<TITLE>15. Par 57-60</TITLE>L-57 Brother Branham, does He perform miracles like that today? He done it three times in His lifetime. And right here, if you'll read here's authentic statements, signed by great hands. I've seen it three times in my life, that the dead laid out dead, pronounced dead by the doctor and they're living today. That's right.
What is it? Me? Not me, I'm just as you. But it's Him. See? It's Him, the resurrected One: Jesus Christ, the Lord God of heaven, His only beloved Son--begotten Son rather. All right.

L-58 Now, as we're standing in the line... All right. Come. Now. Come, lady, on... I believe I know this woman. Now, you're Mrs. Collier, aren't you? I--I... McKannan. Excuse me. I was wrong. All right. All right.
The Lord knows both of us, doesn't He? He knows us both. And now, there's something... I want you, sister, to believe the Lord Jesus, and I want to talk to you, 'cause that it happened to be that I have no way of knowing who's going to be up here on the platform, who's going to be first, 'cause that's by--by a prayer card. See? They just pass out a number. They give them to anybody wants them, and then when I come in, I just call for certains anywhere, and sometimes just come call a few here, and few from this number, and a few from that number, some place. Doesn't matter, just so they get here. Then those... Just as soon as I get the anointing on me, It goes right out through the audience, and begins to speak to those out there.

L-59 How many out there want to be healed tonight without prayer cards? Let's see your hand. All right. Just pray. Just ask God. See if He doesn't confirm it to be the absolute truth. God will grant it, if you'll just believe it. That's what you have to do. Have faith in God.
Now, in talking to the lady... Now, for instance, what if our Lord was standing here and talking to her. The first thing He would do, like He did the woman at the well. He'd talk to her a few minutes. I wonder why Jesus waited and sent the disciples away, and waited there until that woman come, and then when He went to talking to her... When she first walked up and dropped the bucket down like that; what if He'd say, "Just a moment woman. Go get rid of your five husbands and you'll be all right." No, He didn't. He said, "Bring Me a drink." He felt the Spirit move on Him, of course. He said, "Bring Me a drink." And it wasn't customary for that even to happen, for Him to talk to a Samaritan.
She said, "Why, the well's deep and so forth."
And they got to talking... Then what was He doing?
Now, this is between the lines, friends. That's the reason they re--failed to recognize Jesus Christ when He come. They'd read the Scriptures about it, but they failed to recognize Him. And it's the same thing today; we got our own ritualistic routine. Anything out of that, we don't believe it. Fundamental as we can be, but God comes right in between the lines sometimes. We fail to see it. Now, He was contacting her spirit.

L-60 Now, the woman... God in heaven knows I know nothing about the woman, no more than I've seen her. I've seen her. I'm pretty sure... Is she a member here at your church, Brother Cauble? Well, I'm still wrong. I thought I'd seen her here at the church or something. I... But maybe I'm all mixed up. All right. If... Sometimes when I get... When the Spirit... When that gets... The anointing begins to come near, well, then I... Even my people could stand before me, hardly, and I wouldn't recognize them. Now, you may think that that's fanaticism. But it isn't.
Now, now, He is here: the One that you got the picture of, the Pillar of Fire that led the children of Israel. I say that in the Name of the Lord. And now, in the Name of Jesus Christ, I take every spirit here under my control for God's glory, for the healing of the sick, delivering from evil spirits. And God be merciful to critics and to unbelievers is my prayer.
