<TITLE>21. Par 82-84</TITLE>L-82 Jesus, a woman touched His garment. Those people have faith who come here. And she touched His garment, and He said, "I perceive that virtue..." Well, what is virtue? Virtue is your strength. Is that right? Strength went from Him. Once I didn't know what it was. Someone was trying to tell me. I said, "I'm ashamed of myself getting weak."
He said, "Brother Branham, that's virtue."
Well, my education is poor. I didn't know what "virtue" meant. I thought it was something pertaining to Jesus, and I wouldn't say it. And then I looked it up, and it said, "Your strength." So I--I--I knew then that that's really what it was, truthfully. My strength just comes so depleted, that I can hardly stand up. And my lips, my mouth feels real strange, because It's not me; It's the Angel of the Lord speak...

L-83 Has anyone got that picture here near? Well, that picture of the Angel of the Lord... That they would just... Here's one right here. I would like for the audience who did never see it... Some of you with your picture, would you just hold it behind you so that ones behind you could see it. And it's... That is what's a doing the speaking now.
Could I have it, sonny boy. There it is. [A brother explains to audience.--Ed.]
I have nothing to do with this, friend. I'm a man like the rest of you are. Now, there it is. That's the One that--that the government... The best research in the United States has had this picture before it could be published out like this. And it's truth. There it is with the signed George J. Lacy behind it, from the--the best that there is in the research in--in America. Thank you. And give that back to the correct person.
Now, I just want to rest just a moment. And then we'll talk to our sister. And... (Yes, thank you, brother.) Now, this is not at all some... Because that I am weak in body, it is not. I'm strong in body. I won the bantam weight championship a few years ago in boxing. I can walk thirty-five miles any day over any kind of country, get up and do it the next day. It's just very weak. Passed a physical examination recently, a perfect examination at Mayo Brothers.
It's not that. But one of those visions will take more strength from me than ten hours of a sledge hammer. That's right.

L-84 Now, this lady here, she's just a prayer card. We'll call some more, if the Lord will permit us. (And you got the... Yes. Yes, sir.) Well sister dear, I'm happy that you got the prayer card. And I--I trust that--that something will be done that our Lord will glorify His Son, Christ Jesus, between us. That not only to you, but to the people out there in the audience, that they might see and be healed also.
Now, we are perfect strangers. I--I do not know you. And I--I don't think you know me. No, you might've heard of me. Now, what I'm wanting to do is just to contact your spirit. And there's so many people out in there pulling. I don't think they hear us. I--I'm... I don't think they do, because there's some interference in the... They may be now. See? Now, I'm not sure. I can't say whether they do or not.
