<TITLE>08. Par 22-23</TITLE>L-22 Now, He's ready to make anybody--save anybody that wants to be saved. How could you get a mental picture of Calvary and remain a sinner? How could you look at Him going up Golgotha to the hill to be crucified in your place: a guilty sinner and see the precious Son of God, going up the hill, dying in your stead? How could you look at His back bleeding when He was striped across His back for our healing? Then deny Divine healing? God have mercy.
Let me, O Lord, live. Let me testify to it, if the whole world turns it down, yet, Lord, I believe You. I still believe it. If I... Tonight if I would preach and a thousand people'd get converted, be filled with the Holy Spirit and die, and fifty years from now return back and say, "Brother Branham, don't go that way, because it's not right," I'd still say, "Let me die in Christ Jesus."
If I prayed for a thousand people and all of them died in the morning, tomorrow night I could preach Divine healing and pray for the sick just as easy as I can tonight, because it's God's Word and it can't fail. It's God's Word. God has given It to us. Don't bypass It; embrace It. Claim the promise; say, "It's mine, oh Lord. You died for me and I'm willing tonight, to lift myself up as an example and a testimony. I want to be an ensign to You. I want the world to know that You're my Saviour. I want everybody to know that I lift myself up as a Christian; I believe You; and I'll go testify and tell everyone that You saved me." And if you're sick, I'd get to my feet and say, "I accept my healing. And I--Jesus Christ was lifted up for an Ensign, striped for my healing, so will I lift my testimony up and myself, and say, 'By His stripes I am healed.'" Amen. Oh what love.

L-23 Now look. The Israelites looked at the brass serpent and were healed. Looked to the brass serpent, first forgiven of sins, and then healed. As the prophet said, or the poet said:
Look and live, my brother, live.
Look to Jesus now and live.
It's recorded in His Word,
Hallelujah, It's only as you look, you live.
Let's look tonight to God's Ensign, the Son of God. It's been preached down through the years. The power of the Holy Spirit, that His Spirit coming in here and showing signs and wonders and miracles that He is still the same Lord Jesus. How can you escape the wrath of God if you would doubt such things as God would do? Shall we bow our heads just a moment.
