Thank you, brother [unclear name]. Good evening, friends. Happy to be back again tonight to minister again.
We're very happy for the results of last week's services, and how our Heavenly Father has blessed in such a great way. Many of them has already given in their testimony. Some colored lady just come running up just now and placed a testimony or something in my hand, said, “I was healed.” And I see different ones that tell me about, and their letters come in, of how different afflictions has left their body.
We're so happy because that our Lord is here to make Himself known to the people by healing their bodies, forgiving their sins.
And we trust that the next days of this meeting will be more than what the first part of the—this last week was. May God grant it to all.
2
And we're happy to be here in this city. And knowing that other great campaigns are going on in the city, we pray for each of them, that God will work great wonders in their meetings also.
We've been trying to get out a little early each night, so that we can give the people an opportunity. Many of them has to go to work. And after being here for two weeks before, and speaking many things that the Lord did, and giving testimonies, speaking on the Word, I feel that all's about necessary now is to be praying for the sick people.
And last night, we had a glorious night of cripples, and them out of the wheelchairs and things being delivered. That was what many people term the evidence of a miracle. Not altogether, that isn't right. Anything that's contrary to the regular run of anything, the run of nature or something is a miracle.
3
Jesus healed a boy one time by.... He spoke a Word to his father. And the next day.... The boy's fever left him that day and he begin to amend. And the Bible called it a miracle. This is again the second miracle Jesus did when He came into Galilee.
First, He turned the water to wine. Now, that water would have been wine someday anyhow, perhaps. But it'll have to go through the regular procedure of going up into the grape vine, coming out into the grape, and being brought back, and so forth like that.
Jesus just bypassed all that, because He was the God of nature. He just bypassed the vine and everything, and made the water right into wine, because He had the control of all things. Didn't have to be distilled, or however they make wine. I don't know. But they.... Anyhow, He just turned it right into wine there. And that was what we would call a miracle.
4
Then the next thing He did, was to just speak a Word. The man was trying to get Him to come pray for someone. He said, “Go your way; thy son liveth.”
And the next day, his father come to the place where he—his home in his own country, and he met one of his servants. And he said, “Thy son liveth.”
He said, “What time did he begin to amend?”
He said, “About a certain hour yesterday.” And Jesus.... Or the man knew that that was the hour that Jesus said, “Thy son liveth.” And himself believed. He believed what Jesus said, and he said, “This is the second miracle when the fever begin to leave.”
5
So we're happy that our Lord is working miracles all over the world.
I just heard a sailor boy on the radio a few moments ago. I tried to get this temple over here, the Evangelist, or Angeles Temple. Oh, they have religious program all the time. And I have a little radio I pack along with me for that purpose, especially when I come out here.
And I was hearing on a radio from ... a broadcast from down to some sinner down here, that, a sailor boy that just come back from overseas or something. And said in Korea and different places, having a great revival.
Oh, my, isn't that marvelous? Our Lord is coming back to earth again. All nature is groaning for that day of sweet release.
6
Setting at a table here some time ago with some fine Armenian friends of mine up at Fresno. I was very thin then. A lady wanted to help me. And she come out, and she said, “Brother Branham, take these.”
And it was medicine. And I looked at it, I said, “Well, thank you.” I didn't want to hurt her feelings by it. And I don't take much medicines. I said, I....“ And I said, ”It's all right. Now, it's all right.“
And there set a doctor setting right there by my side. He said, “Let me see what it is.” And he looked over, and it was some kind of a vitamin. And the doctor said, “Brother Branham,” said, “that's not a medicine.” Said, “That's a vitamin.”
I said, “Well not.... See, it's all right.” I said, “Medicine's okay.” And I said, “I don't mean to disregard anything that'll help anybody. No, sir. I.... Anything that'll help you, I'm for that. That's right. That's mercy.” And I said, “I don't disregard it as medicine, if it was medicine anyhow.”
7
He said, “But here's what it is, Brother Branham.” He said, “Our land has become so poor. All the vitamins pulled out, till it's artificially fertilized and things, to when we eat, we don't get the right amount of vitamin no matter how much we eat. It's just bulk.” And said, “We don't get the vitamins. And everyone should take those vitamins.”
You see, the ground's wore out. Everything's just.... It's just the end, isn't it? That's right. It's just the end. That's right. Looks like the old world's a reeling in home. One of these days, there'll be a big atomic or hydrogen explosive somewhere will start a relay of that chain of items of splitting. And I don't know what I'm.... maybe what I'm talking about. But I feel that somewhere in there, she'll be destroyed again by fire.
8
And ten.... I say five hundred years from tonight, this little group that's setting here will be somewhere. That's right. And wherever we are then, we'll be where we'll have to be to spend eternity. And tonight, it may be a decision time, and the last time that some of us will have to make our decision. Let's make it tonight in the One who, the only Man who ever proved that what He was.
We have many great religions in the world, of philosophers and so forth, Confucius, and Mohammed, and different ones.
And at the grave of Mohammedan, for two thousand years now, they've led a white horse daily, expecting him to rise and get on that, and ride away to victory, and ride the world down. But he died, and he's laying in the grave.
Confucius, the great Chinese philosopher, and the founder of Buddha religion and so forth, of all those religions, they're all dead and gone.
But there's only one Man who says, “I have power to lay My life down and take it up again.” And He proved that He had the jurisdiction over death.
9
His followers coming down from the great Saint Paul. When death strikes them, they're.... I've seen them many times. Their eyes are glant—glazed, look like shine like an Angel, scream, “O death, where is thy sting? Grave, where is thy victory? But thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
He's the One that I've got my confidence in tonight. He's the one that I love. And I know that you love Him too. So let's worship Him with all of our heart.
It's my lot tonight to bring this part of the ministry, as His servant here that's.... Where His other servants are all over the world.... His Gospel's went around the world. And I'm here tonight to try with all my heart to bring the facts of a risen Jesus Christ in the midst of this audience to you people. Please receive Him, and believe that His words are true.
10
Now in here His written Word. And it... his friend. And he jumped off of the tractor, run through the field. They grabbed one another up in their arms and lifted each other up and down, praising God. He was a friend to the king's private secretary, King George of England.
Coming into the Jeffersonville office there, came a cablegram from King George of England, “Brother Branham, I understand through my secretary that one of his friends was healed of multiple sclerosis. I desire of you to come pray for me, that our Lord Jesus will heal me.”
And I know the Angel of God which said, “You'll pray for kings and monarchs and great men.”
Oh, I asked Him if I could go. Now, King George of England is healed of multiple sclerosis. He's well. He's a well man. His ulcers is gone. Oh, my.
Amazing Grace! how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now I'm found,
I was blind, but now I see.
11
I think of the time coming down through Louisville, Kentucky, feeling along the stone wall, big glasses over my eyes. I couldn't see where I was going. Someone walked up to me and said, “Do you believe Jesus Christ can heal you?” Oh, my. Tonight, my eyes are 20/20. I can read newspaper print five feet away from me.
What was it? The power of resurrected Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God, Which is in our presence now. Certainly He is.
Oh, Christian people, talk about a day of Pentecost, what could happen in this building tonight would make that look little back there. That is true. Oh, if you could just get with one accord, have one alternative: that is to see God glorified.
12
When Jesus was here on earth...Now, I know a lot of people said
I was a spiritualist, a medium, and I was mental telepathy. And any one with good common sense knows better than that. That show that there's a mental deficiency of those people that think that. That's right.
Not long ago in a certain meeting at Cleveland.... Brother Hall was at the meeting. A doctor came into the meeting. He said, “Oh, it's mental telepathy.” He said.... He said, “I want....” Told one of the ladies that just been healed.
She said, “Oh, that brother's doing miracles in the name of the Lord Jesus.”
He said, “Well, I want to see him.”
Said, “What you want to see him for?”
He said, “I got something wrong with my leg.”
I said, “Doctor, it's not your leg; it's your head what's wrong down there.” I said.... That's right. Yes, sir.
13
Talk about mental telepathy.... My, it's the power of Jesus Christ in His promise by His Word, that He said He would do these things in the last days. And they're here to vindicate His presence. Amen. Do you believe that?Yes sir. He was called a spiritualist and a medium too (That is true), called Beelzebub.
One time, there was a man came to Him by the name of Philip. And he got saved, and he went and got his brother, Nathanael. And when he told him, said, “Come, see who I found, who Moses and the law spoke of, Jesus of Nazareth.”
He said, “Could anything good come out of Nazareth?” a little critical.
Said, “You come and see.”
And when he got down there to Him, He's.... Maybe Jesus was having a prayer line, praying for the sick. He seen Nathanael coming up; He said, “Behold, an Israelite in whom there is no guile.” Went ahead....
And he said, “Whence knowest Thou me, Rabbi (or Master, Reverend, whatever you want to say, Teacher)?”
And He said, “Before Philip called you, when you was under the tree....”
He said, “You're the Son of God, the King of Israel.” And he fell down and worshipped Him, become a disciple. Is that right?
14
Now, what if he'd have walked away and say, “I.... You know, that's mental telepathy. I've got to study that thing out.” You'll never figure God out, so you might as well forget about it now. You've got to believe it. God is not known no other way but by faith. You have to accept it.
Then there was a woman coming out from the well to get some water, about eleven o'clock in the day. Probably she'd been out all night and didn't get up early enough. Or maybe she was so ashamed of herself, she didn't go out with the respectable ladies. But she came to get some water from the well. And when she did, why, there Jesus was setting at the well. And she came up, and He spoke to her, and said, “Bring Me a drink.”
And she said, “It is not customary for You to....”
He talked to her a little while, and He said one word, “Go get your husband.”
She said, “I don't have any husband.”
Said, “You had five.”
She said, “I perceive that You're a prophet.”
She went into the city and said, “Come and see a Man that told me all the things I ever done.” See?
15
Now, Jesus said, “These things that I do shall you also, and greater than this (or not greater, but more of them) shall you do, because I go to My Father.” Do you believe that? That's the promise, is it?
And when Jesus was here, healing the people.... Listen closely, we're going to call the prayer line. When Jesus was here healing the people, He said He did it that it might fulfill the Word of God. Is that true?
Now, I want to ask you: since that time down to this time, I've never seen, or never knew of this Spirit being in the world: never read of it, or any book or anything, teachers, and so forth. It's the hour for It to be here at the church. That's right. Here it is. It's here in vindication. It's here in regards to God's Word, to fulfill what Jesus said would come to pass.
Now, It's moving on. While it's here, you receive it, believe it, accept it. Say, “God, I believe You with all my heart.”
And He speaks of Jesus. Jesus is the One. Jesus is the One paid the price. He's the only One can heal you. You just have faith in Him, and believe it. And this Angel of God vindicates that He is here; His presence is here, and His Word is being fulfilled. Do you believe it? God bless you.
16
Now, we.... Is Billy Paul near now, to see how many cards they give out? My boy, if he's near.... All right. while he's coming, I wish to say these words, that.... I suppose he give out fifty cards, probably in the service this afternoon.
Now, while we're waiting on him, let's just have a few of the people that's got maybe some certain diseases, or got prayer cards, or so-and-so; they'd like to be....
How many's already seen the discernment? So, let's see how many's already knows that that's true, that It sets right here, tells the people the secrets of their hearts, the things that they've done way back in their life, and so forth. Is that right? Tells them all about their lives and so forth....
17
Now, we know that that is truth. Is there anybody here that's got a prayer card, that's going to be prayed for tonight, that has never seen the discernments of the Spirit of the Lord? Nobody. All right. Then you're the ones that's the ones asked to believe. You're the ones to take on and believe.
Has anybody found out where the boy is at yet? We have to kind of put a bell around him, won't we? Whew. Did someone wake him up? His face turning red now, he's an Irishman too, although his mother was a German.
His.... He was borned on Friday the thirteenth at three o'clock in the evening. We was going to call him jinx. But I.... We don't believe in that, do we, son. No, we.... His mother was a German, and I was Irish, so instead, we call him Hiney Michaels. But God had us to call him Billy Paul from his father and the great Saint Paul the Apostle.
18
And I'm happy tonight that I believe that with all my heart now, that God is going to send my boy into the ministry, into the fields to win souls for Him. I just brought him from the regular high school and putting him now in a college, a Christian college.
First, before this in this, he was converted recently, came in. I'm.... He's wanting to receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost. And I want him to get that. That seals him away in the kingdom of God then. “Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God whereby you're sealed until the day of your redemption.”
And in the last days, there's going to be two classes of people: them that has the seal, and the others will have the mark of the beast. That's right. So the seal of the God is the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 4:30. Is that right? The Seal of God....
19
All right. Now, we're.... Most everybody here has seen the discernments of the spirits, of how that the Holy Spirit does these things. And I've tried to keep myself from It tonight, to see if we could keep from having that, if possible.
But God knows all about your heart. He knows every one of you, and He.... Only difference it does, when you call the people up here, it gives them a present contact. Did you ever.... Have you noticed their faces when they be come up here when the anointing was on, when the anointing was on?
Now, I tell you what happens. How many seen the picture of the Angel of the Lord, where it's been tested over there? Just a very few. How many has not seen it, let's see your hands, never seen the picture of it? Well my. I guess we're completely out of them, long ago. And the picture of It, scientifically proven by scientists. That's right. The best that we have.
20
Ma'am. Sister Kopps wants to be prayed for, now. Dear heavenly Father, I pray Thee to be merciful to our dear sister just now. Grant just now for her healing. May the Holy Spirit come upon this woman. We know that she does a great work here with her husband, working for You, singing, and teaching, and doing many things around the church here. We feel that she's worthy of this blessing that we're asking. And Lord, Your servant, with my hands upon her, I ask that this will be the turning time, right now. From this hour on, may it leave her and never return again. In the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen. God bless you, Sister Kopps.
Let us say, “Praise be to God.” Believe Him.
21
Excuse me. Now, praying for her brought that Spirit down on me again, now. See? It come down. I believe I'll call just two or three out of the audience. Will you be reverent while It's here? I didn't.... I was trying to keep away from that, but maybe the Lord had something else different.
Let's just call maybe a certain prayer cards. Go get me prayer card.... How many is there along there? Let's see you all with a prayer cards. How.... Is it from 1 to 50? In Y's? Y's, 1 to 50 I thought. All right. Y's 1.... Bring me.... Let's start in.... Let's bring me number 3, number 3 prayer card. Who's got number 3? And then we'll take another number away over in the.... somewhere. Maybe get two or three. Anybody with prayer card number 3? All right. Come ahead, lady, if you have prayer card number 3. And let this lady come up on the platform.
22
Just a moment now while the anointing is near. Everybody reverent. While she's coming, I wish you just know how this feels here, what a feeling of a great supernatural feeling.
I'm going to just.... Maybe I can stand up for a few minutes. That's all right.
23
Here's what happens, friends. Now, right now, God who loves us all, that Being, that One, I.... You may not be able to see it, but it.... Something's happened to me. Now, It's.... I feeled it. I feel different, kind of a strange feeling of awe and reverence. And It's here now. And there's not a thing but what He knows about. He knows all things. He will reveal it to me just as He will let me know it. All right, you bring the lady on over.
Now, this lady here is just one. We'll call maybe another number or two out in the audience. Now, don't motion or hold your card to me. I don't know what.... I don't want to know that. See, see?
24
Howdy do, sister. I want you to come just a little close. Do you had the prayer card number 3? Is that right? And do you love our Lord Jesus? Do you believe that He is near? You do? Now, that feeling....
Now, audience, that's what I want you to get at. Watch the people when they come, when this is anointing like this, see. Now, I don't know nothing about the lady. And what am I trying to do now? God knows I know nothing about that woman. Only thing that I know, that she's a lady standing there. She was called by a number on a prayer card, just happened to come up here.
You don't even have to have your prayer card. You know that. My, hardly any of them last evening had prayer cards. The prayer card just keeps everybody from rushing up at once, so we can be in order and have some kind of a system to it.
25
And now, that's near. Now, in a few minutes.... Now, if It would.... If it does, I don't know it will. If it does, you'll see it. It'll move down over me. Now, it's here now, real close. Now, the One that does that speaking is ma... just a.... Is right here near. I don't see it. I have seen it. Hundreds and thousands have seen it. But now, it knows just what's wrong with her. It's the Spirit of God. The same pillar of fire that led the children of Israel is right in our midst now. See?
Now, if it does.... Now, if someone don't get in line out there.... There's so many people trying to believe now. And now, but you watch her, just what takes place now.
26
Now, I want you to talk to me, sister, so that I'll be able to see just what's wrong.... Now, I can't heal you, you understand that. You know that, sister. Yes, it's the Lord Jesus. You're Spanish, I suppose? Italian. And are.... Do you believe Him now with all your heart? With all your heart now? Now, if you and I.... Are you American borned here? You born from across the sea. Well, you from across the sea and me over here, it'd have to be some—something or another contact. Is that right?
Yes ma'am. Now, this that you feel is the Spirit of the Lord. And now, I'll have to let Him do the speaking. 'Course, you being the first patient, it may be just a little strange for a moment. You see?
27
But you.... I see that there's been a great change in you and your nerve condition in the last year or so. Isn't that right? You're begin to get extremely nervous. Isn't that right? And now, that you might know what that is, it's a strange feeling that just strikes you.... It's spasmly like. It'll strike one time; then it'll be off and you'll feel good; then you'll.... Is that right? I see you. I see you where you're standing, and where you're—you pray about it. Sometimes when it hits you, you try to go and pray. Isn't that right? I see you with a light looking like dress on. And then, you are.... You're su.... There's something wrong with liver too, isn't there? Don't you have a liver trouble? Isn't that.... Yes. Uh-huh. It comes down and.... That is right. And you have something wrong in the.... and you.... Well, you're just a almost a wreck, aren't you? Don't you have a hernia also? Isn't that right? Both sides are herniated. Isn't that right? Yes ma'am. I'll call.... Yes, ma'am. Isn't that true?
You.... But you've tried so hard. I see you've been prayed for from this, and it seems to get no results. Isn't that right? See? Yes.
28
Now, I want you to come here just a minute. Now, sister, I'm here to try to help you. And I want to help you. And the only thing that I can do now, is.... Jesus said, “If ye believe that I am able to do this....” And do you believe now that I have told the truth about this Angel, and He told me if I get the people to believe me and be sincere when I prayed, nothing would stand before the prayer. You believe it? Come here and let me pray for you.
Our heavenly Father, seemingly while speaking to the woman, her faith moved way up. And knowing that this ulcerated liver here will cause great trouble quickly if something isn't done.... And Father, I pray that You'll heal her. Grant it, Lord. I lay my hands upon her in commemoration of Your Word. The last words that uttered from Your lips as You were going up, You said, “They shall lay hands on the sick; they shall recover.” I believe You, Lord. In the name of Jesus Christ, I ask for her healing. Amen.
29
What do you think, sister? You're going to be well? You are, sister. God bless you. Go.... You've been worried about your eyes too, haven't you. It's been bad. Yes. Weak eyes. Go, take them off, and just go on, and forget about it, and be you healed.
30
Now, the Lord is here to heal anybody. Now, let's see, what was her prayer card number? 3? Let's try another one, a little.... Let's try 7. Who's got number 7? Just a card number 7. If 7 isn't here, let's try 25. Here's.... Wait a minute. Right here. Number....
That little boy started up. Was his number 25? Well, bless his little heart. Bring him anyhow. God bless his little heart. Oh, isn't that lovely, a little lad? All right. Let me have the—this man first.
Howdy do, sir. No, I just want to speak to this man just a moment. Sir, I want you to come this way and believe with all your heart. I want to ask you a question, sincerely. We are strangers. I do not know you, and I don't know whether you've ever seen me before or not. I'm just talking now before this anointing comes. Therefore, if there's anything known about you, it'll have to come supernaturally, won't it, sir? That.... You....
Just so this audience of around, nearly three thousand people I guess, wants.... Just so that.... I'm trying to get before the audience, not myself, dear brother; I'm trying to get the Lord Jesus before the people. And He sent this Angel to vindicate that I am His servant. And He sent me to prophesy in His name, and to say things. And He gave these signs of vindication. You believe that, do you, sir? With all your heart....
31
I feel now just your welcome spirit, that you are a believer. Now, I want you to come just a little closer to me. I am not trying to read your mind, sir, at all. You don't believe that, do you? No, because that would just be something that you had on your mind. I pray that God will go back and do something that's not even on your mind so you'll know. You see?
Now, the.... There's something wrong with you, no doubt, or you wouldn't have gotten that prayer card. And then you've come up here to be prayed for. And you've confessed your faith by believing, that He will heal you. Now, what I'm trying to do now, is just speak to you to contact your human spirit. That'll br.... Your faith.... You see? Your faith operates this gift. See? Your faith brings it down on me. And then, when It does, It starts....
32
See, Jesus could do nothing except the people believed Him. Is that right? You ha.... You ha.... See, you believe in God; you believe in the Son, believe in the Holy Ghost; that's the Trinity. We believe in that. See? But then, in order for this to operate, you must believe me, not as Them, but They sent me here for this. You understand? Yes, sir. You understand.
My dear brother, I.... You can tell now that something's taking place, can't you? I feel it. Yes, sir.
Now, you have.... You've been a sufferer of TB. Isn't that right? Yes, sir. Yes, sir. You.... Say, you've got.... You've got a desire of so.... Yeah, you're a minister, aren't you? Isn't that right? Yes, I.... And aren't you planning a trip on going somewhere, maybe a.... Isn't that right? Across the sea? You're going to missionary, aren't you? God bless you. I see that that's so close there. My brother, go in peace. The Lord Jesus has made you well. Go, God bless you.
33
Let us say, “Praise the Lord.” Do you believe Him now with all your heart? Now, the man's healed. I seen him getting ready, making himself ready. And I seen trees a blowing in another nation. And I couldn't help from saying it; It just spoke right out to me.
Now, now, you all are aware there's a supernatural Being here. Is that right? It's the power of the Lord Jesus Christ. These things that I do shall you also. Is that the same way that....
How about that man getting himself ready going somewhere, and something's going to take place, and so forth. I don't remember it just what it was. But anyhow, what I told him, isn't that just like when Philip come to see the Master? Well, then the Master's Spirit....
He said, “A little while and the world will see Me no more, (Now, the world would come in here; they'd say, 'Mental telepathy.') but yet, you shall see Me, for I'll be with you, even in you to the end of the age.” Amen. Now, you believe, don't you, with all your heart.
34
All right. Is that enough to prove it to you, that the Lord Jesus.... What? All right, we'll start the prayer line in a few.... If you wish to, or you want to call some more out of the audience. I don't like to get too far under this....
What? Oh, excuse me. All right, honey. Come here. I'm sorry, honey. I'm awfully sorry. What a fine little lad. Now, just a moment.
Now, little lad, I want you to come here just so you just lean up against me, like this. I want you to put your arm around me. I think you're a fine little boy. Now, so that the people can hear you, I will just look this other way, so that I'll not be looking at your eyes (You see?) so it's just.... I'd say for the people to look at me, but I want you to hold on to me.
35
Now, in here.... Now, a long time ago, there was a wonderful Person here on earth, and His name was Jesus of Nazareth. And He was the Son of God. Do you believe that? You, you do. And He.... And He came down on the earth, and one day the disciples were.... They were by Him. They put the people away, because the people were thronging upon Him. And they'd touch Him, and virtue would go out, and He'd get weak and so forth. And so they had to keep the people away from Him.
But some little boys, about like you, come up one day, and little girls. And He.... They, the disciples started to put them back. He said, “Suffer little children to come to Me. Forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of God.”
36
Now, if Jesus was here tonight, He'd take a hold of you, and you'd set on His lap, or something. Wouldn't you like to do that? Oh, I would too. My, I would. Now, if....
Now, you believe that Jesus of Nazareth sent Brother Branham down here to do His work? You believe that.
Bless his heart. That little faith pulls it right down. There it is. This little lad is suffering from a nervous trouble. Isn't that right, sonny boy? That's right. You can't sleep at nights, can you, honey? Honey boy, you've had a great desire in your heart. You wanted to be a minister, isn't that right? That's right. God bless you, my sonny boy.
Our heavenly Father, I bless this little boy in Your name, and may he be healed. And may he go home tonight and sleep just as sound. May the nervousness all leave the little lad. And may You give him the desire of his heart, to become Your servant. And may he grow in strength and favor before God and man. May he make a great minister of the Gospel, Father, if You tarry that long. I bless him now for his healing, in the name of Jesus Christ, the Son of God in whom he loves. Amen.
My little boy, the nervousness is going from you. You're going to be a normal well little boy. God bless you, honey boy. God bless you, honey boy.

Oh, my. Isn't Jesus wonderful? He certainly is wonderful.
Now, that you want to call some other card, or.... All right. There's.... Oh my, isn't that wonderful. Eighty-eight and about six there, talking to each other. Both of them healed by seeing a vision of the Lord.
Mother, what was said to the little boy, it said.... Praise the Lord. Is that the truth? Was that the truth, whatever it was? Father, is that right? If it is, raise your hand so the people can see it. That's truth, for the parent says it's true. Hasn't the little boy longed to be a minister, talked about it? I could hear him as he said, “I want to be a preacher.” You see? I heard his little voice out. And I know it's true when I seen the vision of him, seen his nervousness, restless at night, turning, get up, and so forth. Isn't that right? Makes him weak in his kidneys and everything. That.... Isn't that right? Now, he's going to get all right. He will be over that, and he's going to be all right. Now, don't fear.
38
The Lord Who knows what is, knows what was, and knows what will be. Is that right? And by this same voice speaking what was, that you know; what is now, which you know is present tense, He knows what will be. Have faith in God and believe Him. How many believe Him now with all your heart?
There couldn't be a solitary person come to this platform without being told. I don't say they'd be healed, but could be told just.... And longer you talk, more it is.
All right, call your prayer line together. Get everybody together now, and we'll.... All from prayer line number 1 plumb on up to 50, while we all stand and sing, “Only believe, All things are possible, Only believe.” Everyone now, while the rest of you line up, get yourselves over here in order. Prayer card Y 1 to Y 50.
All right. Let's sing now. Give us a chord, if you will, brother.
Only believe, only believe,
All things are possible, only believe;
Only believe, only believe,
All things are possible, only believe.
39
Our heavenly Father, oh, we didn't mean to take so much of Your people's time. Tomorrow they have to work. But O Father, just looks like I can't get away from that. It just seems to grip and pull at me. I look up the clock and see it's getting along time that we should being dismissed. Lord, there's.... These people here's been given a prayer card. They are supposed to be prayed for. And we pray, God, that You'll bless them. And not only them, but everyone's in the building. May great signs and wonders be done tonight. Grant it, Father, in the name of Thy Son Jesus. Amen.
Y 1 to 50. Prayer card Y 1 to 50, and be it lined up. And now, the rest of you may be seated if you will.

Now, to the strangers in our gates, we love you, and we want you to be just as reverent, everyone, as you can for a few moments. There's people down there who's got cancer and all kinds of diseases. Now, I'm going to ask prayer for them and lay hands on them while you join with me in prayer. Will you do it out there in the audience? Will you promise?
Just think, when you used to go at the picture show, and it was nine-thirty, you never noticed that, did you? You'd stay and see the other show. When you went to the dance, you danced all night. What about now? [Blank spot on tape.] ... the Lord's work.
41
Now, all you cripples move up ... or they'll get you up here, as I see they're getting them up, so that we can have prayer for them.
Last night, I come down among them, and several of them got up and walked. And I think there isn't but about one left in the building tonight, one lady that I seen. And she's here somewhere. I seen her awhile ago, that was here last night. One lady out of the whole group of la—yesterday that wasn't healed as far as I know.
Some of them setting there crippled up with arthritis and everything, rose right up. One woman on a stretcher, bound tight, rose right up and walked out of the building, normally. How marvelous God is. Isn't He wonderful? Now, He will do the same thing tonight. Now, everyone be reverent, and we'll pray now. And you.... [Blank spot on tape.]
42
Now, we're going to try.... Now, Brother Hall, I'm going to make a promise to this people here. How many of you will do this: if you'll be real reverent, be seated and be reverent, and let Brother Hall watch the clock for the next five minutes. And after five minutes passes, then let ... till I can kind of get away from this heavy anointing, because it'll going to calling the disease of the people, I'm afraid. And if it does, then we'll just start the people, just let them come right on through the line and pray for them, lay hands on them, believe they'll get well.
Do you believe it'll happen if we come through the line? You out there in the line, do you believe it?
43
And now, remember, tomorrow night, the Lord willing, we want at least a hundred people prayed for tomorrow night. Would you like that? Say “Amen.” A hundred people.... Let's come real early and get the people right through and pray for them.
All right. Now, I know the anointing's still burning down. Brother Hall, I want to ask you a question I've never asked before. Can you tell when that's near like that, when that anointing near? You stand here? You can tell. I just wondered after It being there. I noticed the patients coming; I always notice that.
I remember one night, Brother Hall was suffering himself. And I was trying to show something, and I found Brother Hall with a disease on his ... of his liver. And he said that there'd been something wrong with him. He just told me that it was all sluggish and everything. He had abscesses on his liver. It's all right now. [Brother hall says, “I'm twenty-nine now.”]
44
All right. Come ahead, brother. All right, sir. You come here now.
And get your ... the people together. Now, everyone in prayer. And right after about five or eight minutes from now, I want Brother Hall just to get the line started so you'll sh—bring the people right on through, because we won't get them prayed for. And we're.... And you pray for us out there, will you do it now? All of you is going to be in silent prayer as they come through.
Now, come here, brother. Do you believe with all your heart? Believe that God is here? Now, I want you to look this way just quickly while I.... [Blank spot on tape.]
45
Lady right away. Now, sister, come quickly. I see you have something wrong with your eyes too, don't you? 'Course, that'd be one thing you'd want to be prayed for. Isn't that right? But besides that, you have a tumor. Is that right? Go, God bless you and be made well.
Let's say, “Praise the Lord,” everybody. Just this, everybody just praise the Lord. Now, be happy, and....
All right. Bring your.... Are you the lady that's to be prayed for? What do you think about this, sister dear? Do you believe it is the Spirit that was on Jesus Christ? Now, we're strangers aren't we. You just come up here and that's.... You just come up. Now, if there's.... You know that I'd have to have some way of knowing there's something wrong with you. Is that right? If I will tell you, will you accept your healing in Jesus Christ? Is arthritis. Is that right? Go off the platform [unclear words].
Let's say, “Praise the Lord,” everybody.
46
Come here. Bring the lady. Howdy do, sister. You're wearing glasses I see. You're very thin; you look delicate. And you'd like to be well. It looks like.... Of course, one thing would be your eyes are bad. We know that. Anyone can see that. But I want to see if there's something else, if the Holy Spirit will reveal to me. Yes, it's in your blood; you're anemia. Is that right? Go off the platform and get well in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Say, “Praise the Lord,” everybody.
All right, come ahead, sister. Come here. Believe with all your heart. Do you believe? Do you believe that Jesus Christ sent me? Oh, isn't He wonderful? I see you wear glasses too. 'Course, that's caused from astigmatism in your eyes. It's been there for, oh, long, long, long time. Isn't that right? When you was a child.... Now, I want you to watch something. But besides that, you're suffering with heart trouble. Is that right? Go, get well in the name of the Lord Jesus. Praise the Lord.
47
All right, sister, you had heart tro... [Blank spot on tape.] there, but it's done gone from you. So you can go on off the platform and be made well with all.... Let us say, “Praise be....”
Say, “Praise the Lord.” If I could just get the people....
All right, come now. Believe with all your heart. You believe, honey? You want to be well? Them eyes is bad too, aren't they, sweetheart? In the name of the Lord Jesus, I bless thee, honey, that this will leave thee and never bother thee no more. Amen. God bless you, honey. Take them off. Amen.
Let's say, “Praise the Lord.” Oh, how marvelous, how marvelous!
48
All right, come forward, sister. Do you believe with all your heart? We're strangers, aren't we? You just come in here. There's something wrong with you. Is that right? I tell you what it is, sister. It's just the time of your life. You're nervous. Isn't that right? Real, real nervous. You're bothered with that. It's just a premature menopause a working on you. There's really not.... You think there's lots wrong with you, but it's not. It's.... That's the main thing. You believe me as God's prophet? In the name of Jesus Christ, I bless you, my sister. Go off of here be happy, and don't worry no more about it.
Let's say, “Praise the Lord,” everybody.
49
All right. Come, sister. Amen. Howdy do, sister. All right. You're awfully nervous, aren't you? And you're suffering with sugar diabetes. Go off of the platform and get well in the name of our Lord Jesus.
Let us say, “Praise the Lord,” everybody.
All right. Come here, sister. Do you believe with all your heart? Do you believe Jesus Christ is here to make you well? Would you accept it if I told you.... If God can reveal to me what's wrong with you besides your eyes? I don't mention that, because you're wearing glasses, and you'd know that I'd know that. But I tell you, sister, weaving between you and I are something moving like a heavy vibration, dark, death like, settling around over you. It's a cancer. Isn't that right? Go off the platform. Accept your healing. You'll get well in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Let's say, “Praise the Lord,” everybody.
50
All right. [Unclear words]. All right, after this lady then, we'll start the line.
Come here, sister. I want you to look this way and believe with all your heart. Do you believe with all your heart? Don't cry, mother. The presence of the Lord Jesus Christ is here. I know it's here. My own lips is so thick and feel so anointed. There's Something here. And if I can just get quiet just for a moment till the vision moves without touching you. I could take you by the hand. In a moment He would speak. But I mean just by a vision.
Here, lay your hand on mine. Look this a way. You're suffering with stomach trouble. Isn't that right? Go home and eat what you want to. Jesus Christ will make you well.
Let's say, “Praise the Lord,” everyone.
[Brother Hall makes an announcement.]
51
Now, sister, being that you set there suffering with TB, you can get up and go on home and get well. God bless you, sister. Amen.
All right, let the people there.... Open up the line let them [unclear words]. [Brother Hall says, “Now, just take him by the hand. I'm going to hold him up.”]

Do you believe He's here to heal you? I want to ask you something. How many sick people's here, raise up your hand? Now, you people that's well, you that's well, lay your hands over on that sick person, will you? You're God's child, just the same as any of the rest of us. Lay your hand on one another. Ministers down there, some of you ministers, come here and lay hands on these people along here. Let's bow our heads, everywhere.
Dear heavenly Father, so much, so many things. I'm getting weak, Lord. You know that. And I pray that You'll be merciful to this audience tonight. May they be healed, dear Father. May the power of sickness, the devil, Satan, may they turn this people loose tonight. May every person here be healed in the name of Jesus Christ.
Now, you can....
