<TITLE>03. Par 7-10</TITLE>L-7 How many's read it in the book? Oh, many of you have my book, the account of it. And it's... In those books I wish we had some more, but we haven't, you just send in at the office, and we will have ten thousand again right away.
And Brother Osborn, his wife was setting there that night. So Brother Osborn, he said, he fastened himself up in a room and nailed the door. He said, "Lord, if You're still God like that, You can help me too," the little fellow.
And then a few weeks after that he drove by, he and his wife down to our home; he said, "Brother Branham, you think God would bless me if I'd pray for the sick?"
I said, "He'd bless anybody who will pray for the sick."
He said, "Well, here I go."
I said, "God be with you, brother."

L-8 And he's sure done a great work for our Lord. Very, humble, sweet brother, and I love him. And I understand that he's in the states again now. He's went overseas much with the--in the islands there and done a great work for our Lord. And if he's ever near, well, you--I--I tell you, he's a good brother; you just go hear him; he's all right. He's very sincere, and that's what it takes.
And I remember slipping into one of his meetings one time; he didn't even know I was there. He said, "Now, you people coming in prayer line," said, "I'm not Brother Branham," said, "don't ask me what's wrong with you; I don't know," he said, "But I know the Word said He will heal you." And he didn't even know I was there, and he never did know I was there. I just flew--just flew in, and set in the back of the building, went out that night. So he never knew I was there, but...
That's what I like, is sincerity (See?), sincerity. And to brothers that's here, God will bless every one of you in your churches. You don't have to have healing campaigns, but God will bless you in your church, if you'll pray for the sick, every one of you, sure.

L-9 Now, as far as just spiritual discernment like that; there's--there's nine spiritual gifts in the church that--that's just maybe on one tonight and one the other, but there's... I say this with reverence: gifts and callings are without repentance. This will... There'll be... There's a gift in the church of discernment; that's true. You see? But a prophetic gift is ordained before the foundation of the world to come forward. That'll never be until I die; it'll go from me to someone else. You see? But that... But now that doesn't take away the--the value, the Holy Spirit that's here to do anything that you want Him to do. That's right. And every brother in the.. Every person's got a right to pray for the sick that believes in praying for the sick. That's--that's true.
Now, if you'll notice in the Pentecostal realms, and in the realms of all religions, there's supposed to be in the body of Christ, nine spiritual gifts. Do you believe that? Now, that's... Now, if you'll notice, God in sundry times and divers places, and manners, spoke to the fathers by the prophets; in this last day by His Son, Christ Jesus.

L-10 Now, there's a Body; and in this Body we're baptized by the Holy Spirit into this Body and made partakers of God and of Eternal Life, through the gift of God, which is a free gift of God is given to "whosoever will, let him come." Now, that puts us in the Body. And when we're in the Body, in that Body is nine spiritual gifts operating. See? And it will come upon one.
Now here... I better leave this subject alone. Let's see, I never come here to teach; I--I come here to talk, to pray for the sick. It might be a little against your theological teaching. You see? But anyhow, God be with you, and help you, and bless you is my prayer. All right.
