<TITLE>09. Par 16-19</TITLE>L-16 Said, "There's not a chance for the boy to live." God...?... still and do some work. All right.
Now. So I talked to him a little while, and I said, "Son, would you become a Christian?"
He said, "I want to, Brother Branham." He said, "I--I'm afraid God won't receive me: I've been so sinful."
I said, "Oh, yes, He will. Oh, yes, sir. He will receive you."
He said, "You think He would take me, and me with this disease like this? What have I got?"
I said, "It's not your body you're presenting to Him; it's your soul, my boy." See?
And he said, "Well, I--I come. I come." And I read to him John 14. And I knelt down and prayed. While I was praying, the boy raised up his hands and sobbed and cried, said, "Dear God," right out while I was praying. Said, "Have mercy on my soul. Please don't let me die a sinner. Lord, with all my heart, I believe the Word is right. And I'm coming, I'm coming to accept You as my Saviour." The boy had a wonderful conversion.
I got up and patted him on the head, and blessed him. I said, "Now, Delbert, let's talk about Divine healing."
He said, "Well, Brother Branham," said, "I... It's all right now, whether I would get well or not, now." He said, "Everything's all right now." Said, "Something happened in here now; I'm not afraid to die now."

L-17 I said, "Well, that's the main thing, Delbert." I said, "Now, that's the real thing. Now, let's speak of the Lord, Who could stoop low enough to get your sinful soul, He will stoop just as low to take your diseased body, right down in the bed of adultery, pull you right out of here and make a gentlemen out of you, and heal you."
He said, "You think He would, Billy?" He said, "If He will, I will serve Him the rest of my days. What I have, whether I get well, or not, I will serve Him the rest of my days." He wasn't talking too much on healing.
I knelt down and prayed for him for him to get well, laid hands on him, went on up. I called up the doctor, and the nurse called me, and told me to get a hold of the doctor, the doctor wanted to see me, that sent me out there, had prayer with him, 'cause...?... I said, "Doc, I want you to go out... I'm--I'm definitely led, you should give him another shot."

L-18 I said, "Well..."
He said, "I done give him more than... He said, "It--it isn't going to take." And said, "I've tried it."
I said, "As a--as a friend, as your buddy, will you--will you do one favor for me?"
He said, "Sure, Bill, what is it?"
I said, "Go, give him another shot. Will you do it?"
He said, "Yes, upon the strength and the..."
I said, "It won't hurt him?"
"No, it won't hurt him."
I said, "Go, give it to him."
He went there and give the boy a shot, that one took. What was the matter? What taken place? Why wouldn't the others take? Prayer changed things. The boy is well and sound today. See what I mean? It's prayer that changes things. Get your head set level. Look towards Jesus Christ. Remember, He's the Author and Finisher of your faith. Have faith in Him; don't doubt. Believe that everything that He said is the truth. And God will heal you, both soul and body.

L-19 There's been one thing that's been my meeting that I've slacked on, one thing that I'm praying about. I have not revealed it to the people yet; I didn't say it for two or three days; I was impressed the other day, coming up on the road. Something keeps pressing to me. I think I almost make myself a mystic by--to the people, by the power of a revelation of God through the gift. And I believe, if I could actually just let up a little and pray for more people, it's prayer that changes things.
I've noticed so many carnal impersonations. Go out and saying, "Well, I've got this, and I've got that. And glory to God, it's here." Just say, "It's in your finger," and watch somebody else get it in their finger. And there, then they come out and see these things; they muddle the whole thing together, and say, "There you are. That's the holiness church for you; that's the Full Gospel people. You see?"
