<TITLE>14. Par 54-57</TITLE>L-54 That's--that's... Is that the patient? Is that the--the patient, son? All right, you come right up, lady.
Now, every one be real reverent, just as reverent as you can. You don't have to bow your heads to pray. You... I just want you to... When I ask you to bow your heads... Sometimes a spirit gets real contrary, and they just don't want to come at all. And that's the time you have to have an authority. Do you believe in that? See?
Now, there's sometimes if a person's faith will come up, but maybe they don't have enough faith and it--it's just waving there, and there's a demon trying to hold a, maybe a little unbelief there, just kindly skeptical, sometimes you have to--to command it out. See? And if you do that, then they're angry. That's when they go from one to another. And when they come out... You know Jesus said to them demons, "Come out."
And they said, "Suffer us to go into them swine."
See, a devil is helpless if he isn't in a body somewhere. See? He's just a spirit in the world until he's in a body, and then he--he can torment us.

L-55 Now, our sister coming here, the lady, has come forward to be healed. Now, every one be just reverent, and just... Here's what I want you to do when I say, "Be reverent." Just--just set and say, "I believe that with all my heart." Say, "Lord, I--I believe that You're there at the platform, and You're going to help our Brother Branham right now. And he's going to know all about that woman, and he's going to be able to pray a prayer that'll heal the poor thing." That's what I mean being reverent.
Just think. What if that was your sister, your wife, your mother, or someone? See, see? You'd--You'd want them healed, wouldn't you? And you do to others as you'd want... to do to you (You see?), if you were up here.

L-56 Now, sister dear, you just come near. And I just want to talk to you just a moment. And what I do that for to speak to the person is merely to contact their spirit. You see? You realize that we're dealing with spiritual beings. Isn't that right? It's a--it's a spiritual being. See? You and I are human flesh. It was born in this world. And now, you're... Inside of you is a spirit. And inside of me is a spirit. Well now, if the spirit of sickness or something has come upon you... And then... Now, I don't know what that is. I know that you're a lady standing there, and--and I don't know nothing about the inside part.
Now, the only thing that I know is when this Spirit of God comes down here and He'll speak through here to that what's in you. You see? Now, a person... If I can contact your human spirit (You see?), to--to myself that gives us a--gets you in the--the place--contact. That's right.

L-57 Like Jesus, He talked to the woman awhile. He said, "Go bring Me a drink."
She said, "Why, it's not customary for you Jews to ask us Samaritans."
He said, "But if you knew Who you were talking to (See?), you would ask Me. (See?) And I'd give you drink that (See?) that you don't come here to drink." Now, that's the same thing this is. See? Now, I...
You--you're conscious that there's something going on now, don't you? You know that--that... You--you know there's something going on, a strange feeling in your inner being. Is that right? Now, what it is, it's that gift a-moving. You see? It's not my gift: God's gift. See? His gift, I'm not it. I'm just...
If you see the picture back there, you can see my picture too, but I'm not It; It's a separate Person. But I'm just a--like the brass serpent. You see what I mean? See? Just... You're just looking this way, and I'm just... See? Now, there, that's it. That's the idea.
