Jesus Christ The Same Yesterday, Today, And Forever
58-0515, Jesus Christ The Same Yesterday, Today, And Forever, National Guard Armory, Fairfield, ME, 86 min




Now, they say southern hospitality, well, they... I guess this is what you call northern hospitality. So they're just as nice people here as I've ever seen in my life, with five times around the world.


And I used to herd cattle a lot in my days in the west, and I noticed when we would take the cattle up to the forest, when the ranger would stand there checking the cattle at the drift fence. Many is the times that I set there with my leg hooked around the horn of the saddle, watching. And the ranger didn't pay to much attention to the brand that was on the cattle, it was the--it was the breed of the cow. The blood that was in the cow, it had a tag, and it must be a thoroughbred hereford or it could not go on the forest. that was the main thing.

Now, we talk about Divine healing mostly in my meetings. But Divine healing is not what we try to major with. You can never major on a minor. Divine healing is just a--a gift to present Christ. Now, the...?... Divine healing to catch the peo--people's attention to let them know that Jesus loves them. And the main healing that we're after is the healing of the human soul. That men that are born again have Eternal life, and shall never perish, but be raised up again at the last day. And then it'll take the spirit of your...?...

Now, I believe that, if you being familiar, that Jesus Christ remains the same, yesterday, today, and forever. Now, we wish to read a little Scripture just in a moment.
And I want to say to the ones who are sponsoring here, to the pastors, we certainly thank you for this opportunity, my dear brethren. I--I been praying that God of heaven will bless your city abundantly, and give you the desire of your heart. [Hebrews 13:8]

Now, especially for those people who's never been in the meeting before, let's be real sincere now and to...?... "Let me just lay aside every prejudice in their heart." You in here that's sick, say, "God, be merciful to me, just feel it'll be my night for healing." Let the sinner say, "God, be merciful to me," too, while we pray. [II Peter 1:21]

Now, this meeting has been set together, Father, Thou has watched every move, and it's for no other purpose, but for the glory of God, and for the help of His glorious Church, the Body of His Son, invisible. [John 14:13]

And grant, Lord, that those who are kinda waiting, who are coming along the way, those feeble hands that's been hanging down. Those who have been cold and indifferent as they're waiting for the coming. May they take deep courage tonight, and rise in the strength of the Lord.
God, grant that You'll bring such a blessing in this neighborhood tonight, that'll start an old fashion revival in every home, in every church, in everywhere through the country. Lord, we realize we don't have too much time left according to the--the calendar of time, to labor in the cause of...?... different cities and the end time is...?...
Now, help us to conduct ourselves tonight as Your beloved children. And work through us by the Holy Spirit, for we ask it in the Name of Thy beloved Son, Jesus, Amen.

And if you'll approach it like that, approach His Word like you would approaching Him... For no one is any better than His Word is. If I cannot take your word, I would not believe you for anything, seeing you stood by men. And that's the way I believe by God. If God made a promise, and if He's the Almighty God, He must stay by His promise to maintain His position is Almighty God. He cannot make a promise, and then take it back? I could make a promise and have to take it back. You may make a promise and have to take it back, because we are men. And we're--we're finite. But He's infinite. God cannot get wiser, smarter; He was perfect to begin with. And when God makes a statement, it's just perfect. [John 1:1]

And I want to read a portion of His Word found in Saint John 12 and the 20th verse, and then Hebrews 13:8 for a text.
And there were certain Greeks among them... came up to the feast to worship:
The same therefore came to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired Him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus. [John 12:20-21]
The same therefore came to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired Him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus. [John 12:20-21]
In Hebrews 13:8 it's written:
Jesus Christ the same yesterday... to day, and for ever. [Hebrews 13:8]

So if you should see that all in this room tonight starving to death, and some great multimillionaire would come to the door and say, "Tomorrow at nine o'clock, I'm going to give fifty people in here a thousand dollars." No, one could have faith. If he said, "I'm going to give one person in here a thousand dollars tomorrow. No, one could have faith. You might be the one, and you might not be. The only way you could have faith is saying, "I'll give every one of you a thousand dollars." Then you can all have faith. "Whosoever will, let him come," says the Scripture. It's on whosoever will; it's up to you if you come. The invitation is given. [Hebrews 13:8], [Mark 8:34]

And he was taken--these Greeks was taken to Jesus by a minister, by the name of Philip. He went and got Andrew, and they taken them to Jesus. Now, if their desire was to see Him and got to see Him. And our desire is to see Him, and the Bible said that He remains the same yesterday, today, and forever, then why can't we see Him? [John 12:21], [Hebrews 13:8]

She said, "Ask your Sunday school teacher."
And as he asked the teacher, he would, rather, ask the lady teacher, and she said, "Ask the pastor."
And they asked the pastor, and the pastor said, "No, son, no one can see God and live."
Well, the little fellow, that did not satisfy his enthusiasm. So he used to fish up on the river with an old fisherman down there by the name of Wiseheart, used to be a deacon in our church. And then, one day coming down on the river, there come a storm. Been a dusty summer, and the water had dust all the leaves off, and the sun was setting in the west, as the old fisherman, and the little boy made their way down after running the net. And there was a rainbow came out. And as the old fisherman watched that rainbow, the little fellow noticed the tears begin to run down his bearded cheeks.

And he said, "What is it, my lad?"
He said, "God is so great, the God that made that rainbow." Said, "Can anyone see God?"
And the old fisherman overcome by the child's enthusiasm, put him in his arms, and he said, "God bless your little heart, honey, all I seen for forty years has been God." And the way to see God is to get God in the inside, then you can see right. Then you know Him, and you can understand, He will reveal Himself."

And now, you say, "Well, Brother Branham, I believe that God lives in the flowers." So do I. But these Greeks wanted to see Jesus, they wanted to see Him. Now, He said, in the Scriptures, in the Writings, "that the works that I do, shall you do also." Now, to really justify this statement then, we would have to go back in the Scriptures and get what Jesus was yesterday, and see in here what He will be today. [John 14:12, 19], [Matthew 28:20]

Now, what He was yesterday, He has to remain the same today, or He isn't the same yesterday and today. Now, in His promise He said, "The works that I do shall you do also, more than this shall you do," I know the King James here says "greater," but you get the right translation on it...?... it's saying "more." No, one could do greater; He stopped nature, raised the dead, healed the sick, done everything. You cannot do any greater, but God, the Holy Spirit could be in the Church universal, all around the world at one time. Just like all of the ocean's water. Like the... [John 14:12]

But if I took one bucket-full of water out of the ocean, or even a teaspoonful of it, out of the ocean, the same chemicals that's in the entire ocean, would be in that spoonful. Be just less in quantity, not less in quality. So the same Holy Spirit that was in Christ is in His Church. [Colossians 2:9], [II Corinthians 5:19]

Now, what kind of a fruit would it bear? If the life that was in Him is in His Church, it'll bear the same kind of Life that He bore when He was here. Do you understand?
Notice, if you went to a grape vine, you'd expect to find grapes. And down south, I don't know whether you have it here, we have pumpkins down there. And you go to a pumpkin vine, you expect to get pumpkins, if it's a good fertile vine. Watermelons, you'd get watermelons off of a watermelon vine. [John 15:5]

Notice, now lest to take too much of your time, hours could be spent on that, showing what He's promised. But now the subject is: Is He the same today that He was then? Is He's the same in every way, only a corporeal body. Now, when His Body came, then we will go home with Him.
But His Body has been raised up and set on the throne of God tonight to make intercessions on our confession. He is a Priest, High Priest of our confession, Hebrews 3:1. Then He's setting there as a High Priest. And may I say this Church, no other mediator between God and man, but Jesus Christ, the Scripture says so. And He is the only One that stands between God and man to make intercession. And the Scripture says that He is the High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities. [John 13:35], [Hebrews 4:15]

After He was baptized in the Holy Spirit, God came and was made manifest, forty days in the wilderness, He came out, and He starts His ministry.
Now, I want to ask you a question, and I want you to answer me by your hand being lifted. If we can find out what He was yesterday, and He will come here tonight among you people and declare Himself the same today as He was yesterday, how many of you will receive Him, let's see your hands. Go up in the air now, every believer, thank you. Let's watch what He was.

But in Saint John 1 we find that there was a man got saved and quickly, he went and got his brother. Now, that's a good sign that he got saved: he went and found his brother. And when he brought his brother to Him, Jesus, he was a fisherman. And the Bible said he was ignorant and unlearned. He could not even sign his own name.
And when he came in the Presence of the Lord Jesus, Jesus said to him, "Your name is Simon, and your father's name is Jonas." What do you think that ignorant and unlearned fisherman thought when a Man Who had never seen him in his life, or neither had he ever seen this Man; when he walked into His Presence, told him who he was and who his father was? Has anybody ever read that in the Scripture? Saint John the 1st chapter, about the 8th verse. [Matthew 10:6], [Acts 4:13], [John 1:42]

Now, you see what we've done with it? We've tried to educated the people to Christ. You just might as well forget it. There's no other program will do it, but the old fashion program, the new birth. Being borned again is the only way that it'll ever be. We've tried to--to educate them; we have tried to make societies, and so forth, to bring the people to a brotherhood. And it separates them further away from God. And we become prejudice, and build up denominational walls, and separate ourselves from the other brethren. [John 1:42], [Acts 4:13]

Now, as soon as He told that to Simon, he became His servant. Immediately then Philip got around Him too. Said--he said he another friend, and he went around the mountains, fifteen miles to find his friend Nathanael. Let's follow him just a few moments. And he goes to get him. Perhaps Mrs. Nathanael was at the house, and he said, "Where is Nathanael at?"
"Oh, he went out to the orchard just awhile ago."
Out in the orchard he goes, and there he finds Nathanael out there under a tree, as any good loyal person would be, praying. As a Christian gentleman, of course he wouldn't interrupt him when he was praying. After he got through, I can just see Nathanael raise up and say, "Well, if here ain't Philip."
Now watch him; he's got a message. Without receiving his introduction or anything, he said, "Come, see Who we found." [John 1:39-51]

Well, now you know, this here fellow Nathanael was orthodox, very straight, good fellow. And I can hear him say to Philip, "Now, wait just a minute, Philip. You must've went off on the deep end, or something. You mean to tell me that the Son of God would come out of Nazareth? That little group of people down there they're so mean? If the Son of God, the Messiah, was here, He'd come to the temple. He would come to the--to Jerusalem and not to Nazareth." [John 1:39, 42]

To you protestants first, what about Elijah? They didn't believe he went home on a chariot. They sent their little children down behind Elisha, saying, "You bald-head, why didn't you go up?" And the prophet cursed those children. And a curse come on them and two she bears killed forty-two little children. [II Kings 2:23-24]

He said, "He's already come, and you didn't know him." And they knowed He spoke of John the Baptist.
Now, to you Catholics. What about Saint Patrick? Did the church recognize him? They thought he was a witch. But after he was dead, the message had been given, then the church received him. What about Saint Francis of Assisi, a walking preacher with a Bible under his arm, he protested the Catholic church. When he went to preach down on the corner that day, the little birds was a hollering, he said, "Sisters, you stand still, keep still while I'm preaching." And they obeyed him. And after he was dead, now he's canonized as a saint in your church. [Matthew 17:10-12]

And about a hundred years later they found out she wasn't a witch; she was a saint. But God sent His message through just the same. And they failed to see it. They didn't know Who the Son of God was until He was dead, buried, and He rose again. God's sovereign; He does His Word. And His... The Church must wake up here in these last days. It's such a pitiful thing.

And some of the people went to her to see what was wrong. She said, "Not long ago he just took the way of staring, looking right straight ahead." Said, "He's a little human being, and he ought to notice things that pertains to this human life. The doctor told me long ago, he was better." But said, "He's not."
And I wonder if that isn't just about the way of the Church today. God is shaking every kind of a gift in front of the Church, and it just sets and stares, say, "Well, I suppose that's pretty good; if it been in my denomination, we might've accepted it."
Don't you see? Spiritually instead of mentally paralyzed the church set. There's been Billy Graham's; there's been Oral Roberts, there's been great men, Jack Shulers, and whatmore, in the last few years that's combing in this nation. And still they just, the church just sets, "Well, I'm this, or my church..." You get those ideas.

And I think Philip give him the best answer that anybody could give him, he said, "Come and see." Now that's sensible, logical, correctly, "Come and see for yourself; don't stay home. Come out and find out for yourself. Come and see."
And I tell you what... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] and besides that, He told him who his daddy was and what his name was."
"Oh, now just a minute," Nathanael would say to Philip, "Philip, I believe you went off on the deep end."
"You come find out for yourself." [John 1:46]

Now, remember, the first time He ministry, here He's introduced Hisself to Jewish generation in this manner. "Behold an Israelite in whom there's no guile."
Well now, you say, "Way he was dressed." No, he could've been an Arab; he could've been a Greek, most any nation. All the orients dress the same. Said, "Behold, an Israelite (How'd He know he was a Israelite?) in whom there is no guile."
And when He said that, it astonished him so much, he said, "Rabbi, when did You know me? I've never saw You, and You've never saw me. When did You know me?"
He said, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the tree, I saw you."
How many knows the Scripture says that? That was Jesus yesterday; that's the way He made Hisself known to the Jews. [John 1:47-48]

And He said... Listen to what He said, "Verily, I say unto you, you speak that against Me, the Son of man, I'll forgive you for it. But when the Holy Ghost is come to do the same thing, one word against It will never be forgiven in this world, nor in the world that is to come." How many knows the Scripture says that? Then where do we stand tonight if He declares Hisself by the Holy Ghost, that He's just the same? [Matthew 12:32]

And it's about noontime, and the disciples went into the city to buy some food. And while they were gone Jesus resting, 'cause He did the preaching, and the healing of the sick, and so forth. He was tired and weary. And the Father, no doubt, had told Him to go there, because in Saint John 5:19, He was questioned over a healing of a man, and He said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing in Himself, but what He sees the Father doing." How many ever read that? Saint John 5 [John 5:19]

Now, here He is, the Father had sent Him up there to Samaria, and--and the disciples was gone into the city. And let's think she was a beautiful young woman. She comes out, though she was a ill famed. She came out to get some water. And when she started to let the pot down...
If you was ever in the orient, they can pack them on their head and on their hips. And the women all go out there, and they got a windle; and they drop this little hook around it, and let it down and get a jug full of water, and set one on top their head, and one each hip. And they walk right along talking, just like ladies can, and never spill a drop of water. That big jug of two or three gallons setting on top their head and one on each hip. And they just walk right along talking.

And when she came out to get the water, she looked over there and there set a Jew, a Man that was only thirty-two years old, but He looked like He was fifty. Saint John 6, when He said, in there they said, "You say you were greater then--then Abraham? And you're a man not fifty years old yet? We know now you got a devil."
And He said, "Before Abraham was, I AM." And that I AM was a Pillar of Fire in the burning bush (You know that?) the Angel of the covenant. And when He was here on earth, He said, "I came from God, and I go back to God." That right? Then that Pillar of Fire, the Angel of the Covenant that Moses forsook Egypt esteeming reproach of Christ greater riches than the--the pleasures of Egypt. Then when He was made flesh and dwelt in a body here, He said, "I come from God and I go to God." That right?
And after His death, burial and resurrection, Paul was on his road down to Damascus to arrest those people who were making so much noise. And something struck him down: A Pillar of Fire standing there, It blinded him. And He said, "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou Me?"
He said, "Who are You?"
He said, "I'm Jesus." Referring back to the Father again, the Pillar of Fire. That's the Scripture.
Later He came into the prison when they was having a prayer meeting at John Mark's house, and opened the doors before the apostle Peter and set him free. [John 8:57-58], [John 13:3], [Acts 22:7-8, 11]

If It is, It'll perform the same things that It did back there. Because It's the Vine, and she's connected in the branches, it'll bring forth the same power, and the same Presence, and the same work. Got to, for He's the same.

And here He is setting at the well, and this woman was standing there, and He said, "Woman, bring Me a drink."
And she said, "We got segregation here. It's not customary for you Jews to ask Samaritans such. I'm a Samaritan woman."
He said, "But woman, if you knew Who you were talking to, you'd ask Me for a drink."
And she said, "Do You say that--the well's deep and You have nothing to draw with. And You're greater than our father Jacob who dug the well, and his cattle drink," and so forth.
What was He doing? Contacting her spirit. And as soon as He found where her trouble was, He said, "Go, get your husband and come here."
She said, "Sir, I don't have any husband."
He said, "That's right; you got--had five and the one you're living with's not yours." [John 14:12], [John 4:7-11, 16-17]

Jesus said, "I am He that speaks with you."
If that was the sign of the Messiah yesterday, it's got to be the same today, if He remains the same, declaring Himself. There's both Jew and Samaritan He declared Himself.
What did she do? She ran into the city and said, "Come, see a Man told me the things that I've done. Isn't this the very Messiah?"
What would we Christians think about it tonight if we'd hear that? Just wonder. She'll probably raise in the day of judgment and condemn many scholars, and teachers, and priests today. She recognized it. And she said, "Come, see a Man Who told me the things I've done, isn't this the Messiah?"
And out come the men, and when they heard Him they were persuaded that was the Messiah. [John 4:19, 25-26, 29]

And then, when He made Hisself known to the Samaritan, He did the same thing. But not one time did He ever do it before a Gentile, and forbid it to be done. Why? Two thousand years is come now for the Gentiles to get the training and teaching. But in the end of the Jewish dispensation, before they met chaos; if He declared Himself that way to the Jews to prove He was Messiah, and He acted that way to prove it; He's got to act the same thing at the close of the Gentiles or He isn't the same yesterday, today, and forever. You understand? Raise up your hand if you do. You understand that's true. He must do it.
He couldn't act to the Jews, to declare Hisself that way to be--the Jew, to both... There's only three races of people; that's Jews, Samaritans and Gentiles; Ham, Shem, and Japheth people, the three sons of Noah. That's all there is. So to Ha--to Ham and to Japheth's people, or Shem's people, rather, He's already declared Himself and left the Gentiles to this age, and right in the closing of it. When the sputniks is in the skies and the handwriting's on the wall, and nations are trembling, here He is among us having His picture taken. [Genesis 6:10]

God takes His man but never his Spirit. The devil takes his unbeliever but never the spirit, it remains on the others. And those two spirits are battling it out right now. And He is the same yesterday, today and forever.
One more quotation if you can spare it just a moment. So that you people with just one night and won't have all this chance to get up in the prayer line. Now, listen closely as I close. [Mark 6:44], [Hebrews 13:8]

Why didn't He say it to the lame or blind man? And he said, "I have no one to put me in the water, Sir, when I'm coming..." He could walk. He'd it thirty-eight years; it wasn't going to kill him; it was retarded. He said, "When I'm coming towards the water, someone else steps ahead of me."
He said, "Take up your bed and go on." There he went...?... [John 14:10], [John 5:3, 6-8]

In other wise, "Why don't You heal all the rest of them? Why don't You do this? Why did You do this on the Sabbath?"
He said, "Verily, verily (that's absolutely, absolutely), I say unto you, The Son can do nothing in Himself, but what He sees the Father doing."
The Father showed Him that man was there and in that condition. Same thing He did the woman at the well, same thing He did at Philip, on back. That was God working through His Son. Now, tonight, God's universal in all of His Church as the Vine and we are the branches. [John 5:19]

And she pressed through the crowd, through her priest and till she got to where He was. And everybody patting Him on the back, "Rabbi, we're glad to have You over here." He's on His way to raise up Jairus' daughter. And this little woman just touched His garment. Now, if you've ever seen the Palestinian garment, it hangs loose, and it's got a underneath garment. See? He couldn't have felt that physically. She touched His garment, and she went off and set down, or stood up, wherever it was, out in the audience. Jesus stopped and said, "Who touched Me? Who touched Me?"
And Peter, looking at it the way a man would look today, he rebuked Him and said, "Why, do You say who touched Me? Everybody's touching You."
He said, "But I've gotten weak. Virtue's gone from Me." Somebody's touched with a different kind of a touch, other wise. That's the touch we're talking about, not the intellectual conception, but something that comes from the realm that really touches. [Mark 5:28-31]

"Who touched Me?" Nobody said nothing. He looked out into the audience till He found the little woman, and He told her what had happened, had troubles with a blood issue; said, Your faith has saved you."
Brother, sister, if I never meet you again, until it's at the judgment seat of Christ, where the deeds that's done in the body could be made manifest, let me ask you this question and you answer me sanely: If He's the High Priest today that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities, wouldn't He have to act in the same manner that He did then, if He is the same? Certainly. If you just set in that audience and He was, As... [Mark 5:34], [Hebrews 4:15]

Then if He remains the same yesterday, today, and forever, how would he answer? The same as He did yesterday. You touch Him tonight, say, "Lord God, I won't be in that prayer line; I have no prayer card; so I won't be called up there, but oh, God, let me touch You." See what He does. See if He don't work... If you're a part of the Vine yourself, and His Spirit here, He will speak right back too, using a gift to manifest and prove that He's just the same that He ever was, now matter where you are. Just take God at His Word tonight and believe it with all your heart and God will make it manifest. If He will do such in the presence of you, I don't say that He will, if He will do such, I trust that you'll believe Him and accept Him. [Hebrews 4:15], [Hebrews 13:8]

How many ministers here knows that history, church history, and prophecy repeats itself at least once or twice? True. If you take Matthew 3. "Out of Egypt I call My Son." Refer that back and see if it wasn't Jacob. That was His son too. See? History repeats itself.
And there went a great spirit, announcing His first coming. There went a great spirit before the destruction of the Jews, in the form of John the Baptist, he did no miracles at all but was a mighty preacher. Now, in him came the spirit, that did not be a forceful preacher, but just signs and wonders begin to take place everywhere. Just at the closing of the age. This is the closing of the Gentile age. Let us pray. [Matthew 2:15]

O God, let us act tonight as real Christians, as real sons and daughters of God. Give us faith to believe Your Word and stand, for we read in the days of yore, when men and women who...?... back, and even those like Nicodemus, who slipped around. But, oh, how we admire that one who stepped right out and took His position.
God, I pray tonight, that You will do that to every one in here, give them such a--a blessing of the moving of the Spirit, that every person in here will take their position as real believers. Grant it, Lord.
Heal the sick and afflicted. And we are taught in the Scriptures that when...?... the first day after You raised from the dead, on the first Easter morning. There was two men by the name--one of them name we cannot tell, and the other was Cleopas, and they were on their way down to another little city called Emmaus. And as they went along talking about the Scripture, and about You, You stepped right out of the bush and walked with them all day long. And they didn't realize who You were.

God, may that be the testimony of these people tonight, that's going back down in this city in different places. Come, Jesus, and speak to our hearts and do something here tonight that many, many, boys and girls might know that as we read it from the Bible, the way He acted back there in that day, and claimed He's the same today; act in Your Church tonight the same, Father, that the people might say on their road home tonight, "Did not our hearts burn within us as He spake to us in the way." Grant it, Lord, and praise shall be Thine, in the Name of Thy Son, Jesus, Amen. [Luke 24:32]

And now, if you're a critic, or you're a unbeliever, I would not stay in this type of meeting while this is going on, because any Bible reader knows, that evil spirits goes from one to another (See?), as...?... So it's not playing church.
Here a few nights ago, you'd a heard of Ananias and Sapphira, if it hadn't been for the mercies of God. And how many times have you people heard, and it's read in the services, how things take place like that, at any time in the meeting. So be real reverent, quiet, be seated, loving, be in prayer.

Y-number-2, would you raise up your hand? Look at your neighbor's card; he may be deaf, dumb, and can neither speak or hear. You got number 2? Come right here, lady. Number 3? Prayer card number 3, would you raise your hand please? Would you come over here, lady? Number 4, just raise up your hands quickly so we can see where we're at and... Number 4? Prayer card, way up in the balcony, all right. Number-4 come right on down, prayer card number 4. Number 5? Now, the boys come down and mixed these cards all up, and just give them to you, and that--that's the way we have them. Number 5? Anybody got prayer card 5? Check your hand, or wave your hand so we know. All right. Six, prayer card 6 raise your hand, all right, lady, that's right. Number 7, number 7, 8, now watch now, so that nobody, somebody might, they're crippled and when it is you have to pack them up. You see, if it's somebody deaf and dumb... 8, 9, 10, 9, 10, all right, 11, 12, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, yes, sir, all right.

Now, I'm going to ask that everyone be just as reverent and quiet as you can. Now, I know that many times, God blesses the people, and they scream out; that's perfectly all right. I'm a southerner, I'm used to that. See? That's doesn't bother.
But now don't take any pictures that a light flash or anything, just be reverent. 'Cause the Holy Spirit is a Light. How many knows that, knows by the Scripture It is a Light?
Now, how many in here that does not have a prayer card, anywhere in the building, no matter where you are? You do not have a prayer card, yet you want Jesus to heal you, raise up your hand. Say, "I want Jesus to heal me," raise your hand please, so I just kinda get a general conception. All right, that's very fine. All right, now be real reverent.

And now, that's... Now, everyone in here, as far as I know, is a total stranger to me, so that people that might be setting by. The only persons that I know in this building is Mr. Sweet, Dr. Vayle, and my boy, ever--I think that's him standing back there in the dark; I'm not sure. That's the only ones that I know.
How many in here's strange to me, raise up your hands, I don't know you, know noth--in the prayer line the same way? Now, all right.

Here on the platform out through the audience, and declare Himself the risen Jesus, if you all will love Him and believe Him, say Amen to Him. God bless you.

He do--He didn't have to heal when He was here on earth, but He did it that it might be fulfilled. That's what He's doing today. To end up the Gentile age, return to the Jews, the Church goes home, destruction comes to the world, There's your annihilation and gone. And you see, only thing that's supposed happen tonight, is if you drink some vodka, it's already changed. See? Nothing you can do about it. Course we got the same thing to shoot back that way. What does it do? Throw the world from her orbit, just like the Bible says, and away she goes.

And when He did, He set down with His back turned to the tent, and He said to Sarah, or said to Abraham, "About--according to the time of life, I'm going to visit you. Sarah's going to have this baby that you've waited for for twenty-five years."
And Sarah back in the tent, behind the tent, behind the Angel, smiled. And the Angel said, "Why did Sarah laugh?" How many ever read that? "Why did Sarah laugh?" What was He? A fortuneteller, telepathy? That He was... That Angel had the last message that Sodom received before she was destroyed. "As it was," said Jesus, "in the days of Sodom." [Luke 17:26], [Genesis 18:10-13], [Luke 17:26-28]

Now, I turn to the woman. Now, lady, you and I being strange to each other, and this is our first time meeting... I'm years older than you, and this is our first time of ever meeting. But this to the audience, when you read Saint John 4, look at this, exactly the same thing. Our Lord met a woman that He'd never seen before in His life. And as at a little panoramic, as I said a while ago, like this. Now, here she is, and He found where her trouble was, and told her what her trouble was. And she said, "This is the Messiah."
Now, me not knowing you, my sister, I don't know whether you're Christian, whether you're a infidel, what your life is, what it's been; I--I don't know; I have no way of knowing. I don't know nothing about you. But it's something the supernatural powers of God, through this Angel here, will come and... If I said to you, "Lady, you're sick; you're going to get well. Go ahead." You'd just have my word. That's all you'd know about. Which, that could be all right. [John 4:18, 25]

Now, as the audience, stays reverently, and you are a reverent group of people, here is the hour. Now, if you, if the woman, honestly in her heart, she knows that something's going on. She could not feel the way she feels now, standing before a man. I'd be a man just like your father, brother, husband. But there's something that just begin happening, a real humble, sweet, feeling coming to you. That is right. If that's right raise up your hand. See? This Angel, you see His picture, between you and I, is this real Light.

If the Lord God will reveal to me what you're here for, would you believe Him to be the Messiah? And will go tell others the Messiah still lives? You will? You believe the little eye will come straight of the child? Crooked eye, crossed, you believe that He will make--He will make it well? You will believe? You got something else on your heart too, haven't you besides that child? Your mother, she's dying; she's got cancer. That is true. And you're worried about her salvation, because she's Catholic. That is true. Don't worry, have faith. Send her that handkerchief; don't doubt, you can have what you ask for. God bless you, go, and believe now and receive. God bless you, sister. [Acts 19:12]

Then, if this is the Pillar of Fire that led the children of Israel, if it is the One that was here on earth and said, "The works that I do shall you also when I'm gone... I'll be with you, even in you." That same Vine would bear the same fruit, would it not? Well, here It is, doing the same thing. Don't disbelieve. Every one of you, right now, should believe. [John 14:12], [Matthew 28:20]

The lady, she's suffers with a nervous condition. She has heart trouble, and she's got varicose veins. That's exactly the truth. You believe now? You say, "Mr. Branham, you guessed that." I did not. God knows that. Let's speak to her a little farther. You doubt it? May the Lord grant it.

Do you believe? Have faith. Don't doubt. Now, just believe, in the audience.
We're strangers to each other, I suppose, lady. First time we've met. It's... Now, you're--if you was sick, I--I couldn't do nothing about it because I'm just a man. But God can do something about it. Now, if Jesus was standing here with this suit on, you'd say, "Lord Jesus, heal me."
He'd say, "I've already done it." See, healing is something like salvation; it's past. "He was wounded for our transgressions, with His stripes we were healed." It's already finished in the atonement. We just believe it. [Isaiah 53:5]

Same thing with this woman setting on--setting right down there in the seat. It just demon power. This woman's suffering from a real strange condition; it's exactly right. Nervous, and you're always scared. You got heart trouble, and that's right. And you're nervous and got a scary condition. And you're scared too; you've had a--something happen to you here some time ago, you had a knot taken, or a growth off from the head, and it's coming back again.
That little lady setting there is suffering with a mental nervousness. That's right. That's right young lady. You believe that God will make you well too? Yes, you believe it? You do? Raise up your hand if you believe it. You're both healed. Go on your road rejoicing. Jesus Christ makes you well. Don't fear about it no more; it's all over now, go home. He was just lying, that demon was, but he's gone from you now. Just go believing, having faith.
Do you love Him? He's the great Alpha and the Omega.

I challenge you to believe it. Watch, be reverent now. Don't move around.

Dear God, I claim the life of this child, through Jesus Christ, may he be well. May the mother be blessed. And may the community be blessed. For we ask this in the blessed Name of the Lord Jesus. Amen. Don't worry now, have faith sonny boy; you'll be all right.

There's many in this building is suffering with the same thing you are. But God lives in the heart. Do you believe He can heal heart trouble and make you well? You believe it? Let us pray.
Lord God, spare this woman for Your glory as I ask in Jesus' Name, Amen. Don't you fear. Go believing it now, with all your heart, don't doubt.
You had the same thing, so just keep moving, believing God.

Do you believe God would heal you of that arthritis, setting there, sir, and make you well? The elderly gentleman setting there with the lady, you believe that God will make you well? You do? Say, to you that touched Him then. You're a fine man. You believe your leg trouble will get all right? Your name is Mr. Young. Now you can go home and be well. That is true, wasn't it? All right. That was just...?... slip up so that I could touch you and see you believe to begin with.
Are you believing?
The lady, setting down here, the second lady, kinda heavy set, suffering with high blood pressure, looking right at me in the first row there, you believe the Lord God makes you well, sister? You believe it? Could you accept it as your healing? Raise your hand up if you accept it. That's right. Wave your handkerchief way up high, don't be ashamed with faith like that, and to trust God. Have faith.

I challenge your faith. Here's a dear soul setting here, right back there behind you. Setting there with that little black hat on, got trouble with your head, she's praying about it. That is right, isn't it, sister? Right here, the little lady with the black hat on and glasses. You're having trouble with your head. But you don't feel it now, do you? You were healed just then.
The lady setting next to her looked like that... You believe, lady? I just want to contact your spirit. Lay your hand on her and the lady next to you there. The lady that was just healed, lay your hand on the next lady. Yes. You believe the Lord God will heal you, lady? You have complications, many things wrong with you, such as diabetes, for one; heart trouble, for another. That's right. If that's right, raise your hand. All right, go home and believe it be over, it will leave.

What do you think about it, lady? Do you believe that you're healed now? Go on your road rejoicing; that's the way to do it. Amen.
Nervous trouble which causes your heart to flutter, and so forth. That's right. Really, which is an indigestion. There's a lot of that in here. How many suffer...?... How many in here suffer with nervous trouble, raise your hands just a minute. See, how you going to call that? See, it's just everywhere. All you with nervous trouble, stand up to your feet. Stand up to your feet if want to accept Christ right now. (Listen, stand right over here just a minute, please.)

Every person with stomach trouble stand to your feet. All over the building, stand to your feet, with stomach trouble. Stand right here a minute, sir. You'll see the glory of God. If thou canst believe.
Back trouble, stand right back there. All with back trouble get up to your feet. I don't care how long you been paralyzed, don't even know, stand up to your feet. You can see the glory of God.
Now, do you believe Him that His Presence is here? Do you believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is present? If you are, raise up your hands, everybody in the building. Stand up to your feet, each one of you; stand up, every one. I don't care if you couldn't get up a few minutes ago, you can now. Raise up. There you are. [Mark 9:23]

All that believe that raise your hand? The Bible said that promised that He would be here in these days to do these things. He said, "These signs shall follow them that believe." How many is a believer? "They shall lay their hands on the sick, and they shall recover." Put your hands on somebody next to you, if you're a believer. "These signs shall follow them that believe." That's what the Scripture says. [Hebrews 13:8], [Mark 16:17-18]

Lord God, we thank You for Your great Presence, the Holy Ghost that's now here to take over and to move every sickness from this building.
Oh, Satan, you have lost the battle, you deceived the people down through the ages, but the hour has come, for you have failed. Come out of these people, Satan, I charge you by the Name of Jesus Christ, Who's here to defeat you and has defeated you. Leave this audience in the Name of Jesus Christ, come out of the people.
All that accept God as your Healer, Christ as you Healer, raise your hands please. Amen. Give us a chord of "I Will Praise Him." Everyone now, just put yourself, and let's worship Him. All right.
