L-1 Thank you, Brother Baxter. Good evening, friends. I'm very happy to be here tonight to minister in the Name of our Lord Jesus. We are a little sorry to be late on our first night. The old English proverb that a--a bad start makes a good ending, we hope that'll be so in this case.
And now, I have come here to pray for the sick, the needy of this city, and its surroundings. I come to do this in the Name of our Lord Jesus. I do not come to do it within my own strength, or my own name, or my own talent, for I have none. I only come in His Name as His servant to minister to the people. And I trust that our stay with you here, will be a blessing to you and will be a blessing to us. And I will be praying for you while you pray for me, that we'll be together God's workers in His vineyard.
This is my first time to be in this part of the country, and in this part of Florida. I've always had a desire to come to Tallahassee.

L-2 Today on the street, while the manager and I and my wife were having just a little lunch, and we come out, and they... A little girl met me, and she was waving at me through the window. She said, "Don't you know me, Brother Branham?"
Said, "I don't believe I do, honey." That pair of pretty little blue eyes looking at me, about six, seven years old... And when she revealed who she was, it was a little girl from your surrounding city here somewhere. And she had had her eye with a accident and cut the sight out of it. And the doctor told her there was no hopes at all, there could ever be any hopes for her ever to see out of that eye again expected. Friends, the faithful father said, "Oh, yes, there is." And he wrapped her in a blanket and rushed to Jeffersonville. I was just leaving my church that evening, and he came in late, probably this time of the night, drove all the way through without making any stops, only to get gasoline. And he... I was in the yard and prayed for it, the little girl. And today she couldn't tell me just exactly which eye it was. It was just so perfect, both of them, that the Lord had healed.

L-3 She gave me a little present. It was a little envelope. In talking to the child, I never thought much about it. I stuck it in my pocket. When I got home, it was a Valentine. I thought, "How sweet." A little girl, and loveliest little verse, and I... If she's in the audience tonight, I certainly thank you, sweetheart, and that means a whole lot to me to know. And it's about something about friends. And I'm so happy to know that Jesus gave her her sight after the optical nerve had been severed free. But it has grown back together, and God the great Healer, made her well. I believe He rewarded that father of his faith and the little child of its faith. And I trust that when the services is over, there'll be many testimonies like that to glorify our Lord Jesus.

L-4 Now, Christian friend, newspapers, and articles, and magazines and so forth, has oft referred to me many times as a Divine healer. Well, that--that's wrong. I'm not a Divine healer. I'm your brother, co-worker with these ministers here in the Kingdom of God; I only pray for the sick. I do not heal anyone.
And there's no one else to my humble way of seeing the Scriptures, that could heal you. Your healing is already purchased at Calvary when Jesus died, just as your salvation was. And see, you wasn't saved last year or ten years ago, you were saved nineteen hundred years ago, and you accepted it last year or ten years ago. See? And you were healed nineteen hundred years ago. And the only thing that any of us can do, is to point you to what Jesus has done for you. See?
