<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>50-0816, Looking To The Unseen, Tent Meeting, Cleveland, OH, 54 min
L-1 Good evening audience. Very happy to be here again tonight to speak to you concerning our Lord Jesus, and His grace to save and to heal the needy. I'm sure you do not need any more to be said but what has already been said of God--His greatness.
I was just a few moments there to enjoy the talk that Brother Baxter was just giving.

L-2 And I wish to read just a little of the Word first, found in II Kings, the 6th chapter begin... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... the 13th verse... I may begin at the 12th verse, it's--it's concerning a--a great mighty man of God that was in--in one day, the days gone by, Elisha. And listen closely now.
And one of his servants said... my lo--my lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speaketh in thy bedchambers.
The king of Israel, they had war. And the--the other king, he wondered how that they were getting ahold of all of this. And one of his servant stepped up; he said, "Well, there must be some kind of a spy among us."
And the other servant said, "No, but Elisha knows more in his bedchamber from God. He's the one who knows these things and is telling the king of Israel." We need some more Elishas today.
Then he said, Go and find where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.
Therefore sent he thither horsemen, chariots... great host: and they came by night, and compassed the city about.
And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both of horsemen and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?
And he answered, Fear not:... (Oh, I love that. No matter how dark it looks, don't be weary, fear not.)... for there--they that be with us are more then they that be with them.
And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and behold, the mountains were full of horses and chariots of fire around about Elisha.

L-3 May God bless His Word. Now, we're thinking of a day that has gone, where God moved in a manner to reveal Himself to men, to make His ways known unto men through His servants, His prophets.
And this is the time that when there were war--the state of war existing between two nations. And the other nation could not understand why that the Israelites knew all their plans and were ready to upset it any time. So they called in their men and found out--to find out if there wasn't a spy among them who was telling their secrets and their tasks. And one of them said, "It isn't a spy among us; it's Elisha--Elijah over in Israel. He can set in his bedroom and know all the future plans; we know. And he tells the King of Israel about this."

L-4 You know, the best armor that America has in this present crisis is God fearing, praying people. That's the best. It's worth more then all the bombs and tanks that we could produce. God will always fight for His people. Let us...
If this whole nation with one accord would throw themselves to God in sackcloth and ashes of repentance, and come back to the old fashion pathways that our forefathers trod, there couldn't be a bit of harm come to us. I believe it'd be worth more then all the ammunition plants and things that we could make (That's right.), and all the bombs that we could have. There's nothing as great as prayer. God holds all the future in His hands.
Someone asked me not long ago, said, "Brother Branham, what do you think about the future?"
I said, "I do not know what the future holds, but I know Who holds the future." So that's the thing, if I can keep acquainted with Him.
