<TITLE>05. Par 17-19</TITLE>L-17 And I... While standing there, I felt the Presence of this Angel come near. Looking out over the audience, I felt the lady that He was calling for. I seen she was in the prayer line. God knows, I didn't know what was wrong with the lady. And I said, "Come here, you." And she just stood and looked at me.
I said, "You, there."
And the lady said, "You mean this lady here?"
And I said, "Yes."
Said, "Why, she's deaf."
And I said, "Well, bring her here; this is the time she's to be healed." Now, see, that has to come from God. I said, "How long has she been deaf?"
Said, "Her sister's somewhere in the building." And there was just about as many people in the building as there is this center aisle, I guess. Was all they could get in, in the outside.
And the lady came up. And she said--her sister said, "She's been deaf all of her life, practically, since she was a child anyhow, around twelve years old."
Well, as soon as I took hold of her hand, there showed... When I was praying for them, I was using my right hand. Then on the left hand showed vibrations. And a few moments, the deaf spirit was cast from the lady, and she was looking, and I [Brother Branham snaps his finger.--Ed.] snapped my finger. She turned and looked. I said, "You hear me, don't you?" And her hearing was perfect. And she begin crying. Very fine dressed lady, she begin crying with her hands up in the air. And the people begin to run around. Then they got me out through the back way.

L-18 Because, you see, friends, I can only... I am just a human. I'm just a man. But it has to come from Almighty God. You see?
Did you notice the Master? He would go into a city, and maybe performed one miracle, and then leave the city. Did you notice that? Many times like that. Was there many lepers in the days of--of Elisha, but only one was sent to him; that was Naaman. Is that true? Hard tell how many more lepers came, but one was sent to him, and that was the one the Lord had intended.
And the only way that I can tell, is when I feel that something from the person that gives me the access to this supernatural power. That it's not mine; it's His power. Then there's nothing, no matter what it is... I say it in the Name of the Lord. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]

L-19 Now, who was He speaking to? Moses. Many of you in your Sunday school lessons has read of this great Bible character, Moses. I like him, because he was a--a shadow of the--of the coming of Christ. He was just a shadow of Christ's coming.
Notice. Now, when the people of Israel had gone down in Egypt, and had come into bondage for four hundred and twenty years, which He had already told Abraham that they would do... When the time of the promise drew nigh, then I want you to notice how... Notice it now. How that when the time of the promise drew nigh, the people began at that time, to see that there was something happened to them, some troubles. And God always cause troubles, mostly always, to bring the people together. Did you know that?
I believe there'll be a time when there won't be any more division amongst the people of God, such as "I belong to this church, and I belong to that church." I believe the persecution will run all the big ransomed Church of God together, and we'll be one in Christ Jesus. And then He will take her home. Now, we won't argue whether this doctrine is right or that.
