<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>54-0307E, Do You Now Believe?, Madison Square Garden, Phoenix, AZ, 85 min
L-1 Thank you, brother. Good evening, Christian friends, and a special good evening to those ministers who stood in that salute. The Lord God bless you, my brethren. I am with you one hundred percent in this Gospel too.
And our Brother Moore just told me, some approximately two hundred of them in here of just Gospel preachers tonight. God bless you, my brothers and sisters. And may the Lord ever make His grace to shine upon you and give you the exceedingly abundantly above all that you could do or think, is my prayer.
This is the night when we gather together for the closing of a meeting, which is always a sad time, yet a blessful time. It's usually more healing done the last night, than there is all the rest the nights put together.

L-2 And when we're singing that glorious old song awhile ago, "Only Believe, All Things Are Possible, Only Believe," I was thinking of that--of that, who wrote that song--Paul Rader. How many ever knew Paul Rader? Is anybody know Paul Rader? Sure, a wonderful man.
Not long ago I was standing in his, in the very place where he wrote the song, and it was coming in over the--the ether waves of "Only Believe," and I was thinking of Paul.
I tell you. I'm kind of a temperamental person. And when I heard that, and know that Paul Rader, perhaps, set on that same chair when he wrote "Only Believe," and they was introducing me to the platform, oh, I just couldn't keep from crying. I--I just... Something just gripped down in my heart.
Paul Rader, I was thinking when he died here in California, the remarks he made. He told a very personal friend of mine, who's a bosom chum; he said, "Brother, if I'd have sold my message of grace to the red hot Pentecostals, instead of coming over here doing what I did, I'd been better off today." That's right. I say, "Amen" to that. Yes, sir.

L-3 Just awhile ago I was talking to Brother Shuler, Jack Shuler was having a meeting here. He said, "Brother Branham," he said, "when I come into Fort Wayne, I followed you."
I told him, I said, "Brother Jack, I never come here as your competitor, I come here as your brother."
He said, "Well, I wondered what you been doing down there."
And said, "Just shoveling wood."
He said, "That's fine."
I said, "Well, Brother Shuler, I'm... My ministry's more to pray for the sick."
He said, "Stay with it, Brother Branham."
I said, "I... Us Pentecostal people..."
He said, "I'm Pentecostal too." He said, "What is a Pentecostal person, Brother Branham?" Says, "It's a fellow that's a orthodox Methodist, got a whole lot of Spirit about him." That--that's pretty good. That's about right.

L-4 He said when he was in Fort Wayne, said, "As soon as I got there..." Of course some of the dry starchies, you know, had something to say after my meeting.
He said, "The brethren..." Brother Billings and them of the temple there, he was backing up my meeting where I was at. He said, "They went out there and got a girl that was a perfect maniac. She was insane, in and out of the institutions. They'd put her in a house, and she'd jump through the windows. She jumped through a two story window once, out from a two story, and fell into the yard and hurt herself: perfectly insane, knowed nothing, or nothing, was brought to the meeting and made perfectly whole."
Said he brought that person right up to the platform and said, "Here she is, and I don't want to hear any more criticism about Brother Branham." That settled it. That was all. Well, that was all. Yes.
Brethren, there's a whole lot of them out there in those denominations with us in heart. That's right.
