<TITLE>01. Par 1-3</TITLE>50-0820E, Believe Ye That I Am Able To Do This?, Tent Meeting, Cleveland, OH, 89 min
L-1 Thank you, Brother Lindsay. Good afternoon, or evening, rather. We were kinda all bundled up here tonight, and I was kinda thrilled. I was talking about peppermint candy. How many was at the e--evening service--the afternoon service? I was speaking about peppermint candy. And bless their heart, I found little children standing out there, and give me two big sticks of peppermint candy. That's very fine.
And now, honey, I hope you're listening; I'll just lick it right here tonight. These are all for me. That's all right. That's very fine. I'm blessed of the Lord. I still love peppermint candy anyhow. Very fine.
Can I leave this out, Brother Gordon? If you...?... Oh, yes. That's right. Okay, that's fine. Can you hear all right? All right, just fine.
Now, this is what I always said was a spare tire. Someone asked me, said, "You a preacher, Brother Branham?"
I said, "No, I'm a spare tire." That's when the rest of them's flat. Then we can roll over it. That's it. Thanks.

L-2 Well, we we're supposed to be here a hour...?... And I'm sure that all of you are happy to be here tonight. Drawing near this is the second Sunday night of our tent--service in the tent. And we're going along now a two nights longer, I think, until Thursday night, God willing. And we're expecting God to bless us in something.
Tomorrow night, I have announced that I'm... have something a little different, perhaps, that I could... going to try something different, in a way that I could pray for more sick people each night. Maybe try to get a hundred if possible, each night. That is, if I have--try explain it to you more tomorrow, and I could pray for each individual. Now I believe the faith of the people is high enough now until I can do that, I believe, by the help of the Almighty. God grant it to us.
I wish to read just a little portion of the Word. And just as quickly as possible, you'll have to... Too many...?... Now, in Saint Matthew the 9th chapter, at the 27th verse, we begin to read an instance here, that taken place in the days of our Lord.

L-3 Now, everyone can hear, all around all right? Can you? Way back in the back row, can you hear? All around. That's very fine.
I'm not a... pulled a lot of...?... anyhow. And I...?... little things in front of you. It's not as strong as the other big night, because...?... Listen closely.
And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou son of David, have mercy on us.
And when he was come into the house, the blind men came unto him; and Jesus said unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. (I like that, don't you?)
Believe ye that I am able to do this? And they said unto him, Yea, Lord.
Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your  faith, be it unto you. (Now, what if they were just did not believe, they would've never been healed.)
And their eyes were opened; and Jesus strictly charged them, saying, See that no man know it. (So they did believe, didn't they?)
But when they were departed, they spread abroad his fame in all of that country.
And as he went out, behold, they brought unto him a dumb man possessed with a devil. (Now, if you'll notice, this...)
[A brother interrupts--Ed.] All right. That's a whole lot better, isn't it? Thank you. That's very fine. Brings us back home again, doesn't it? That's right. That's just fine.
Now, as I was reading,
And they brought unto him a dumb man possessed with a  devil.
And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitude marveled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.
But the Pharisees said, He casts out devils through the prince of the devils.
And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and disease among the people.
