<TITLE>08. Par 30-33</TITLE>L-30 Well, she stoops down and got away from that fellow, moved on over here. Here stood the general board. So there she had trouble again. So she slips on down around where the fishermen was, and here she comes crawling up between their feet, moving up like that, look up and see where--who's that. and she touched His garment; said, "That's just all I need."
So away she went on about there, and she said, "Oh, I'm so thankful that I'm healed."
For she felt in her body; something way down in here said, "That's enough, that's all you need."
Oh, little woman, crawl the same way tonight through every old, long-robed demon of doubt that stands around and tells you, "The days of miracles is past; you've got to come up on the platform; you've got to have hands laid on you," crawl right between there till you touch His garment.
When you touch Him, something will happen down here that says, "I don't need to get on the platform, don't need nothing now."
Watch what happens then. Watch what He will do. Jesus turned around, looked around, said, "Who touched Me?"

L-31 They said, "Why, who touched You? Why," said, "everybody's patting You on the back and trying to shake Your hands and so forth; everybody's touching You. All of this bunch of fishermen up and down the bank here," said, "they..."
He said, "Yes, but somebody touched Me different from them." Said, "Strength is gone out of Me; I'm getting weak."

L-32 So He turned around with those great, lovely eyes, as He moved, and His pathetic look, a Man of sorrow, acquainted with grief, moved around over the audience, probably more than there is standing here. And He looked out there in the audience; He seen the little woman, leveled right down on her. She seen that she couldn't be hid. He said, "Thy faith has healed thee. I never, but your faith in the program of God, your faith has made you whole." And she come and fell down to worship Him.
Jesus' main alternative for crossing the sea that night... there's a little fellow over there who was a priest by the name of Jairus, nice little fellow. But you know, the ministerial association had him all sewed up. He really believed on Jesus, but he was afraid to let it out. Poor little Jairus, what a place that he was in. So they told him, "Anybody that believes on that fanatic, that Beelzebub, that fortuneteller, if anybody believes on that now, we're going to strike their name off the synagogue books right now, any man that believes Him."

L-33 Little Jairus, way down in his heart, believed it. He believed it. God looking around knowed everything. He knowed Jairus believed that, so He just give him an opportunity to express his belief. Sometimes God will do that.
"Well," he said, "Oh, perhaps, [Brother Branham clears his throat--Ed.] yes, that's right." In the association when all the ministers met at the--at the council. You see? They met around there, and he said, "Yes, that--that's probably right, brethren, uh-huh." But in his heart he had faith in Christ. All right. Notice.
Time went on. After while God moved down on His Son; He gave Him a vision of something across the lake over here to happen. And at the same time God begin to prepare the grounds. So He had one little girl, about twelve years old. That's the way God gets in his heart now. He goes down to his little girl, and she gets sick.
Well, you see, Jairus, being a borderline believer, he just believed so much. He didn't know how to believe the rest of it. We got a lot of them today, haven't we?
