<TITLE>08. Par 22-24</TITLE>L-22 But now, dear friends, here's what it is. The vibrations move just the same as... That's God's Divine gift. Now, if He's going to take that away from me, I'd rather not come out of this pulpit this afternoon. 'Cause when I can't be a help to someone else, I don't want to stay here. And I--I... Then I went ahead and I started through the line, and the people begin to see after that God begin to perform more miracles than ever. Sometime they'd be prayed for and go back and set down with crutches, and would raise up. All at once the power of God would come upon them setting in their--in their seat, and throw down their crutches and run through the building real fast. And here'd be some on a cot, laying there just shaking with palsy. All at once while they was yet being prayed for, maybe a half hour before that, they'd stop shaking and raise up out of their cot. And some of them would go home, and--and maybe would be home maybe a few hours and woke up in the night, or something another like that. And here they'd come back to the services just a praising God, healed. You see? But that's what the people's got to do. They got to believe. You see? It's got to be a part like Mary told--or Jesus told Mary and Martha: "Take ye away the stone." See? You got something to do yourself. And you got to believe it. And God will work. Like here. This way I was taking all away from the people; I was the one doing it all. You see? But there you've got something to do yourself. And you go, and you believe, and you'll get healed.

L-23 And a little boy... It was so pathetic; the little fellow come by. And I might just tell this. It's hanging there in the auditorium now. A little boy with braces over his legs, and he come through with polio. He said, "Brother Branham," he said, "will you say the prayer for me?"
I said, "Yes."
And his mother was there, and--and I said... And she said, "If you'll just say the prayer for him, Brother Branham..."
And I said, "All right, sister." And I said, "Now, you're not..."
She said, "I do not desire a miracle." She said, "I just desire you to pray the prayer." And I had the prayer for the little boy just a moment and laid hands upon him. And brother, sister, two nights after that, the little boy was standing at the door, the entrance where I come in, his braces hanging on his back. He was standing there. See? The simplicity, the humbleness of the mother, to know...?... "I can believe God; I don't have to see any outstanding miracle. But I can believe God."

L-24 And then my ministry become more blessed than it ever was in the first place. You see? So... And there the little boy standing here and shake his little limb and just like that. In three night's time now, the little boy was back and had the braces hanging on his shoulders like, standing there. Held them up: big shoes, even had to have his shoes made to keeps his braces out here [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]...?... That's it. That's what a healing's to be, friends. Don't put so much rely [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] to man. Put your faith in God Who is almighty (You see?), 'cause it won't work anything. But His will heal you. And you get [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] the--the simplicity of a child believe that you're going to get well, and believe that this little prayer is what God asked me say for you, and you shall have what you've asked for, if you just believe it.
