<TITLE>16. Par 70-73</TITLE>L-70 Now, He said, "I'm the Lord that healeth thee." But maybe there's some reason you can't be healed. Then He speaks through His Word, secondarily through His prophets, and reveals the secrets of the heart.
How many of you people in here believe in speaking with tongues? All right. Anybody believes the Bible believes in speaking with tongues. You couldn't say it was wrong, 'cause the Bible said so. When they put Dr. Reedhead out of the Sudan Missions because he spoke with tongues, why, I said, "You'd have to put Jesus out, He spoke with tongues." You'd have to put all the apo... You couldn't take Paul's teachings, 'cause Paul said, "Forbid not to speak with tongues." That's right. See? So you see what I mean? Paul... You couldn't take Paul's teachings 'cause Paul said, "Don't forbid to speak with tongues." And they do forbid to speak with tongues, and put their best man out because they get close enough to God to speak with tongues. See? See? So you couldn't take any of the disciples in.

L-71 Some dear person, a Nazarene brother, very dear sweet brother, he said, "Brother Branham, I just... We just won't let people come in our church that speaks with tongues."
I said, "Then Jesus couldn't come, 'cause He died speaking in tongues." It's true. And He taught speaking in tongues. The Bible teaches speaking in tongues. All the apostles, all the saints, and everything believed it, taught it, and received it.
Well now, Paul said, "If you all speak with tongues and there be no interpretation for edification of the church, some unlearned person would say, 'Now, aren't you all mad?' But if one is a prophet and will reveal the things that's in the person's heart, then they'll fall down and say, 'God's with you.'" Is that right?

L-72 Well now, all those gifts goes in the Church. Is that right? See, how did I know the woman here? Never seen her, never knowed nothing about her. She looked like she went over there to get in the prayer line, probably without a prayer card, so they just sent her back. See? So, and so that was it. But she don't have to have the prayer card; she just has to have faith. And God honored that when she passed by.
Now, here's a man; I don't know him. God knows I don't. Don't know nothing about him. But God knows him and knows all about him. His very breath he's breathing now is by the mercies of God. If He'd call that life out of him, all this petroleum and light and stuff that his body is made out of will just go right out, and he'd--he'd die. And he couldn't operate no more. He'd be gone.

L-73 So God is the One Who does the healing. He's the One Who knows all things. You're conscious that something's going on. See? You've been conscious there's been something dealing with you ever since you've been standing there, and you know it. That's the Angel of the Lord. Have you ever seen the picture of It?
That Light you know in the picture? You saw that. Now, that's just... In my picture where that discussion that night... Well, Dr. Stonewell has just explained it scientifically, just like...
It's power, the Holy Spirit. And He knows you. He knows us, knows we're brothers. And I know that you're a Christian. And I know that you're a believer. And I know you're suffering with nervousness. And I know another thing, that you got rheumatic fever also. And I know one thing, that you're--you--you have a calling to preach the Gospel. And you don't know which way to go and what to do. Is that right?
