<TITLE>16. Par 50-52</TITLE>L-50 And, yes, the man sets, sitting there in a chair. Everyone bow your head. Almighty God, Author of Life, Giver of every good gift, send Thy blessings upon this our brother. Satan done this evil to him, and wanting to cause him to be hurt. But Thou art here Lord, to make him every whit whole. Grant, Lord, that this spirit that binds him, may it leave him, may it come out. Give Thy servant faith over him.
Thou demon of deafness, that's deafening the ears of this man, I come in the challenge of faith in the Name of Jesus Christ; you can't hold this man any longer, come out of him in the Name of the Lord Jesus.
Can you hear me? Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? Now, brother, you're perfect. All right, raise your heads. The man's perfect. Do you hear me? [The man says, "Yes."--Ed.] Say, "Amen." [The man says, "Amen."--Ed.] I love Jesus. ["I love Jesus."] Glory to God. ["Glory to God."] Now, what, I say--whisper, then you say it out loud. Amen, amen. You say it out loud what I whisper to you. [The brother repeats everything Brother Branham says--Ed.] Amen. Praise the Lord. I love Jesus. Praise the Lord. Jesus loves me.
He does that...?...
Let's say, "Praise the Lord," like this, everybody give God praise.

L-51 The Bible said, "And all the people give glory to God." Marvelous, the man's in perfect condition, perfectly. Many times you notice in deaf people, it--it's a challenge. They can't hear, and you have to it with predominating faith, go in there. See, you enter into another line of--of... Well, there's no need of trying to explain it, because you--you--you can't do it. You see? It's in a flow, another world. Just believe; that's all. Have faith in God; God will grant it to you.
All right, come, lady. Everyone real reverent. Look here: what's causes deafness? See? There's several things can do it. But you know, if you go to the doctor, and he'd examine your ears, he'd say, "Now, here, the," for instance, he says, "the--the nerve in the eardrum is dead."
"Well, doctor, what killed the nerve?"
"I don't know. The only thing I know is what I can see. But I know the nerve itself is dead in the eardrum."
"Well, what killed the nerve?"
"I don't know."

L-52 Why didn't it kill it all over its body. Like if there a transparent band around my hand and you couldn't see it, my hand would turn black and blue and swell up. Well, the doctor might come and say, "Now, the circulation stopped in here."
"Well, what stopped it?"
If it's transparent and can't see it, it's, "I don't know." He can't feel it. That's the only thing that anyone can work on, is what you can see or--or feel, of some of the senses will declare. Well, now, here's what it is: It's the devil. Now, Jesus said it was. And you believe Him? Speaking in the Bible terms, He said, "When the deaf spirit come out of the man, he could hear." The deaf spirit... And if the doctor can't tell why that nerve is dead, why, it's a demon setting there, it's cut off the hearing of that ear.
Now, if I wanted my hand to receive life again, is to loose this transparent band here, circulation. If nature's not hindered, why, it'll function all right. Is that right? Well, that transparent band has got everything cut off and so nature can't function. Move the band, it won't... Might not be well right then, but it'll get well; give it a chance. And if the devil is gone out, the man can hear. That nerve becomes active again. See? And the Bible said it was a spirit. When the deaf and dumb spirit went out of the man, he could speak and hear. Is that right? All right.
