<TITLE>18. Par 67-70</TITLE>L-67 The boy laying out there, done been dead four days, skin worms crawling through his body, contamination, the nose had done dropped in in that much time. "But even now, Lord, whatever You ask God, God will do it."
I imagine there's people here that's been to every doctor there is in the country around here. The doctor's probably give you up, said, "You're a hopeless case." "But even now, Lord, whatever You ask God, God will do it."
Could you think that? That changes hearts. He looked at her and said, "Thy brother shall rise again."
She said, "Yes, Lord. I know, he will raise again in the last day; he's a good boy. He will raise in the last day, the general resurrection."
Watch Him. He wasn't very much to look upon. The Bible said, "No beauty, we should desire Him," probably little thin Fellow. He straightened His little body up; He said, "I am the Resurrection, and Life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: Whosoever liveth and believeth shall never die. Believest thou this?"

L-68 She said... Watch it, every wheel coming right to itself. A woman desiring something of God, standing before Him, wholly anointed, and tell Him, "Yes, I believe that You are the Messiah. I believe You are the Son of God; You're the Lord of the harvest. I believe that whatever You ask God, God will do it. God promised that, to do that in the Messiah, so I'm asking You, and I'm here before you right now. Even now, Lord, whatever You ask, God will give it."
Watch it. He said, "Thy brother, shall rise again."
She said, "In the last days."
He said, "I am the Resurrection, and Life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die. Believest thou this?"
She said, "Yes, Lord: I believe that You are the Son of God, which should come into the world."

L-69 What do you think about this this afternoon? You believe this is the Holy Spirit? Just take the same attitude towards It and find out what happens. Whatever you have need of, God will give it to you if you'll recognize that to be the Holy Spirit. The trouble of it is, you--you don't know, what to think about it. Throw loose every shackle and say, "It's real." Yes, sir.
She said, "Whatever You ask God, God will do."
And He said, "Thy brother shall rise again."
She said, "Yes, Lord, in the resurrection."
Now, watch, said, "Where have you laid him?" And here He goes.
A person said to me some years ago, said, "Brother Branham, do you mean to tell me you believe that Man was Divine?"
I said, "Yes, sir."
Said, "I can prove that He was only a man."
I said, "He was more than a Man."
"Oh," she said, "He was--he was a prophet." That's what some of this here shallow teaching today's got people in.
Said, "Brother, He was--He was either God or He was a deceiver; He was a liar."

L-70 He said, "Why, He wasn't Divine, Brother Branham," said, "He couldn't have been. I can prove to you by the Bible that He wasn't Divine."
I said, "If you'll prove it by the Bible I will accept it."
She said, "All right." She said, "In Saint John the 11th chapter, the Bible said when Jesus was going down to the grave of Lazarus that He wept." Said, "That proves that He was a Man; He cried tears like a mortal."
I said, "Sure He cried, but He was a God-Man." I said, "When He got down to the grave of Lazarus, He might've cried like a man. But when a man that been laying there four days, dead and rotten, laying in the grave. And He rolled back the stone and the stink of it around everywhere, and He stood there, that same Man that'd been crying, and spoke, and said, 'Lazarus, come forth.' And a man that'd been dead four days and his soul four day's journey somewhere, rose and stood on his feet, that was more than a man. That was God speaking through His Son. He was a God-Man."
