<TITLE>17. Par 46-47</TITLE>L-46 [A brother speaks before Brother Branham prays:
In the ministry, now will soon be thirty-four years. Of hundreds and hundreds of preachers of the different faiths, and of our own faith, the Pentecostal faith, I have never yet met a man manifesting the humility from day to day, that Brother Branham manifests. The weight of this is crushing the very life out of him. You don't realize what it means to fight the powers of darkness. All the powers of the enemy are turned loose against him. You, perhaps, only have a small portion against you. Remember, the reason that Jesus suffered so on the cross was not because of His own sins, but because the powers of hell were determined to crush him. So if you have anything special from God, the powers of darkness are going to do the best to crush you.
So this afternoon we want you to do your best now to believe God. You've heard what Brother Branham's had to say. How many of you now believe that God is here, that He will heal? Let's see your hands if you believe it. God bless you. That's all it takes is faith. So we want you to be humble and believe. Be back with you in just one second.
We have a case waiting at the door, brought in the man that was dying with cancer. Brother Branham is slipping out to pray for this one now, while we're forming a prayer line. Now, Brother Kidd, if you'll be now when, start the prayer line now. All of you listen attentively so that you'll know.
I don't know some of you ushers by name, but the usher that was over here a little while ago when I asked who had been here for three services and lived more than fifty miles away from here. If you let those folks come first... Those who live over fifty miles away and have been here three services or more...
Now please don't take advantage of these things, friends, when we ask a question like this. If you do, here's what may happen: the disease may stay on you or you'll get something else. Remember that you're not just dealing with us. We want to be just as fair with you as we can be. The reason I say this is because people take advantage. I'm going to give you a little illustration for a moment, 'cause Brother Branham will be up in just a minute.

You'll hinder us if you don't do it. Now, we--we want you to please as obedient and as nice as you can because it'll interfere and you'll cheat yourself and somebody else out of an opportunity. Please do not stand or get in the prayer line at all until we call for you. Now remember, we want, as Brother Branham prays, everybody keep your heads bowed. Be as humble as you can for the...?...--Ed.]

L-47 Shall we bow our heads...?... Our heavenly Father, [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] now, for this meeting. Dear Jesus [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... platform again today, after two weeks absence. And here stands lovely people who are wanting to be well. I have tried humbly to tell them, Father, that Your blessing was if they would just believe me, that their faith, Lord, is what makes them whole, their faith to believe it's there. And now, may each one that comes by, be touched by Thy Divine power. And I pray now, as I feel Your Angel standing so near, O God, may we bless each one and they be well. In the Name of Jesus Christ, I pray.
