<TITLE>17. Par 61-64</TITLE>L-61 [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]...?... then at last after bank. There was a stormy rough Jordan in the month of April, coming down out of the hills of Judaea to a flood. But just beyond there laid the promised land. That's where you sick people are standing tonight. Faith... Joshua looked all around and seen the Israelites numbered in the millions. There was no architect, bridge builders in them days among them, no material to build with. Joshua looked around.
But in the midst of them there was a go-between, something that would make the way, the ark of the covenant. Joshua put the ark first with the priests and started towards Jordan, to give away when they touched Jordan, and they passed over to the promised land. Why? They had the promise.

L-62 Tonight, friends, we have wearies and trials, and the last river we come to is going to be Jordan. Is that right? I think someday our little home there, don't get to stay in it much. My wife's almost a stranger to me. My baby one time when I was coming in, didn't even know me, was scared of me. I'd changed. I lost my hair and everything else, and my shoulders was stooped. Wasn't her daddy. I thought, "O God, but I'm on the battlefield."
Some of these days, I'm--these mornings, I'm coming down to where she's a floating muddy. That's right. I'm going to raise both hands and scream to the top of my voice, "Give away, Jordan. I'm going to cross over." Amen. And we're going over, for we have the promise: "In My Father's house is many mansions. If it wasn't so, I would've told you. I'm going to prepare a place for you, and come again to receive you unto Myself." Some of these mornings, we're going to cross over, aren't we?

L-63 Now, while you're here tonight, and in need, let's cross over now into the promises of God's promise of your healing. Is there a promise? "Whatsoever things you desire, when you pray, believe you receive them, and ye shall have them." Is that right? Saint Mark 11:24. Jesus Christ speaking then. His Words cannot fail.
Someone said, "Brother Branham, aren't you afraid that you'll make a mistake sometime?"
No, no. He promised me. I believe Him. I can make a mistake, but He can't. His Words can't fail.
Let's pray again. Now, you softly play this, "Abide With Me," will you, sister? Just chord us a little note.

L-64 Now, friends, just look this way. God is not dead. The Spirit of the Lord that I've been speaking of...?... tomorrow night we speak on what it is. Right here on my right side, not on the... That is true. I can feel It coming near to me. I'm not a hypocrite. God's Spirit's always near. But you can just... I'll... Someday, God will maybe let you know what I mean...?... begins to settle down. This flesh begins to feel strange. With His Spirit around, it's just milky like, just kind of a strange feeling, like a real reverence, awe.
Let's just be reverent, every one. Let your spirit loose. Now, believe with all your hearts; you'll feel the effect. Friends, God knows that I'm telling the truth. He's here.
Now, Father, will You just bless us tonight. They're forming this prayer line here, Lord. Many of those who's coming that's needy, will You bless them tonight with Your Presence, for we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.
