<TITLE>16. Par 53-56</TITLE>L-53 You know what Jesus did. They laughed at Him. You know what He did. He put them out. That's right. So don't laugh at Him; you might get put out. He put them out. Put all of them out, on the outside. How could He do anything around a bunch of unbelievers like that. What believers need to do is congregate themselves together and pray till Christ comes into their midst. Then signs and wonders will take place.
There He was, and He put them all out. There He was all enclosed about with all this unbelief. He stood there with the father and the mother of the child. They believed. Peter, James, and John was the only one could go with Him: faith, hope and charity. Walked them into the room, closed the doors behind Him.
On the outside there was a wall of unbelief, but Jesus was possessed with a power, that after earthly things had failed He could speak with another language. And He spoke out into a world yonder where the child's soul was, and a girl that was laying stiff and dead, rose again to her feet in a bloom of life. Called her to her life as He spoke out, "Tabitha," and He called her back, "Daughter, arise."
And He picked her up by the hand and said, "Give her some food." They'd probably embalmed her, and the blood was gone. So they said, "Give her some food till she gets strengthened."

L-54 Oh, I'm so glad tonight to know that that Jesus Christ still lives and reigns and still is the same God tonight that He was in that day. He's forever alive. Have faith in God.
I am so glad corruption knew its Master. The spirit knew its Creator, and nothing else could do; but it had to return as soon as that Son of God called her. I'm glad tonight that if He should call, our names are on His Book, aren't you?
My sinner friend, I trust tonight by God's grace, that your name will be placed upon His Book also, that you may know Him in the pardoning of sin, that you may know Him as your Saviour, while we pray if you will.
The pianist, or organist, rather, will come if she will and play softly "Abide With Me," if you will, sister. While the audience keeps their head bowed for a moment. Every one in prayer now, believing with all your heart. Jesus, the Son of God, knows all things, can do all things. He loves everyone.

L-55 Now, if you're not a Christian, if you're not a believer, I trust that just now God would speak to your heart and say, "This is the hour to believe."
Our heavenly Father, as we're waiting now. "Faith cometh by hearing, hearing of the Word." I pray Thee, Father, to be merciful to us all. Pardon us all of our sins and trespasses. Forgive us, and it is written in Thy holy Word, "He that heareth My Words and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath Everlasting Life; and shall not come into judgment, but's passed from death to Life."
Father, may many be brought to a believing and saving knowledge of Thee this night. For we ask it in Christ's Name and with our heads bowed, praying.

L-56 Is there anyone in Divine Presence anywhere would say by an uplifted hand, "Pray for me, Brother Branham. I am a sinner." God bless you, son. God bless you, sir. God bless you, and God bless you and you. All up in the balconies. Oh, my. As I go out this way to look again. You can just see them from everywhere.
God be merciful. Oh, my. Way out here to my left as I go over here, take a look... Up in there, would you raise your hands?
