<TITLE>10. Par 27-29</TITLE>L-27 One time, it happened to be one of my managers, not Brother Baxter, but it was a man who was with us, one of the field managers. And a newspaper had made a very critical statement that was absolutely untrue. I can expect friendly criticism; but the criticism wasn't due because it was untrue. As long as it's truth, all right. But it wasn't true. And this manager said, "Why don't you go out there and kneel on your knees and tell God to burn that place down?"
I said, "Oh, brother, don't think..."
He said, "What we need today is some more Elijahs." Said, "Elijah would've called fire out of heaven." Said, "he would--how he done to the fifty." Well, the brother was just mistaken. See? Elijah did not call fire out of heaven, only but when God showed him.
He said, "Oh, Brother Branham," said, "Elijah just went out there and boldly challenged." Said, "Come out and prove Who's God."
I said, "No, he never." God told him first.
"Oh," he said, "He never seen no vision."
I said, "Yes, he did." I said, "When he said, when he put all the--his bullock and so forth on a altar, and had poured the water upon it, he walked out; and he said, 'God, I have did this at Your command.'" Is that right? Then the fire begin to fall, after he had completed everything. See? First it must be shown.

L-28 Now, first thing, God's Word says that Jesus Christ healed you at Calvary when He died nineteen hundred years ago. The Word of God teaches that. Is that right? All right. Just as "He was wounded for your transgressions... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
You want to argue with me? The man's there. And I do not see him; that's impossible for me to see him. Why? I have another sense, and that sense is feeling. And my feeling is just as direct as my seeing. Is that right? So now, I do not see him. It's impossible for me to see him, but he's there because I feeled him.
Now, it's impossible for me to feeled him; he's out of my reach; but I know he's there by sight. Now, how many senses control the human body? Five: see, taste, feel, smell, and hear. Is that right? Now, I see him now. My sight--my sense of sight says he's there. But my sense of feeling isn't active. Now, I know he's there by the sense of feeling and my sight is inactive to him. Thank you very much.
Hit something on the piano there, will you, sir? [The man plays several chords--Ed.] Just... How many hears that? How many seen that? No, you never saw it. You can't see it. Well, how do you know that was a--that was a music note? How do you know it was--is that piano? Did you see it coming through the air? Taste it? Feeled it? Smell it? But you know it was there, don't you? You heard it. Is that right?

L-29 Now, look. What is faith? Faith is a sixth sense. Five senses control this man. God put man in five senses to contact his earthly home. You don't contact God with your five senses. You know God by faith which is the sixth sense, which is the... There's two senses of the soul: faith and unbelief. And if you're possessed with faith, faith is just as real--much reality to you as sight is.
If you believe that shirt's white tonight, if you got sight and have faith in your sight, and you say that, shirt's white... If you believe Jesus Christ healed you at Calvary, just--and your faith will declare to you as much as what your sight does to this, you're healed right now. It's over. See? Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things you do not see, taste, feel, smell, nor hear. You believe it. Say, "Well, I don't feeled any different." You're not supposed to feel any different. You're supposed to believe. Is that right? The Lord bless you. Have faith in God.
