a--a journey; this is a pilgrimage here, and we're just passing through this land. And we're--we're not going to stay here; you know it. Many times we build a house; we say, "Well, the family and I will anchor down here?" But how, for how long? See? You don't know. And we always would like to get a place where we could just say, "This is ours for good." But it isn't here on earth. We don't have such a place here on earth. But there's something in you that calls out for that place. And before there could be anything in you calling out for that place, that place has to be in existence, or there'd be nothing in here calling out for it. The deep can't call to the deep, unless there's a deep to respond to it. So there has to be something inside calling to a place before... There has to be a place first, rather, to make this deep call out to it. And then, when there's something in here that desires...

Now, the blessed thing in here that... Was talking to a young lady just a few moment ago that was suffering from a nervous condition. And the nervous condition, I... She said how she had tried to overcome it. Now, I'm not much of a Christian Science or a Unitarian. I--I don't believe there's anything like mind over matter. I believe God is a Healer. Now, I... The lady was born in that nervous condition. Her mother and father died when she was a child, baby, and raised up just tossed about everywhere, and never had the proper love and care that a baby has.
You know, mother, I want to tell you something. I know I got a little boy back there, and he's really rankly spoiled. But I would rather have him that way; I believe it'll make a better man out of him, if God lets him live, then to let him scream and cry and upset his little self.

Now, the only way that that can be, just like you were born a sinner. And the only way that you can ever become anything else but a sinner; it's got to be another birth. You got to be born a Christian. If you were born a sinner, then you got to be born to be a Christian. And it's got to be something that takes place inside of you. And that's the same thing, has to take place in Divine healing. It has to be something take place, not just a work up or emotion; it's got to be something that actually happens, and you know it happens. See? It's not just, "Oh, well, I'll just think it this way and study it that way." That's doesn't do it. It's got to be something actually take place. [Hebrews 11:13]

How many read "Christian Life" this month? Did you get to read it, "The Christian Life" magazine? I believe, no, I beg your pardon. I got it this month, but it was sent to me. Of a famous doctor in Illinois, was ask a question, "What about Divine healing?" Wished I would have brought it along this morning. And he said, "Is there such..." They asked him, "Is there such a thing as Divine healing."
He said, "Certainly." And if that doctor didn't explain it exactly the way I've explained it about my hand being cut, that it don't build tissue, medicine... We--we think medicine's wonderful. And we would not say don't use it, because it's something... Just like I wouldn't say, "Don't use soap to wash your hands." It's a chemical, but after all, medicine doesn't heal. Medicine just keeps clean, while God does the healing. You can't set your arm, and... Doctor can't come in and set your arm and say, "Now, it's healed." He just sets your arm, and go away and let God heal it for you. That's the only way it can be done.
Well, now, that's the same way it is by taking medicine. But medicine's all right. It's all right to get your arm set if you break it. But God has to do the healing.
Well, now, this is... This healing, you must have faith. It's called faith healing. And this doctor said, "Well, there's such a thing as miracles." He said, "And I've seen it many times." He was noted surgeon. He said, "Many times," he said, "now when you come to bloodless cults who say that some man does it or--or something like Unitarians, and so forth," said, "I simply wouldn't put my hands on that." But said, "I do believe and know, that the Blood of Jesus Christ is all-sufficient to heal any sickness." See?

And the same way it is by Divine healing. When a man comes to Christ upon the basis of believing the shed Blood of Christ was for his healing, "By His stripes we are healed," and accepts it, until something happens in his heart, that says, "It's so. I'm going to be well."...
I'm telling you, there's no way at all to keep them from getting well. They're going to be well. That's right. You don't have to tell a person to quit sinning after he's been born again. It just absolutely stops itself. Well, the same thing it is. You don't tell the people, "Now, keep on holding on," that... After they're healed, they just... Something happens inside of them. And it's not an outside in; it's an inside out. It happens in here first. You absolutely believe it. And then from there out, it goes to work. And then I've seen it happen so spontaneously that it caused outstanding miracles. [Isaiah 53:5]

Our kind heavenly Father, we come to Thee, most humbly in the Name of the Lord Jesus, Thy beloved Son. We come in His Name, because He has bid us to do so, saying, "Whatever You ask the Father in My Name, I'll do it." Then if we place His Name, we know that we're bound to have a talk with God. And this prayer shall be carried straight to Him.
And, Father, we're most desperately in need today of the answer of this prayer. And we come after a night of prayer and consideration, studying the Word, asking just what You'd have us to say this morning to the dying sick people, knowing that it's a most solemn obligation; and we are to answer someday for the loyalty of our stewardship over the heritage of God.
Then we come humbly, believing and bowed hearts to Thee, saying, "God, be merciful to us here today. Forgive us of every sin, Lord." May this heart of these people here today be so thoroughly purged, that the Holy Spirit will move in a marvelous way, taking His Word and delivering It to every heart. And may every unbeliever today become a real child of God, borned again. And may every sick person become healed today. May the--the Holy Ghost give us that reach-up faith that'll climb beyond every shadow and every cloud, take a hold of God and bring Him into our presence, or either bring us into His Presence. Lift us up above the shadows. May it not be a shadow left. May we all bring our souls into contact with God now.
Come to Your Word, Lord. You promised that You'd bless Your Word wherever It was spoken. And You said, "It would not return to You void, but It would accomplish that which It was purposed for." And, Father, Thou Who sent the Word...
Now, may the Holy Spirit take the Word now, go right straight into the hearts of the people, and establish an unmovable faith, Lord, that'll heal the sick and the afflicted. Save the lost. Give an experience to those who are without it. Hide us now in behind Christ, Lord. And let us, all of our speaking, and preaching, and testifying, whatever may take place, may it all be through Christ, for we ask it in His Name. Amen.
When I think of His goodness... [John 15:16], [Isaiah 55:11]

Over in the Book of Genesis, the 22nd chapter and the 7th verse, we read this, the 7th and 8th verse, just for by way of text.
And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for the burnt-offering?
And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for the burnt-offering: so they went both of them together. [Genesis 22:7-8]
Now, in reading the Word, a very familiar text, but I want to take for a subject, if God willing, for a little while on "God Hath A Provided Way."And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for the burnt-offering: so they went both of them together. [Genesis 22:7-8]

God has a Map marked for our healing, for salvation, and a Map marked for glory, it all leads that way. And while we're traveling this grand old highway, if we need a--a place for healing, you'll notice on the map, there's a little stations all along the side of the road, where the Lord has provided for us a healing place. He has ministers all down along the road that has--believes in Divine healing and they pray for the sick and the needy. [Genesis 22:7-8], [Isaiah 53:5]

In the character of Abraham, this morning speaking or taking him as a basic thought, he, to my opinion, is one of the most outstanding of all the characters of the Bible, and one of my favorite characters to bring to the people for an example.
Now, in Hebrews the 11th chapter, or 12th chapter, the 1st verse, it said:
... seeing we... are compassed about with such a great cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every sin, and the--the... weight, and the sin that... so easily beset us,... [Hebrews 12:1]

Did you ever stop to think... Now, just for a little bit, let's just look straight to the Scripture. And I love It, because It's God's pathway. It's God's righteousness. And all these things that happened back in the Old Testament was an example of what we can be if we take the same thing, or the road that they did.[Galatians 5:22-23]

Oh, I can almost see the time when Jesus comes to earth and the redeemed stands in His Presence with uplifted hands, the same story, redeemed by grace. When Angels will stand a circle around the earth with bowed heads not knowing what we're talking about... They never had to be redeemed. It's you and I that need redeeming. It was you and I that Christ died for. That's the reason we can sing redeeming grace. The Angel knows nothing about it; He never fell. What a time that'll be. Oh, my.
When I think of all the old wrinkles of this body will be ironed out, all the gray hairs vanish, the stooped shoulders straight, say, "Looky what He done for me." Talk about redeeming grace, you'll hear my voice; I know you will. Not only mine, but everyone, you'll hear their voice when they sing the story redeeming grace, how He redeemed us. And now, we only have the attributes of it. We're only got the down payment, the earnest of it. Someday we'll have it in full payment. [Hebrews 11:34]

Therefore, He knew that there was going to be a Church called out without spot or wrinkle. And there had to be preparations made to save that Church, so He sent Jesus, not just perhaps somebody might be saved, but He knew who was going to do it. He'd have a people called out, and you are they. He'd have a people that would believe in Divine healing, would accept the stripes for their healing, and you are they. God knew it. He knew there'd be unbelievers. There was then. He knew they would be. He foreknew it. So therefore, He could foresay it would be that way. And He foreknew that there'd be somebody who'd believe it. So He sent Jesus for those who would believe it. And here they are today, gathered here at one spot to accept what God foreknew would take place. God made a preparation for those who would believe. And you're part of that preparation. God foreknew before the world ever was formed, that these days would be here. That's the reason He could foretell it; He foreknew it. And He made a preparation for those who would accept it. [Ephesians 5:27], [Isaiah 53:5]
And you are the people this morning, that's come here to be prayed for that the preparation was made for. God foreknew it. Oh, my. That rouses the emotions of our souls. As you notice, the Holy Spirit when He takes the Word, and sets It across the congregation, watch the emotions of the audience. You know what I do then? I know that God's Presence is in the building. When you see the way, the effect, It's a moving the people, when you see, just the Word. God making preparations and providing... [Romans 8:29]

Now, you have to be showed how to receive it, how to reach up and get a hold of it. And then when you get it, then you know it's there; nothing's going to rub it out; it's indelible. It can't never be changed.
Notice, God giving us an example here, Abraham and his little boy Isaac. I was thinking of back yonder when Abraham was just an ordinary man. He wasn't any more than any other man. He... Perhaps, his father was an idol worshipper, come down to the land of Chaldees, the city of Ur, coming out of Babylon, where they had worshipped roots of trees. And they had some woman up there, and she was supposed to be some goddess, and everything built by--by Nimrod. And there's where idol worship first was established in Babylon. And the people were scattered. And Babylon brought them all into one group, like one great head or one great organization.
But Abraham come out of the group that pulled away. His father, he had married his half-sister and come down but--and lived in the--the valleys in Shinar, valleys. And there God spoke to him at the age of sixty--or seventy-five years old and promised him a case of Divine healing. And his wife, Sarah, was sixty-five years old. And promised that through his faith in Him, that He would perform Divine healing for Sarah... Amen.
What a beautiful picture. How outstanding, how that--that if you notice, it was always Abraham's faith. Even Sarah doubted and even laughed and disputed with God Himself, that something that laughed at Him. But, God, through His sovereignty could not back up on His promise.
Oh, if you can see that, sick folks, that's when something's going to take place; it just has to. It's based upon your faith in God. [Genesis 12:5, 13], [Genesis 18:15]

To people setting here this morning with cancer, heart trouble, blind, it'll have to be, some moving of a supernatural that would do it. It had to be the moving of the supernatural Sunday morning, last Sunday morning, to take that lady from the stretcher laying here, broken ankles and sclerosis, till she couldn't even get her robe around here; and fifteen minutes she could lap it around her. Preparations was made. You see it?
Oh, what a glorious thing. Preparations was made. God foreknew that He would send Abraham, and He just let him go right on down till he got seventy-five years old, to show it would be a miracle, and let Sarah travel right on. And He could've spoke to them when they were eighteen or twenty years old. But He just let it get to a place where it would be a miracle. [Genesis 22:7-8]

The people who doesn't believe in Divine healing, and the performing of miracles, how... No wonder our churches are dying. No wonder they're withering up to a bloodless cults. No wonder the social Gospel is so predominating today, is because in our seminaries and everything we're taking all the phenomenal away from God. And God Himself is a phenomenal. He's the creator Being; He's Jehovah. He's the great Reality, He's the great Substance of everything that was made on the earth was made by Him. And He displays His power by raising the sun every morning, and by sending forth His rains, by setting His rainbows, comes down to His subjects, and healing their sickness, and saving their sins. Amen.

Maybe today you say, "Brother Branham, I'm a Christian, how did this thing come to me? Why did I get in this kind of a state?" Well, maybe, God did it just like He did to Abraham and Sarah. Why, Sarah was married probably to Abraham when she was just a teen age girl, Abraham probably a young man in his twenties. There's ten years difference in their age, maybe, her sixteen and him twenty-six.
Why, He could've spoke to them, said, "Now, you're going to have a child now in your youth. You could love your baby now while you're young, and you can enjoy it lots, and you're going to raise it up, and it's going to be a type of the Saviour that's coming, and so forth. He could've did it then. But God likes to do miracles. Oh, excuse me. But to know that what He's done...

Here sets a young lady on the front seat, I was just talking to awhile ago, one of the worst stages of an alcoholic. And here she is not a neurotic look about her, sweetly, and humbly.
I look out yonder and see a woman back yonder who was blind, and here she is this morning, not even glasses over her eyes. Oh, it's God making a way. And He made it at Calvary. In there, our hopes is built on nothing less than Jesus' Blood with righteousness. Oh, how He does it, it's beyond finding out. But He does it. And He does it for His glory, and He's made preparations for it.
If you were going to take your child to a party of some sort, would not you prepare it, and get its dress ready, and so forth, or its little suit, whatever the child might be, boy or girl? You'd make arrangements for that.
If you were going to entertain company, would not, for dinner, would not you first get your dinner made ready? For you make ready for these things. You make ready for these great blessings that comes, that you can give to people.
Don't you like to entertain people? Do not you like to go out and take people to your home and entertain them? You clean up everything; you fix everything, you--you put a little flower over here. This is just the way they would like it. And you fix a little thing here now. I see they are... They like this. And so you fix it, just making arrangements. And I know that they like this kind of a meat, so you prepare that meat real spicy and nice, because... And if you can't feel that you do it, you get somebody else come do it who can do it better. You're making arrangements, preparations for something, because you want your guest to be highly entertained.

A lady said to me just this morning, said, "I walked into one of the meetings. I seen the people so happy." Said, "I wasn't happy." And then I looked at them, and I said, "Surely, they had something. I wished I had that." Sure, the table was set for that poor hungry soul. And before the service was over, she was eating from the same table. Oh, why? [A lady from the audience says, "Brother Branham, that was me."--Ed.] That's it. Right. [The same lady says, "And now, I'm happy today."--Ed.] Amen.
Drunken, walleyed drunk, alcoholic to the limits, the doctors had give her up, here she is happy and rejoicing. And that's been about two years ago, I guess, three years ago; and look, it's still holding out.
If you ever come to that table once, and set your feet under it, you'll never leave again. It's so great. The world has nothing to compare with it. It's so wonderful to know His love for you. God making preparations...
Now, He said, "I'll let Abraham, instead of call him now at twenty-six and Sarah at sixteen, I'll wait till they're old. I'll let it get past menopause for Sarah. Oh, it usually happens about forty, and then, forty, fifty, sixty, about twenty-five years past, then I'll call her. And then I'll let Abraham get seventy-five, then I'll call him." Now, He said, "Abraham, I am going to do something for you." That's good enough as long as God said He was going to do it. [Hebrews 1:1], [Isaiah 53:5]

If I told you I'd give you an oak tree, and you said, "All right, Brother Branham." Here I come around with a little acorn give it to you. You've got the oak tree; sure it is; it's in seed form; but just let it alone. Plant it in the ground; it'll produce an acorn tree. Certainly.
That's the way it is by the Word. the Word is the Seed. The Word came to Abraham; the Word of God came to Him, and said, "Abraham, I have chosen thee." You get it? Oh, I just love that, not, "You chose Me, but I chose you."
Now, why are you here this morning, that's sick? God chose you. Today's your day for healing. "I chose you. I made my supper ready. I've called you in. Now, each one of you is a guest, and you've come in. And I've got everything prepared and all the dainties setting on the table, and every one of you can have it now." What an invitation.
Now, God says, now sometimes, Abraham--Abraham would've no doubt said, "Thank You, Lord. I am so happy to get this--this promise that You give me, because here I am, I'm old and I've always wanted children. So I'm--I'm old and I--I would like to have that promise."
Well, Abraham went along as if to believe that the baby was going to born in that same year. But you know, day by day there was no change. And then it went day by day, then week by week, and year by year and no change. But the Bible said... Now, if that would be you and I, well, maybe... I don't say you and I, but some people, they would say, "Oh, my. God--God let me down, He didn't keep His promise." But He did keep His promise.
And Abraham, the Bible said, grew strong in God. All the time it got greater. Now, he's seventy-five; now ten years has past, he's eight-five: ten years. Just think, that's when I started preaching this meetings. And ten years passed and still nothing happened. The first person I ever prayed for... But would still be giving God praise because it was going to happen. Why? God prepared it. God will never give you a promise unless first there is a deposit for it. [Genesis 17:5]

He told Noah; He said, "Noah, I want you to build Me an ark. Build to the saving of your house, an ark." And Noah... Isn't it good in God? Before these great disasters happen, God always gives a warning and makes a way of escape. He prepares it. He said, "Now... Noah, look at it. I want you to build an ark." Why, they'd had no water on the earth, just little springs. It never did rain. There was no rain up in the skies. And how foolish sometimes it seems to the carnal mind, when God gives a person a promise, how the world can't understand it.
There's no doubt, but what when you receive God's blessing and was born again, you... The people thought you were crazy. They said, "That person's just a little bit off." You see, you're moving by faith. Oh. You're making preparations for something that the world knows nothing about. They only live just as far as they can see. But we live by things we don't see, that we believe that God said was true. Faith doesn't look at a thing that you can see. Faith looks at things you don't see. [Genesis 17:16], [Genesis 6:14]

Now, Noah went out there and begin to build a way on an ark: God's goodness to him. He said, "I know there's fixing to come some trouble. And all that's not in this ark is going to drown, so you get ready, and get in this ark, and get your family in there. Tell everybody. Everybody's welcome to come, but I'm sure they won't do it. But you just--you just make--make preparation for them anyhow. Here's the ark. Now, you make this ark, and everybody that wants to come in can come in and be saved."

Now, they're building away on the ark, and people come by and laugh and made fun of him. And they say, "Hey, did you hear about that fellow saying there's going to be some water come down? Where's it going to come from? Why, there can't be no water up there. Look. Can you see any water; it's just a blue as it can be. Oh, we've lived here all these years; there's never been no water. How could it come; there's no water up there. And this fellow says the whole earth's going to be covered with water. Well, that man must be just a little bit funny up here. There's something wrong in his head."
But why did he do it? Why did he make preparations to meet God's preparations? God was going to prepare to destroy the enemies of the world, and Noah had to build a way to prepare something to ride through it.
And that's the way it is today. God has made a way to destroy that cancer. God's made a way to take the blindness out of them eyes. God has made a way. And what are we trying to do with this Word this morning? Is build something for you to ride through on to your victory. God's Word, THUS SAITH THE LORD... See? Ride through on His Word. God said so.
After a while, when God got ready for it to happen, the rain was up there. And when God gets ready for it to happen, it'll always be there. See? God makes His way after He has made a preparation.

Well, that wouldn't have been so hard to do, just their faith, because God had already promised it. But God hadn't promised them no such a thing. But here's the words they had. God was so real to them, they said, "Our God is able." How about that, the fellow that don't believe in Divine healing? [Daniel 3:17]

Now, you don't come saying, "God is able." You don't have to come that, "God, You promised. Amen. You prepared it at Calvary. And I've come to receive it. It's Your preparation; You provided it. And You promised it. And I see others receiving it, so I come too, Lord, to get my part of it."
You'll go away a different person. You'll go away with such an anchor inside in your soul, that nothing can upset you. You know that you're healed. You know that God has taken care of this matter for you, because He has promised.
He gives testings and trails with these promises. He, many times... If He'd have let the Hebrew children to feel all the weight of the fire coming on to them...


They said, "Are you afraid?"
He said, "Afraid." And they strapped his hands to the cross; they drenched him in tar, and throwed feathers over him, put a barrel of pitch at the bottom and rode by in a chariot and throwed a lighted torch into the flame. And it went up around him. And after the people made their rejoicing and passed their stones one to another, that they'd got rid of this pest, a preacher of righteousness, what happened? The fire burnt down and the saint was hanging on the cross, praising and blessing God. God had prepared a way of escape for him right in the midst of the fire. He'd prepared a way. Why, he come bravely, boldly. That's the way we come to God's promises. We come boldly to accept them. We don't come shuddering, saying, "Maybe, I will. Maybe I... Next Sunday, maybe, this will be that..."
No, we come with the assurance in our heart. "God through Christ has prepared a way and I come to accept it." It's an easy thing when you look and see what the promise was made by, if you see that it was God made the promise. If God made the promise, God's able to keep His promise.

She said, "With all my heart." Oh, my. That was it. That's what did it.
That's what did it here not long ago, standing in Karlsruhe, Germany, when my boy and some man was sending people up to the prayer line. There come a little blind German girl. She was totally blind. I didn't know what was the matter with the child. They just sent her up. And the little thing just walked off the platform; someone grabbed her. And she had little curls, strings of hair hanging down, platted, just typical little German girl: never seen in all her life. And when they brought her over there, she was--just didn't know where to go. And she put her arms around me (by the way it was this same suit on I have), put her little arms around me. She mumbled off something in German, and I didn't know what it was. The interpreter said... I said, "What's she saying?"
Said, she said, "Are you the brother that's going to pray for me?" Oh, my. Little thing about like this, about like my little Rebekah.
And I said, "Yes, sweetheart. I come all the way from United States to pray for you." She put her arm, wrapped her little arms around me, laid her little head over on my shoulder, just the assurance, child simplicity, that God of heaven was going to move some way.
A few moments she opened her little eyes; she said, "Is... What do you call them things?"
"Lights."
Her mother jumped and screamed and run out of her shoes, run to the platform. She said, "Darling."
She said, "Mother, oh, you're so beautiful."
Why? Calvary prepared, made a preparation for the healing of her eyes. Certainly. She come to accept what God had provided. God has provided for each one. God gives the assurance.
Maybe your sickness has been a lingering one. Maybe you've had it for years, and you've tried and tried. You tried. Abraham tried. When he was up a hundred years old nearly, God appeared to him one day, and He said, "Abraham, I am Almighty God. Walk before Me and be perfect." A hundred years old, right on a hundred... "Walk before Me and be perfect; I'm Almighty God." [Genesis 17:1]

"The Almighty," in the Hebrew is "El Shaddai," which means "the breast like a woman." "Abraham, I'm coming to you in the Name of the breasted One, the Nurse, the--the Life-giver."
Like a little baby when it's sick, you know, the mother holds it to her breast, then she nurses it. And the little baby is fretting and crying, and skinny, but it just lays there and nurses, and gets strong. Where is it nursing its life from? From the mother. And God appears to us today as El Shaddai, the Breasted One, both of them, the New and Old Testament, just as full of promises as They can be, not a breast, but breasted, two. Why? He died for a compound purpose. He was wounded for our transgressions; with His stripes God provided a way for our healing. See, one for our salvation, one for our healing. "I am the breasted One. I have two witnesses. In the mouth of two witnesses let every word be established." [Isaiah 53:5]

We could take it from both the Old and New Testament, pat them together. That's the reason, mostly, I got to the Old Testament to pick out a text, because I bring it over to the New Testament, and pull it together, and show you, it's the same Breasted God. The same One that escaped Daniel from death by sending an Angel is the same God that's in here this morning. Is the same God that gave blind Bartimaeus his sight, that healed that little German girl. He never fails. He's God Jehovah. He can't. He makes a preparation. And He's provided a way for every one of us. He's provided an escape.
And He told Abraham, "I am the Breasted One. Now, Abraham, the only thing you have to do is just keep nursing, nursing." [Genesis 22:14], [Exodus 15:26], [Exodus 17:15], [Judges 6:24], [Psalms 23:1], [Jeremiah 23:6], [Ezekiel 48:35], [Acts 2:36], [Hebrews 13:8]

A spear, representing sin for our place, speared His side, His feet, His hands, His head. And through the bleeding forth of His Life, we nourish back to Life again. All that we lost in the fall back yonder, God has provided a way for us. God's provided a way of an escape.

God said, "Now, Abraham, I want to see just how much faith you really got. I'm going to give a back-set in your Divine healing, see how far you'll trust Me." You know sometimes you have back-sets, did you ever know that? I've had a lot of them. Yes, been preaching the Gospel for years, turn right around I get so sick I don't know what to do sometimes. But my anchor holds. Amen. Just anchor it around Calvary, and say, "God, oh, I can't see Calvary. The waves is so heavy. My people are saying all this. The doctor says I can't live. But Something in here, the Lifeline is still holding, holding." [Genesis 21:4]

He said, "Now, I'm going to give you a trial, Abraham." He said, "I want you to take this sixteen year old lad of yours; I want you to take him out here, and I want you to kill him now."
"How am I going to be a father of nations? How from this boy is going to spring Christ? And how's it going to be if I kill him?" Well now, he thinks, "If God made the promise, it's up to God to take care of the rest of it."
So he takes the little boy, wouldn't tell the mother, and goes up three day's journey back into the desert. Now, a man can walk about twenty-five, thirty miles a day, so he must've been a hundred miles from civilization. And then he saw the mountain far off. He said to the two--the ones that was holding the mules; he said, "You stay here." I want you to notice this, you people that's sick. Said, "You stay here while the lad and I go yonder to that mountain and worship, and we will return. We will return." [Genesis 22:2-5]

But God said to Abraham, "You go do it."
Abraham said, "I received him as one from the dead. And if I kill him, God's able to raise him up again. God gave the promise, that He, through him the Saviour would come, and somehow God will do it."

Well, they received him in that manner, so they pushed him back out into the crocodiles, knowing that God could take care of it. And God did take care of it.
God's got His hand on His Church. God's got His hand on His man, on His woman. God's able to take care of the situation. So Abraham said, "We will return."
When you left home this morning, did you tell husband, "When I come back, I'll be feeling different." Yes, sir.
"How you going to do it?"
"I don't know, but I--I will." Oh, amen.
"I'll be different when I come back; you just watch and see."
"How are you going to do it?"
"God will provide."
There when the great crucial hour come, and they went up to the top of the mountain, and Abraham took his knife out, and took the little boy. And he said this question to him; he said, "Father, here's the--the wood, and here's the altar, but where is the burnt offering?"
He said, "God will provide an offering."
Isn't that a lesson to us? God will provide. There's no need of us getting all upset about anything. God will provide it. [Genesis 22:7-8]

I looked at my old Pontiac the other day; it was all getting beat up now. The hydromatic's going out on it. And I got two little girls that bounces around a whole lot on the seats, and they about broke the seats down out of it. And I went and had it prepared. And the man said, "Billy, I'll tell you what I'll do," said, "I'll give you a good swap for that."
I said, "How can I swap that?" I said, "I can't do it."
He said, "Well, are you... Oh, your credit is good around here, as long as you want. I'll hold your note."
I said, "That's mighty nice, but I can't do it."
Said, "I'll give you a real good deal on it." Said, "Being a preacher, I'll give it to you wholesale." I said, "That's nice, but see, I--I can't do it." See?
And he said, "Well, if you ever take a notion to swap, let me know."
And I said, "All right." So then, I thought, "Well, God, I... This old thing's all right for me. It's just fine and dandy, that and my old truck." I said, "We can beat around over the country with it. It's okay. I've been doing it for all these years. I can continue on."
And the other night a phone call came from California. And a man called me up, a man that's a multi-millionaire. He said, "Brother Branham, what kind of a car have you got?"
And I said, "I got a four year old Pontiac."
He said, "On the thirty-first of this month, there will be one of the biggest Cadillacs that's made will be brought and set at your door for service to you."

He said, "No, this is already bought, and it's setting here."
I don't know what I'll do with it. But you see what it is, it's God, God in His mercy providing. Sometimes a thing gets real low, where we wonder, "How is it going be?" But God has already provided. He just holds it up here and drawing interest on it (You see?) to give it to you.
And by a vision, now I'm staggering out yonder. Here come a letter, coming in from over there, through a man. The other day it was sent--sent unto me now of the king of a nation, over the--overseas. And said, "Oh, the miracles and things that's happened down in Germany." The king of Denmark, he said, "Come over, Brother Branham, and minister to my people in the Name of the Lord Jesus." And right at the time where I thought God had washed me up and I was all over. He's setting anew. Hallelujah.
Then when I used to have to take the people by discernments, by one by one, He's placed in my heart now, something that I would be daresn't to speak of at this time. And I am not a fanatic, and you know that; you surely know me well enough. But watch what takes place now. Oh, my. It'll be far beyond. See? Sometimes just at the darkest of the moment, then God comes riding in. Hallelujah. That's the way God does it.

"You done what?"
"I've provided already a sacrifice."
Abraham said, "I'll call this place Jehovah-jireh, for the Lord has provided." And about that time, a ram begin to bleat in the wilderness, hooked up with his horns all wound up in some vines. Where did that ram come from? He's a hundred miles from civilization. The animals, the lions, and the wolves, and things, and the hyenas, a roving the prairies there would've killed it. And besides that, he's plumb up on top of a mountain where there's no water, no springs, nothing for it to eat. And the spare of a moment, here was this ram hooked in the wilderness by his horns. [Mark 5:25], [Genesis 22:10-14]

God is able at this minute to speak every cancer out of this building, open up every blinded eye, to set everybody in the freedom and liberty. God has provided a way. He's made a way. He sent His Son Christ Jesus. And the Holy Ghost is brooding over us today. The Holy Ghost is all over us. It's blessing us. It brings an atmosphere.
Why is it you can take a hen egg and put it in a brooder house? The mother hen don't have to be over the egg to hatch it. Just so it has got some warmth over it, it'll hatch.

Look at the preparation. When a person's getting ready to put their--to set their chickens and things, how they select their eggs, and put them under the brooder, and put them in the brooder house, and how the heat is regulated. That heat is kept over that egg until it's hatched.
And God is so set in order, that one day, through all the types, back through Adam, through Eve, on down through the prophets, down through Abraham He set in order; He put it all in the Old Testament, showing what He was going to do. And He finished it at Calvary when He sent Jesus, Who was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquity, the chastisement of our peace upon Him, with His stripes we were healed. He finished it at Calvary. [Isaiah 53:5]

No, no, whatever the egg is, if it's a duck egg, it'll bring a duck. If it's a chicken, it'll bring a chicken. If it's a bird, it'll bring a bird. If God promised salvation, take It into your heart. The Holy Ghost will brood over It till It comes to Life. If He promised healing, take It in your heart; It's God's provided way.

And the Bible said in this last day there come a former and latter rain together. And today across the nations, from one--east to the west, from north to south, is one constant great revival of Divine healing, the powers of God. And the men who's cast down, some man who's picked up... God tried to get into these big churches, and couldn't find room. They rejected it, and said it couldn't be done, when it was thought of here a few years ago.
But God reached down in the lowly walk of life, to humble peasant people, raised them up, uneducated. Why did God do it? Oh, if it'd have come through big churches, and things, they'd have had something to glorify about. "Oh, our groups met together. We decided this." But God got down to men and women who can't read their own name sometime. God takes nothing and He makes something out of it. When they yielded, and God taken men of that type and has raised them up in the world. And today, a roar of blessing, even till the doctors are putting it in papers that Divine healing is true. They have to recognize it's before their face. Hallelujah. [Mark 16:17-18], [Joel 2:23]


Abraham went about saying, "We're going to be this way. It's going to be this way. We're going to have the baby."
"How you going to have it?"
"My wife's too old. The doctor says it's impossible. Well, I'm... We're going to have it, 'cause God had said so." And when he met the last crucial moment of it up there, he called the place Jehovah-jireh, the Lord will provide for Himself this sacrifice. [Romans 4:17], [Genesis 22:14]

"Oh, we had him to the hospital; we had him everywhere."
"But why did you bring them here this time?" Because something in your heart begin to move. What is it? God making a way, God preparing, God's preparations. God will provide a way.
Many of you heard the little opossum story was in the books here not long ago. If God was mindful enough to a poor ignorant opossum... Not only that, but other times was animals, that I know of... You say, "Would you take time to pray for an animal?" If God sends it, yes, sure. God's Jehovah. He just works through His own way. And we just serve Him. We're His servants.
And now, my brother, sister, God has provided a perfect way for your healing this morning. Did you know I was almost blind once? I had to be led around by my arms. I wore great big thick glasses over my eyes, and my head shook like this, and I couldn't even get a hair cut 'less somebody would hold my head.


Oh, my. When I walked out, I said, "My ministry's finished."
And then Jesus came with a vision, said, "Don't you worry. I'm with you. I'm with you."
He said, "If you live, you'd only be a little spindly thing of about a hundred and ten, fifteen pounds, about like you are now, maybe, twenty. And here I am this morning, a hundred and seventy, feel fine. What is it? Jesus Christ the Son of the living God Who made a preparation yonder at Calvary, and I accepted it. Why did He do it? Not because of me, but because I could tell you this morning, and you can accept the same thing and tell somebody else about it. And it just keeps on, and that's the way He has of preparing a way to spread His Gospel.
Do you believe it today? God has provided. Shall we pray just a moment now with our heads bowed. And if sister, pianist, if she'll come here just a moment. I want you to chord slowly.
The great Physician now is near,
The sympathizing Jesus,
He speaks the dropping hearts to cheer,
No other name but Jesus.
The sympathizing Jesus,
He speaks the dropping hearts to cheer,
No other name but Jesus.

Is there a person would do that, raise your hand say, "By God's grace, from this day I'll serve God"? Someone in the building, I don't know. God bless you. God bless you. That's right. That's good. "From today on I want to make my life count for the Lord."
"I am a Christian, I've already accepted Christ, but I feel like I want to be a better Christian now. I want to raise my hand and say, 'God, by this I want...'"
God bless you. Oh, that's wonderful. That's wonderful. God be with you.

Would you raise your hand, you that's sick? Oh, my. Just look at the hands, dear heavenly Father. You see their hand. It's just like being converted. Now, if they was converted, Lord, and had raised their hands for salvation, we'd bring them up here to the pool and baptize them; that's our next thing.
Peter said, "Repent and be baptized every one of you in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins. You shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." Now, that's what we would do, Lord.
Now, these all raised their hands, and say they believe that You have planted in their heart. They seen that You prepared for their healing already. And they're ready to receive it, and they accept it in their heart. And, Father, there's one thing left for us to do. That's bring them up and pray the prayer of faith for them, lay hands upon them. You said, "They shall recover." Nothing can keep it from it.
And, Father, we believe that by the grace of God, that You'll send us a healing meeting now, that will just be glorious. They've already accepted it. We'll be thankful. We'll give You the praise. And we'll give all the glory to Thee. We'll tell others. We'll go to our homes testifying. Some here dying with cancer, some here that can't see to get around, others can't walk, oh, they're in all kinds of conditions, Lord. But Thou art here to make every crooked path straight. You're here to take all the disaster out and put glory in. [Acts 2:38], [Mark 16:18]

The great Physician now is near,
The sympathizing Jesus,
He speaks the drooping heart to cheer,
Oh, hear the voice of Jesus.
The sympathizing Jesus,
He speaks the drooping heart to cheer,
Oh, hear the voice of Jesus.
Friends, while there's playing and this music's going out... Now, this is a great moment of my life. This is a great time for me. I just feel just confidence and as assured in my heart, that God's going to heal people this morning, as I'm standing right here at this platform. I just believe it. See? And it just makes me feel... Really, I tell you. I think it's already done. The only thing, I just go lay hands on them, 'cause He said do so just like water baptism or anything else.

Now, let me show you whether it's right or not. See? Let's first take God's way of it. Let's look across the world, how many tens of thousands of crippled, blind, lame, halt, cancer-ridden's, and everything that's been healed. Now, that's first. After His Word said He would do it, then here He comes and proves it.
Next thing, there's people setting right here that's been healed of it. See? That's next. And then let's look again. Right at the time of years ago, there's a few left here in the tabernacle, maybe, this morning. Some of them don't come when we're going to have healing service because of the crowds pressing in like this. But look, right here, right here in Jeffersonville, to you outsiders, is where that Light, that Morning Star appeared first. Right here it's happened at this platform many times. Right here... Of course, the people thought it was fanatic. But the scientific world has took the picture of It, and says it's the truth. Then I have told you the Truth. Is that right? And now, it's all over...


How I seen that, from that once pull, and He said, "That's when you knew the diseases of the people, when they--by their hands." And then this second pull, said, "Why did you pull it so hard? Why'd you try to explain all of that? They'd see you just caught a fish, but it was small." He said, "Now, cast your lure in for this time." Said, "Set your hook." [Matthew 10:29]

Just get your faith away from up here now, and put it down here. Say, "Dear God, I come knowing it too. I come knowing it. I'm coming to You, and I'm going to be healed this morning."
As a man I can pray for you. You say, "Does prayer do any...? Will--will prayer help?" Certainly, that's what we're supposed to do. The prayer... Prayer changes things. Prayer of faith saves the sick. Is that right? Some that's set in the church to pray for the sick. Some are set in the church to prophesy. Some are set in the church to preach, some to teach. Is that right? Certainly, we're set for these things. [James 5:15]

They used to try to attack us and debate with us, the preachers that didn't believe in Divine healing. You don't hear much about it no more, do you? That's right. It just exposed them and showed how much they knowed about the Scripture. And then, God just come around, confirmed the work with signs following, and that just settles it.
Now, how many is here today, out-of-town people, that's out of the state somewhere, and wants to be prayed for? Would you raise your hand? Let's let them come first, the folks out of the state; then the folks that's out-of-town, and then the--the folks, next that's from here at home.

Now... [Brother Branham speaks to the sister playing the piano--Ed.] Now, "Only Believe."
Now, there's many standing. Some of you, of course, are coming, perhaps maybe, to see what our Lord will do. Watch and see what He does. We don't fear Him; we know what He's going to do. He's going to make that Word real as It can be. Yes, sir. You'll see what He will do. He will heal the sick and the afflicted. He will make them well through His power and through His glory.

Now, how many of you believes that God's going to make them, you people in state now, believe that God's going to make them well? Raise up your hand, say, "I believe it." Believe it with all of our heart.
Now, we're here to help you, dear friends. [Someone speaks to Brother Branham--Ed.] All right, I'll pray for them. I'll go pray for them. All right. I want you dear people here that's from out of--from out-of-state to believe this now. I want you to believe with all your heart, that I--that Jesus Christ is God's preparation for your healing, that God brought Jesus to the world for your healing.
Now, remember, there's nothing within me that I could do to heal you. The only thing I'm doing, I'm following the command that God gave me to do it. And know... You've heard the meetings of how just everything's taken place. Of course, He will do that. He will do it this morning for you, and you can go back to your own beloved state, just rejoicing and telling people what good things God has done.
Now, the lame walks, the blind see, the deaf hear, the dumb speak; them things are just in God's power to do it. Now, I want you to believe with all your heart. Now, the only thing I'm to do; I'm to pray and lay hands on you, praying the prayer of faith. And you must accept it on them basis of the shed Blood of Jesus Christ. And God will do the rest of it for you. You believe it now with all of your heart? You're ready to receive it? Believe it down in your heart; the Word first, is in your heart to do it. All right.

Now, let's bow our heads, everywhere, and every few minutes we'll have you raise your heads.
Now, heavenly Father, we thank Thee this morning for Jesus. And here stands in this line here, this morning, different ailments, Thou knowest what they are; I don't. But the best of my knowledge, Lord, I tried to tell them that Thou has provided their healing already. Some of them maybe just a few days from death. But, Father, prayer changes things.
Hezekiah prayed, after God, You sent Your prophet up there and told him he was going to die. But he prayed, and You spared his life. [II Kings 20:1-2, 5]

Now, with your heads bowed, everyone slowly now. "Only Believe," real slowly, while we--Brother Neville anoints the sick and they bring them to me.
Only... [Congregation sings: Only Believe--Ed.]

Now, our heavenly Father, stand near in this little, old, crude built tabernacle, yet, knowing that the Shekinah Glory of God, Who dwelt under the interlocked wings of the Cherubims is standing present now. And as our souls can let loose of the filthy things of the world and moves into His Presence, and we can feel and know that He's standing here... We come boldly, knowing that we would--knowing this, that we would die if it wasn't for Christ's glory now, but His shed Blood makes a way. We could come then boldly up to Your throne under the interlocked wings of the cross.

Lord, I lay these, my hands, upon him, because it's Your commission. It's Your bidding to do so. Through Jesus Christ that You grant it for God's glory.
I want every head bowed and no one to raise your heads until you hear me say so, please.
Holy Spirit, heal...?... Lord for this...?... I condemn you, thou evil one. Leave, in Jesus Name...?... Turn around...?... that you're going to be...?... God's blessing...?...[Brother Branham continues to speak inaudibly sometimes. He asks the man to repeat after him--Ed.] Praise the Lord. Hallelujah. I love the Lord. I give Him praise. It's different, isn't it?...?... You feel better now, feel different. Certainly, because the Lord has...?... Say, "I love Him." Praise be to God. I don't believe it'll ever come again.

Now, let's raise our heads and give God praise, say, "Thank You, Lord Jesus." There goes a man into the ministry to preach the Gospel, that was once a stutterer. What did Moses say, "I'm a man of slow speech. I have stammering with lips and so forth."
God said, "Who made the lips of man?"
Do you believe now? Have faith now. Will you bow your heads again for another person? Everybody in prayer now. Be reverent.
[Brother Branham talks to the sick person in the prayer line--Ed.] Now, your trouble, sister? Where you from, sister? Hamilton, Ohio. You believe you're going home well?
Now, the lady has a trouble in her sides, and she's come from Hamilton, Ohio. And she's extremely nervous. There might not be nothing happen that you could see, but God will do it just the same. Pains will leave her, I believe, if you will with me. [II Kings 20:6]

And back years ago as a little old boy standing up here under the tree, You said, "Don't you never smoke or drink, or defile your body. There will be a work for you to do when you get older."
Here it is. You confirmed it by an Angel of Light. You sent animals in to be prayed for. You've sweep around the world with a revival as You promised down here on the river that You'd do it. And here this woman stands today to be delivered.


It can be nothing outward, but just--you feel that you're healed, don't you, sister? The pains are not in your side. It's gone. You feel calm and well. Now, just right here.
Here's a lady (you may raise your head) from Ohio, with that trouble in her side. She says, "All pains are gone. Her nerves are quietened, just the same as the man... Is that right, sister? Now, you're going home to be well. Jesus, the Son of God, Who's here this morning has made you well. Be a gallant servant for Him. God bless you.
Now, let's say, praise the Lord. [Congregation says, "Praise the Lord."--Ed.] What if that was you suffering like that?" All right.
Now, shall we bow our heads again just in a--for a word of prayer. All right.
Now, and we're... [Brother Branham speaks to a lady in the prayer line--Ed.]...?... what is your request? Oh, it's just...?... Oh, I see, it's...?... Oh, I see it's just...?... Oh, my...?... He can make stammering man...?... Was you ever in one of my services before?...?... my...?... You see what happened there don't you...?... I see that little jerking there...?... this lady's purse...?... her glasses on right behind this man...?...
Now, everyone real reverent, if you will. [James 5:15]

Go, thou spirit, you who twitches her face, you who's tormented her body. We come in the Name of Jesus, fresh from Calvary from the Word, and we condemn thee. We claim that you can't stay any longer. The woman's tried with the doctors, and they've done all they know how to do. But you've hid from the doctors, but you can't hide from God. He knows who you are. So as His servant and His representative, I say for you to leave my sister. Go out of her.

Now, with your heads bowed, just a little longer. Now, Mrs. Kinzer, I believe your name was. There would be nothing exactly only just your faith to stop this jerking, since we've prayed there on the side. But I believe with all my heart that you're all right. You're well. I... It was this side, in here, right in along inside of your face. [Mark 16:17-18]

This happens to be her birthday, and said, "The happiest she ever had." Look at her as she goes down, isn't that marvelous?
Let's say: "Thanks be to God." [Congregation says, "Thanks be to God."] Thanks be to God.
Now, we love our dear Lord Jesus with all of our heart. Here at the Tabernacle, we've learned to love Him, and trust Him for everything that we have need of.
Now, thank you for keeping your head bowed. And now, they'll bring the next patient while you bow your head and be in prayer. It's your prayers too.
You're? [Brother Branham speaks to a lady in the prayer line--Ed.] Uh-huh. And what's... Yes, ma'am, and what is your trouble? Yes, ma'am. Is it in your ear... You deaf or something in your ear? Uh-huh. Yes, ma'am. Something like boils or something? Yes. All right. And you're from what?
This sister comes all the way from Ohio. Her trouble is in her ears; they burst, and run, and it's causing her a lot of trouble. And we believe that Jesus can defeat this, or has already defeated it. And we're coming now to claim her victory in Calvary.

And now, we bring her to You in the light of Calvary's cross, where Jesus standing there, that made the--the atonement. How You swung between the heavens and earth, reconciling the heavenly to the earthly by the shedding of Your Own Blood. How that You lifted up from the earth. You died in mid-air. And there the Blood dripped upon the earth to stain the old Calvary's cross. There's where You spoiled principalities. There's where You robbed Satan of everything that he had. You took back and give to the children of God, their rightful belongings. There's where You give us Eternal Life. There's where You give us the promise of the resurrection.


Now, to you, you may raise your heads. Our sister here couldn't show anything, because it wasn't running at the time; her ears. But we have, this morning, the assurance in my heart, and in her heart, and I'm sure in your heart, that God has healed our sister. Do you believe it? And it'll be a testimony. And God bless you, sister. Amen.
Thanks be to God. Now, shall we bow our heads again while we pray for someone else?

Now, our sister has bad ankles. She's walking on a--a--a crutch support. And she has high blood pressure and--and many things wrong with her. We're taking her to Jesus at this time for her healing. You be in prayer now, that your prayer may go through for her.
Now, our dear heavenly Father, our beloved sister stands here, yet a young woman. But Satan would give her a stroke if he could. He'd lay her up yonder on the bed of affliction. He will put her out of commission if he can. For he don't want her testimony. Why did this happen to this Christian? Why? We would question, or those who would not understand. But, Father, we know that it was for Your glory.
It was said one time, "Who sinned, this boy, or his mother, or his father?"
You said, "Neither, but that the works of God might be made manifest." [John 9:2-3]

God, we pray that this blood pressure will drop in such a way, till the doctor will say, "What happened to you?"
And to the doctor she'll say, "Jesus healed me."
We pray, God, that You'll make her to walk on these ankles without this support, that she'll be able to walk and to live and--and to be like she wants to be.


And your heads bowed every one. Now, sister, really, outwardly, I... Only thing I can said, that your face which was real red and flashy when you come up, has gone down. I don't know whether you feel... feel calm and cool. And now, let's see your crutch here, just a minute. I don't believe you're going to have to have it any more, just walk around here without it now. Just walk... See, just walk around here. Now, that's fine.

Let's say, "Praise the Lord." [Congregation says, "Praise the Lord."--Ed.]
All right, shall we bow our heads again now for prayer.
All right, would you bring the sister? And what's your trouble, sister? [The lady speaks to Brother Branham--Ed.] Oh. Oh, where you from? Madisonville, Kentucky. Mrs. Jackson. All right.
This sister has arthritis and some inward troubles that's very bad. And I don't know what will ever happen if God doesn't make her well. She'll probably have to have surgery, and that's very dangerous at the time. So we pray that God will be merciful and heal her.
Our kind heavenly Father, we bring to Thee today, our beloved sister, come all the way from Madisonville, Kentucky, down here to be prayed for. And Thou art the Healer Divine. And I bring her into Your omnipotent, and into Your great Presence. Her... Your power and Your Presence to rebuke this old arthritis that would put calcium deposit across these bones of her fingers, that would calcium deposit these ankles and knees. There she'd lay stretched out on the bed, someone feeding her through a tube. Oh, you evil spirit, you would cause her life to be took from this other infirmity; but we bring her today to Jesus Christ.

Satan, you've lost the victory, and Jesus Christ has won, and she can be well through Jesus Christ the Lord.
Sister, dear, there may not be nothing that the people could see, but I believe that you're healed. Raise your feet, just see if you feel better from your arthritis. You feel find now? Now, you all can see how she's moving her feet and everything. Walk right on down, and act just like a little young lady, just that you don't even... you don't... We just praise the Lord Jesus for all His goodness and mercy.

Everyone just real reverent now. All right. Is it the baby that wants to be prayed for? And you want to be prayed for too? Brother Wilson, I'm glad to get to shake your hand. And your baby is... [The lady speaks to Brother Branham--Ed.]
Oh, oh, yes, I see, it's the--the one that has something like a convulsions, that falls. I see it smashed its little face up there. Well then, sister, will you believe, and you, Brother Wilson, today, that Jesus will take this away from your baby, and--and let it get well?
Now, the little baby standing here has something wrong. It has convulsions that it falls, and its little face, its little eyes are bruised and black and so forth. And the father wants healing, too.

And Brother Wilson, what was your trouble? I forgot. [The brother speaks to Brother Branham--Ed.]...?... I see. Probably the same thing...?... the baby. All right, now let's all be real reverent.
Now, our kind heavenly Father, we bring to Thee first, as first come in the world, the father of the baby. And evil things has happened to him. The devil has conquered him in many great times. But today we're bringing him in the Presence of Jesus Christ, by the way of prayer. We're bringing him to Calvary, where--there where Jesus died that He might have fully five senses. And we pray God, that You'll be merciful to him. That we believe that these things that we do is according to Your Word. You said, "In My Name they shall cast out the evil spirit." We believe that. Though times people... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] [Mark 16:16-18]


And this morning, I said, "God, if You'll just help me awhile, till the crowd gets restless, well... Help me, till maybe, if I can keep the people with their heads bowed, so they won't see it done... See, everybody, if when I begin to put my hands on people and everybody begin to get, "Oh, I feel it my hand." See? Like that, and when It come, everybody begins to see how It would come; which was absolutely carnal impersonations. That's exactly right. That's the same Holy Ghost that told me to do it, said it was. So I knowed it was wrong.

Now, you dear people, there's many of you lined up here to be prayed for. It's getting late. I... And--and I--I know you want to be prayed for. And I want to pray for each one. The lady's got a little girl standing here, and a mother holding a little baby, and--and all. And we want them prayed for. We want them delivered, don't we? We want them to be made well, each one, these little boys knelt down here. And all back in there are people. And people here with cancer in bad shape and going to die.


Brother Neville come prayed. This little... Well, my buddy here, Brother Wood's is from Crestwood and his... Do you know them Brother Wood's, do you? Uh-huh. He's a contractor out there. Yes.
And the little baby here, where is it from, sister? Gary, Indiana. You believe it'd go--go back to Gary and get well, don't you? Sure you do. All right.
And where are the little boys from? Austin, Indiana, you believe they're going back and be well today too, don't you? Sure we do.
Is that little baby to be prayed for, sister? Where you from? Indiana. Where? New Albany. You believe the little baby's going to get well? Sure. And you believe all these other people is going to get well around here, everyone?
Now, let's bind ourselves together and say, "Jesus Christ, You live and reign." Oh, think of the supremacy of the Lord Jesus, Who could make that total blind baby eye's be open, Who could make that stammering man stand here and talk boldly and normally, Who could make these other things to happen. God is God, isn't He? That's a minor things to what He's going to do. He's just going to do great, great things, and just keep doing them, until He comes. That's right.

And all at once, something down here say, "Yes, you believe. Yes, you believe."

Both of you Christians? Neither one of you Christians? Will you give your life to Jesus this morning standing there? And promise to live for Him, if God will let your little baby get well and be normal? You will, will you, brother? You will. You will, will you, sister? God bless you. You now become Christians when you accept the Lord Jesus as your Saviour. Now, we accept Him as Healer for the baby.

You said in Your Word, "He that heareth My Words and believeth on Him that sent Me, has Everlasting Life and shall never come into condemnation." Looking over this young couple here, and seeing that Light hanging over them, as I started to go to the end of the line, and seeing that Light hanging over this young couple, I thought it good to speak to them, Father, not to the audience here, but You alone. [John 5:24]


You are Christians now, both of you, in Christ. Watch the difference of your baby. And where do you live now? Gary, Indiana. Write me or call me in the--in the next four or five days, and see what a difference you see in your baby then...?... Let us thank God for this wonderful work.
I started to go down here to the end of the line, and start praying. I kept noticing, the anointing is here greatly just now. Usually notice the people and so forth. But I'm kind of making that secondarily, casting it to one side till I have to, like on the lady awhile ago. But I seen It hanging over that couple, and I kept wondering where It was at. And I thought, "That's where It was at, right at those people there."

Brother Fleeman, have you got the--fixed there so we can get through? Now, I'll go down there and pray for each and every one. And I want you to come through rejoicing and thanking God for your healing.
To the people near, watch Brother Neville's broadcast next Saturday, about--about--for this next Sunday's service, if I get back in time for next Sunday. All right.
