<TITLE>02. Par 4-7</TITLE>L-4 Now, do you--you get what I--I mean? I'm here to try to help everyone. Some of them says, "Pray for me. If you just pray for me, I will get well." See? Well, that's true, that's what God does, He heals the sick. "A prayer of faith shall save the sick."
But I was expecting, and I--I've asked for at least three times that many of reports today, that've had a change within twenty-four hours to the better, of the seventy some odd that... A little girl, minister's daughter that set over here last night, she was telling me she stays in the same motel, lives down in the... well, in... She lives in Kentucky, just across the river from my home, Brother Beeler's niece. And she said she counted each one that crossed the platform, and I believe she said seventy-eight that crossed the platform.
Last night was just a night of trial, so we could just try and see what the Holy Spirit would do. Just to see what would take place, to see how--how many would be healed just by praying, laying on the hands. Then I kindly made a little mistake in--in doing so. At I--I... Visions was moving just... Thank you, my brother.

L-5 Now, here's another report says, "No definitely number, but several has been reported." That's wonderful. How many in here was healed last night and knows you was? Raise your hands like that. In the--in the prayer line, was healed last night, just raise up your hands, like that, so I can see you around. Well, it looks like quite a number, that you really feel the difference that was--that was healed. That's wonderful. Well, if the... Thank you, every one. God bless you. You keep that testimony.

L-6 I tell you, friends. What I been moving, trying to do, is change the--the policy of... I'm afraid that people will misunderstand me, and think I'm a, just a, altogether a mystic, and it starts too much of--of a... Well, I'm--I wish to say this: my heart is to Jesus Christ. He's the One that I love with all my heart. And my first duty is to Him. It--isn't that right? My first duty is to Him. And when I see something that might hinder, along on the call somewhere, or bring a reproach somewhere, that makes me feel... First now, my duty is to Him. See? I want to do something that'll help His cause.
Well now, I--I find out that we just can't help it, in the... and these realms that we--we go is... Fellow arrested, here not long ago, down in the south. He--he got up on the platform, and he said, "Well, that's nothing, Brother Branham's just... it's just mental telepathy," said, "I can do the same thing." And he was a minister too. He got up on the platform and tried some of his mental telepathy, and he's in jailed now. See?
Told a man, said, "You're living untrue to your wife."
He said, "You're a liar." He said, "I stand here to say that I do not, and I'm a gentleman and a Christian, and right here in the neighborhood, and any... everybody knows me." He said, "Tell me when."

L-7 That's right. See? So there, for--for that. And they ought to have done it, they ought to have throwed him in jail. That's exactly right. Brother, if God's not behind it, you better be careful, and you--you'll bring a reproach, sure as the world. See? You be sure that you know from where you speak, and what you're speaking of, and let the Holy Spirit do the talking. You just keep still. That's the best thing to do. Don't you think that's right? See?
And I thought, "Well, in--in the beginning, when first started out, and I'd take people by the hands as He told me," and there it was. You see? And then--then He just keeps on going around till I... See, sometime it brings a reproach, then everybody looks at that. They won't look at the good things the Lord has done. They look at what Satan has done, throw it all in one class. That's just exactly the way it does. They throw it all, say, "There you are, the whole thing is corruption. There's nothing to it." And there you go. See? That's the way the enemy does.
