<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>54-0900, Have Faith In God, St. Nicholas Arena, New York, NY, 66 min
L-1 Shall we bow our heads just a moment. Our kind heavenly Father, we thank Thee for this faith of the people. Even after many, many years has past, still You have people that believe. We're so thankful tonight for the opportunity to be associated with them, fellow citizens of the Kingdom of God, pilgrims of this world, strangers professing that our inheritance is of above and not of this world. And we pray tonight that Thy great power will be manifested among us insomuch that the lame walk, the blind see, those with heart trouble be made well, the cancer healed, demons cast out, sinners saved, backsliders reclaimed, the glory going to the Father of the Spirits and the Lord Jesus Christ, for we ask it in His Name and for His glory. Amen. You may be seated.

L-2 The Lord God bless you each one, as we have gathered again this evening for another service in the Name of Him Who has redeemed us, the Lord Jesus Christ. And I'm trusting by His grace, that God will give us today the exceedingly and abundantly above all that we could do or think; may God give it to us tonight.
It's a little cooler, and we're very happy for this, that it is cooler. And now, as you know that our beloved Brother Baxter does the speaking at night. And usually I have just a little something and then go to--right straight to the service. It's always a privilege to have Brother Baxter speak, because whenever I've tried to speak myself, preach, and then turn right around for the service, it certainly is shocking to... It's the same Spirit, but it's two different types of a ministry. One of them is the preaching. Well, it doesn't tire me. I... If you just preached right on, but--but when it comes to one vision, oh, my, you know the difference then. And now, in praying for the sick I can pass the people by and pray for them.

L-3 Last Sunday afternoon a week ago I prayed for four thousand people individually, one right after the other one. They counted them as they went through. Four thousand taken me several hours to get through them, never bothered me, I'm no more tired than I am right now (See?), never bothered me a bit. But let one vision happen, I just don't, I just don't know. We just get so weak. Many people can't understand that; I can't understand it. Only God knows about it. But there's something about seeing a vision, another dimension that's weakens the human being. It's been through the ages. The prophets of old when they seen visions, they were troubled at their head. You remember Daniel said he was... saw one vision he was troubled for several days at his head. A woman touched the hem of Jesus' garment and He said, "Virtue (or strength) has gone from Me."
And I can see Him laying in the boat one night and the--even the waves didn't even wake Him up; He was so weak and tired. He was human the same as God, and the human part is what weakens.

L-4 Now, we trust that you'll just have faith and believe. Now, tonight I wish to read just a little portion of Scripture in order, some way just walking right straight to the platform... Yeah, there's something about human spirit, that you have to get the human spirit settled to you. Now, you say, "That's psychology, Brother Branham." Well, if it is the Lord Jesus Christ used it. He put them all out of the house that day at Jairus, when He rose--raised his daughter up from the dead. You remember that? Took a man outside the city, and put plaster over his eyes and healed him, another deaf man He made to hear. Peter when he went into the house where Dorcas was dead, the women were all weeping and going on; He put them, everyone out of the house like that, get to himself alone. Jesus usually take Him two or three as a witness like Peter, James, John, but you have to sometimes be alone.
