<TITLE>02. Par 4-6</TITLE>L-4 I just for one, noticing at... Last Sunday in the room there was a colored brother who's just recently been saved a few months ago and his beloved wife, and she was a cripple on a support. And he was hideously ruptured. And while speaking with him in private terms in the deacon's office, with a private interview that he had called ahead and got the arrangements made... Each Sunday we have so many we can get each Sunday. I...
Feeling, while setting there in the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, why, a lady had just went out that was on crutches, that had let... went out walking without them. And this man very definitely, believing the Lord Jesus, why, was prayed for with a great hideous rupture... And I told him, I said, "Now, that rupture will start from this very moment going back to its place." I said, "Now, as it--as it goes back, then you watch it as it moves back, which will give you more faith.
See, faith's got to be based upon something, not just mythical thought. It's got to have something basically to stand on, faith does. And that's the reason we believe that the Word of God teaches Divine healing, deliverance to the soul, deliverance to the body. And we base it upon God's eternal Word.

L-5 And I said to the brother, "Now, that you might know that I have told you the truth..." For seeing before me in the vision, I said, "You take, when you go home, and tighten around that rupture, a string, and measure it, and then cut that string off. And don't touch it any more till next Sunday. And before you come up, take that... take another string and rap around that, and bring me the difference that shrunk in the strings.
He said, "I'll do it."
Well, here's the string, about an inch and a half cut off of it, like that. Here sets the man, the man... Just so that you could see that what has happened. Now, something has taken place. I have never in my life seen any times that God ever said anything, or told it by vision, or a revelation, but what it was exactly the way God said it would be (See?), just exactly.
His wife, last Sunday coming, was walking on support of a crutch, or stick, cane. And I noticed her today, she was in there. She couldn't walk, or she... I told her that the Lord would make her well. She had a--a limb that was stiffened. And I see her walking up, she had took her cane to her shoulder in there, and here she is today.

L-6 [A woman speaks in the congregation--Ed.] And there--there's another lady that, another one of them, from down... that was... She was in such a fix with so many diseases last Sunday and crippled up, and she lives way down somewhere around Georgetown, is it, lady, or somewhere down in there? Georgetown, Indiana. She said, "But, Brother Branham, I'm old."
I said, "But Abraham was too, lot older than you, and he was asked to believe something that was impossible." And she accepted it, and there she is. And here's the other lady, setting right behind the lady I was talking about, right behind her husband here, the colored lady setting right here, and the other lady back there. Her strains for evidences, the crutch is gone for evidences. Jesus Christ lives and reigns for the supreme evidence that He rose from the dead and is with us this day. How we thank Him from the depths of our heart, that He still lives; He is not dead. He rose from the dead and living amongst mortals today, ever willing, able to do the exceedingly abundantly above all that we could do or think. We praise Him with all of our heart, for His loyal goodness to us.
