<TITLE>09. Par 33-35</TITLE>L-33 Now, I have tried my best to give that type of--of speaking to the people that their faith... Now, this true, that I will admit this is... Just while we're small tonight, I want to tell you little secrets and things as I go along. Now, there's--there's things that... This is truth. And you all have followed my meetings place after place, and (many of you), and you've never seen one time, sincerely, on a platform that anybody ever was brought there but what something happened to them right there. That's exactly right.
I've never in my life, ever sincerely, asked God for anything, but what I got it (That's right.), maybe not in the way that I asked for it, but I got it. I've seen people rise right up from death's door (the doctor standing there), with death's struggle in their throats and see them people live for a week and then die. See? God letting me know, "I'll hear your prayer..." But you've got to know the will of God towards things. And that's about the ministry, the people. See?

L-34 When you're standing before the people, and God will show a vision, just what's going to happen, then you know what's going to happen, whether it's death or life, or what they got to make right, or something like that. Sometimes I see it turns dark around the people; that's death. And I just don't say nothing, go ahead. But when I see the procession, I know it's over. You see? So then you've heard me times... And you just watch any time (That isn't me.), but you watch any time whatever He says on "THUS SAITH THE HOLY SPIRIT (or) THE LORD," you watch and see if that ain't just exactly that way. It'll be that way.

L-35 Now, faith first has to be based on the Word. The Word of God produces faith. Now, if God said so, then I'd believe it. I'd believe it with all my heart. Now, it's just not because Brother Branham. "Brother somebody else laid hands on me, I believe it was that." That doesn't have... That's obeying orders. But my hands to be laid on you is no more than Brother--Brother Joseph's hand, or any other minister, or any other lay member of the church. Everybody that believes in Divine healing, and is a Christian, has a right to pray for the sick. That's exactly right. "Confess your faults one to another and pray one for another that you may be healed."
Now, it is true that some great person of faith, a great warrior of faith, has more faith to stand there (that burly faith) and take the thing away. But unless you stand right there with that same faith, it'll come right back again. I have had men (with this Bible) has been brought to the platform, that couldn't even see their hand before them and read chapters out of this Bible, and come back the next night just as blind as they was in the first place. See? Because, the first thing, they're standing there, they're under that anointing, and, oh, my, the heavens is all on fire with them.
