<TITLE>05. Par 14-17</TITLE>L-14 But now, we want to, the next few nights if we can, instead of preaching I just want to give a few little exclamations of the Word, and then run the prayer line just as long as I can stand on my feet. See? Because I'm getting lots of letters. The people that's here is saying, "We--we can't stay much longer, Brother Branham."
Now, we have no way of knowing about who's going to get prayed for in the night. How do I know how many out there's going to be healed tonight, when I don't know a living soul as far as I know of? Can't see one person in the audience that I knowingly have ever seen before. I know some of these boys setting here. See? There's some of them from, well, from my church and down in Jeffersonville that I am--am friends, personal friends. And... But I don't know no one out there.
Now, how do I know where that Angel of the Lord's going to hang tonight and show a vision over somebody that I know nothing about? Why, that... Billy Paul, I... He's coming down this afternoon, tonight, rather to give out some cards, and I suppose he did. He probably give out about a hundred cards. They're out there. Only thing he can do is just mix them up together and give them to you. And he--he don't know where the--the prayer cards, or numbers are going to be called from. I don't either. I don't know whether to even call any or not. See?

L-15 And--and don't make any difference whether you have a prayer card or not. Only thing I'm trying to do is just get you to believe the Lord Jesus Christ, and He will heal you. You don't have to have a prayer card. If you notice, there's more healed out in the audience than there is comes to the platform. But I... But it does limit my strength.
Now, the other day, I understand that someone who knew me real well, that said as far as me getting weak, and that weakening me, was just a fake. Well, God forgive the man who said it. See? Because he didn't know what he was talking about. That's all. He doesn't know. And it is not, my dear beloved friends.

L-16 Physically speaking, I thank God for good health, very strong. And I'm a hunter and live in the mountains and woods, and by the grace of God pretty fair at it. And so then I've rode horses and things all my life and been pretty well hard-worked all my life. And as far as physically speaking, all right. But just... I could stand here and preach to you all night, still preach. But let one of those visions happen, and you can almost get ready to pack me out of the platform. See? And that's just... It weakens me. Why? I don't know. But the Scripture says that it will do it, and it does do it. That's all I know.

L-17 So good Lord bless you now. I'm going to read two places in the Scriptures here just for a little thought or talk, perhaps not over fifteen minutes, then call a prayer line, so we won't keep you up too late at night. Now, one of them is about... Both places will be pertaining to the redemptive names of Jehovah. And one of them is found in Genesis 22: 7th verse.
And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son... Here am I. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?
And Abraham said, My son, God will provide... a lamb for the burnt offering: so they went both... together.
And in the 14th verse we read:
And Abraham called the name of the place Jehovah-jireh:... that is to say to this day, In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.
And then over in the Psalms, the 64th Psalm, the 1st verse. It said:
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in time of trouble.
