<TITLE>02. Par 5-7</TITLE>L-5 I remember a dear brother, belonged to the same church that I belonged to. He said, "Brother Branham, the Bible said that whosoever believeth that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, is borned of the Spirit of God."
And I said, "And it's also written: that no man can say that Jesus is the Christ, only by the Holy Ghost." See? It's all... See?
He said, "Well, if you believe it..."
I said, "You're taking what somebody else said. You've got to have a witness of that (See?), know yourself."
You're saying what mother said, what father said, what the minister said. But when He asked Peter, "Who do you say I am."
He said, "Thou art Christ, the Son of--of--of God."
He said, "Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jonas, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father which is in heaven. And upon this rock I'll build My church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." Hold fast to the Rock. Do what's right. God will bless you.

L-6 Now, in Luke the 7th chapter, I wish to read tonight the first ten verses. Always try to read, because that I--I know that God will honor His Word.
 Now when he had ended all this--his saying in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
And a certain centurion's servant, who was very... was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die.
And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.
And when he came to Jesus, and besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:
For he loves our nation, and he has built us a synagogue.
Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house... sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou should enter under my roof: (Oh I love that.)
Wherefore, neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee:... (He sent the Jews, you see?)... but say the word, and my servant shall be healed. (I like...) [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
For I am also a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
When Jesus heard these sayings, he marveled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
And they... were sent returned to the house, and found his servant whole that had been sick.

L-7 Let's pray just a moment. Our heavenly Father, we have come again tonight, and...?... going into the second week now, quite a long series of services. We thankful that many cots that set here, are empty and gone tonight. Many who were setting bound, are up moving among those who are--are healthy today. Many who were sick, troubled, near death; are now healed. And we're thankful, Lord, for these things. Many that were sinners, bound down with shackles of sin, hundreds have been converted, brought into the recognition of God, fellowship of the Holy Spirit by the Blood of His Son, Christ Jesus. Now, we love You for that.
And now, Lord, tonight begins the eighth night. And I ask Thee tonight, Lord, as--tonight may be a real time of fellowship around the Word, fellowship around the Spirit of God, that all that are hearing me, with one great coming forth tonight, might receive faith to be healed. May this be a glorious meeting that'll long be remembered because of Your Presence.
