<TITLE>17. Par 64-67</TITLE>L-64 Now remember, Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever. Tom, if you want to, you can turn that fan on back there, if you want to, Brother Reed. I see some of the people perspiring. All right.
W-1 to 20 first. Now, if Jesus Christ was here, the Son of God, what would He do? He would be able to know your condition. That's about all I could say.
Now look. You say, "Brother Branham, you mean He only done what told Him? Now, listen. That's His Word. Do you believe it? Jesus Christ never done one miracle without first God showing it to Him first.

L-65 Now, you say, "Well, Brother Branham, look there comes some blind men, pushing through the street one day, hollering 'Have mercy on me, Lord. Have mercy on me.'" He just walked on. He went on into the house. When they come in the house, they come to Him said, "Lord, have mercy on me. Have mercy on me." He turned around and touched their eyes, and said, "According to your faith," is that right, not Mine, yours... The Father hadn't showed Him. And they had faith and their eyes were opened.
A woman come, touched the hem of His garment, He never healed her. No, sir. Jesus said He didn't heal her. He turned around and said, "Daughter, be of a good cheer; thy faith has saved thee." Is that right? It's your faith in the finished works of God what does it. "Thy faith has saved thee," not mine, yours.
Look at Lazarus, the resurrection of Lazarus. Jesus, they called Him, "Come, pray for Lazarus." He went on away. They called Him again. He went on, kept on going.
And on the third day, He said, or four days, He said, "Lazarus sleepeth."
They said, "He doeth well."
He said, "Lazarus' dead, and for your sake I'm glad I wasn't there, but I go wake him."

L-66 When He come to the tomb where Lazarus was buried, look what He said. He said, "Father, I thank Thee that Thou hearest me always, but I say it for the cause... these who are standing by. He knowed just exactly what God was going to do. God had showed Him. That's the reason He stayed the four days till the vision was fulfilled, come back, done what God told Him to do. That fulfills His Word, "I do what the Father shows."
Now, if He's the same yesterday, today, and forever, He will do tonight, just exactly the same thing. He's in His Church, don't you believe it? There He is. Not no matter... You could pour a gallon of oil on your head. If you got unconfessed sins and so forth, it'll hang right with you. That's right. Get right with God; clean out your heart. And you see here on the platform night after night, sins and everything exposed. Don't come up here, sin hanging on you, unless you know what you're... If you don't want it called out, you better confess it before you get here. See?

L-67 Here not long ago, there was an impostor slipped in the line, goes to a great church. We was at Windsor, Ontario. We had eighty-five hundred the first night in the meeting. Long about end of the meeting, there was a man come to the platform, fine looking fellow, dressed in a gray suit and a red tie. He come up there. I was so weak; them visions just weaken me. He come up, he said, "I want to be healed, Rev. Branham." And I just took a hold of his hand to see if it... what was. I said, "You haven't any disease, brother."
And he said, "Oh, yes, I have." He thought it was mental telepathy. He said, "Ask that usher down there, got my prayer card. Look on it."
I said, "I don't care what you put on the prayer card, you... There's nothing wrong with you. You're not a sick man."
He said, "I am a sick man."
I said, "You--you're not." I said, "You might've been, sir, but maybe you had faith out there and was healed."
He turned around, struck his hands in his pocket, and said, "So that's the way it is, is it? Uh-huh!" Facing the audience, said, "I knowed that..."
