<TITLE>12. Par 41-44</TITLE>L-41 And friends, I started to push towards these men. There's no harm in saying this. When I first started, my brother gave me a suit to go out in, he'd had a wreck it, and tore it in several places. And my wife and I went down to the ten cent store and got some of them patches you iron on with an iron, you know. And I don't know what they are. And I sewed the pocket up, where it had tore down here on the side, down along the side. Took a needle... And I'm not very much of a seamstress. So I sewed it up.
And when I would go and meet ministers or anything, I was ashamed of that ragged coat. So I'd hold it sideways and put my right hand out, like this, and shake hands with my left hand, and say, "Well, I... Excuse my left hand, but it's closer to my heart." See? Just like that, to say that, instead of letting them see that old ragged coat.

L-42 But, brother, while I was trying to get to that men, God bless their gallant hearts, they were pushing through there, trying to get their little babies, trying to touch that old ragged coat, when I passing by. They're just throwing down their crutches, and people screaming and hollering, just so that they're try to touch the old coat.
Brother, it wasn't the old coat that done the healing; it was their faith in Jesus Christ that done the healing.
And that same Christ, that was in Jonesboro that night, is here in Cleveland tonight to perform any miracle, to do anything that faith will rise to require it to be done. Do you believe that?

L-43 Let us bow our heads. Heavenly Father, I'm thinking of that glorious, marvelous night, that poor colored girl; thinking of a few weeks later from then, stopping there in the airplane hanger, someone walking up and saying, "Remember me, Brother Branham?" O God, someday when it's all over and we've gathered to the other side, what a marvelous time it'll be to set down with those redeemed.
Here we are tonight, Lord, way across the country here in Cleveland, Ohio, been across the blue waters to the other lands down to the needy. We're still struggling on, not weary in the way. O God, believing You for all things. Seeing You here to heal the sick and the afflicted, bringing this morning glorious powers, manifesting Yourself in great healings, interpreting the hearts of the people, telling their diseases, the secret sins and thoughts of their mind, healing the paralyzed, the lame, the deaf, the dumb.
O Christ of God, this great night, it'll be history after while, if Thou tarry. Help us now to move in with real faith. Grant it, Lord. May the people repent of all that's done that's wrong. Accept us now in the Beloved, for we ask it in His Name. Amen.

L-44 [A brother calls the prayer line--Ed.]
Oh, isn't He wonderful, glorious? While the prayer line's being formed, believe now with all of your heart. We'll wait first till we get some out.
You don't have to have a prayer card. That doesn't have a thing to do with it. That prayer card is merely to get people lined up. They give out a hundred each day. And when they do, I think it's twe--fifty at morning and fifty in the afternoon. They bring the prayer cards up, and shuffle them out, hand them to each person and they write down their diseases. And you bring up... That's merely to keep you in line. That doesn't have one thing to do... God bless this couple coming here.
All right. He's here to perform any miracle, do anything that you believe that He will do. Just have faith in Him; believe Him.
