<TITLE>05. Par 17-20</TITLE>L-17 I was looking and seeing little--little groups here and there, that say, "Well, there's too many of them?" No there's not. Every one of them's having success some way. And every person can be healed, glory to God for it. That's right. Everyone, everyone... It's a good thing.
Now, a few years ago when I started, there was none of that going on. And the only thing that this has done, and this supernatural, has wakened ministers out of the sense-bound realm into a place to where they see God is present. They take His Word; start a healing campaign; God heals the sick.
You see what... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] That's just exactly. Search it through anywhere you want to, and see if there's anything any more Supernatural than that. That's right.
But wonderful what God is doing. He started... He started a universal revival of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Now, we're very thankful for that.

L-18 Now... Now, after the Word, and reliable men who's able, many, many times more able... There's ministers setting right here now, many of them that's a thousand times more qualified to speak that Word than I am. That's right. I don't know too much about it.
I don't know the Book; I know the Author right well. So I--I... But many of them are--are more qualified to speak the Word.
And I love Him, and He... we have just a personal contact. Well if I can't explain His Book, He comes down upon my ignorant and illiterate being, and manifests Hisself in another way, see, and it lets the people know that He's present. And He loves me and I love Him. Now, He's here tonight.

L-19 And now, Brother Hall said, "Brother Branham, I believe the people are... their faith is... They've seen so many..."
And I say this with--with a humble heart. O God, have mercy upon my soul. And many people has come by.
I seen the time when they just touch your clothes, or something. Now, that sounds like... If I'd speak that to unbelievers and critics, which I know is present, you'd--you'd think that--that... Now, you say, "I didn't know you were here." Oh, I did too. Certainly I know you're here.
And so you--you say, "Now, he's trying to get somebody to touch?" No, dear brother. You're mistaken there. Far be that from me. God knows that.
And I'm not here in California tonight because there's no other place to go. I'm not here trying to crowd in on someone else. I have a tabernacle at home where there's... If I'd start a meeting and announce it in the paper, there'd probably be three times the group that's setting here, standing there.

L-20 Here a few nights ago, I was there for one night, and they couldn't even get the people for city blocks around, right at my own home. Why would I be here? Because I feel that God wants me to be here. That's right. That's why I feel like that I'm here. And--and I'm not... And--and the Word that I have spoke, our heavenly Father has confirmed them to be true. So I...
There's nothing for me to worry about. If I die tonight, I... All right. It's okay. See? I don't want to die. I--I want to stay and live with my wife and family and children, and--and--and preach the Gospel to God's people until Jesus comes, if I can.
And I'm not trying to get someone to touch my clothes. There's nothing to me. That's right. But to that person that believes that I've told them the truth, it'd be something to that man. That's right. There was no more virtue in that coat than there was in the brass serpent. But if your faith looks that way, that's what you ought to do. Isn't that right?
