<TITLE>14. Par 58-60</TITLE>L-58 Our heavenly Father, we thank Thee tonight, that we know this one thing: that the Holy Spirit is living here tonight, confirming the Word of our Lord Jesus Christ and bringing to pass those things which He said would be. Dear God, I cannot be responsible for the faith of the people. I'm responsible for preaching Your Word, and for testifying and telling those things which I know to be true. Thou--Thou knowest. You know about the African affair.
And, Father, I believe tonight, that as sure as I'm standing in the pulpit here tonight on this platform, that there is soon a time, when You'll be with me and will help me in Africa or in India. Be near me now. Stand by me tonight. And bless me, and keep Thy loving wings of mercy over us, making an atonement for our sins and trespasses, forgiving us of all things, and helping us to live for You.
And forgive every sinner in the building tonight. Take all skepticism away, and may the power of God have preeminence tonight, and be predominant over all unbelief, and drive back the enemy; and pour our Your Spirit, and heal the sick, and save the lost, in Jesus' Name, I ask it. Amen.

L-59 Prayer card W, turn your prayer card, you that have cards, they have nothing to do with your healing. I believe if you'll believe with me, that God will manifest Hisself tonight in this group that's grouped together here. Let people get healed. There's only one thing that keeps you from being healed. If I read the Bible right, I believe I have millions that agree with me on the Scripture. That the only thing that keeps us from being healed is a lack of faith that is if our heart's right, and that's all. Is that right? If He was wounded for our transgressions, by His stripes we're healed.
Look, I noticed one time, a fellow kept coming to my church. And he would say... I'd say, "All that wants to be remembered in prayer, that they'll become Christians, stand up." Every night, he'd stand up. All right. Next night, I'd say, "All that wants to be Christians, wants to be remembered in prayer to be a Christian, stand up." He'd stand up, through that revival. And after while, it'd be months, and I'd have another revival, he'd stand up. This when I was a Baptist minister there. He'd stand up and want to be remembered.
I'd meet him on the street; I'd say, "Are you a Christian yet?"
"No. No. Be praying for me, Brother Branham."
"All right."
"Thank you."

L-60 Went on and on like that. One night while we had service, I said, "All that wants to become Christians, wants to be remembered in a word of prayer stand up." There he stood up.
I said, "Come here a minute." He walked up. I said, "What's the matter with you?"
"I don't know."
I said, "Do you want to be a Christian?"
"Yes, sir."
I said, "Why don't you become a Christian?"
He said, "I don't know.
I said, "There's just something, you, down in your heart, you want to be a Christian, but there's something that won't let you be a Christian. Is that right?"
He said, "That's it."
I said, "That's the devil. And that's unbelief." And I said, "Do you believe that?"
He said, "Yes, sir."
I said, "Do you believe if I'll ask God to break that power of unbelief above you, that you'll be a Christian?"
He said, "Yes, sir."
And just that time when we got...?... he let out a scream. He jumped up in the air like that. It was gone. And the man is a staunch Christian today.
