<TITLE>04. Par 11-14</TITLE>L-11 And we pray, now, not knowing why that Brother Moore hasn't showed up in all these nights, and I pray, Father, that You'll help him and bless him, wherever he is.
And I ask Your blessings upon all that are unsaved tonight. May something be said or done here tonight that will cause the unsaved to believe You and receive You, the backslider to come back; those outside of Christ to be baptized into the Body of believers. And may every sick person here tonight, Lord, every one that's cancer ridden, TB, whatever it might be, may they be perfectly whole tonight. And may there not be a feeble person left among us. May ever crippled person walk out without crutch or support. May those on cots rise up and walk.
And may the Lord Jesus just throw out His arms of power and grip every heart in such a way that they'll know that He's here, granting these blessings. And when we leave tonight, may we say like those who came from Emmaus, "Did not our hearts burn within us because of His Presence." For we ask it in His Name. Amen.

L-12 Now, in the speaking, of the reading, setting forth of the Scripture tonight, we're speaking on Abraham. And in the Book of Genesis, God gave or appeared to Abraham in five, or seven compound redemptive Names. One of those Names was Jehovah-jireh, the one that we have under consideration tonight. Then He was Jehovah-jireh, "the Lord will provide a sacrifice," Jehovah-rapha--"the Lord the Healer," and the shield, the Buckler, and so forth, on down, of the compound redemptive Name.

L-13 The night in the discussion at Houston, Texas, when this Angel's picture was taken... Many of you've heard the story perhaps, of how it happened about. We were having a lovely meeting in Houston, and sponsored there by many of the churches. And a certain minister said, that wrote a piece in the paper, and said that I was a religious impostor, and imposing myself as a servant of God, and I ought to be run out of town. And he'd like to be the one to do it. So He challenged me to a debate on the Scripture. Said that I could not support Divine healing by the Scriptures.
Well, Mr. Bosworth was managing that meeting. And here he come in the room, you know, real excited, said, "Looky here, Brother Branham. Looky here." Said...
Caught--caught his hand, and I said, "Now, look, Brother Bosworth, all the fussing you could do with that man, he'd walk away with the same belief he had when he come in."
You don't get nothing by fussing. Jesus didn't come to fuss; He just done what the Father told Him. If they believed it, all right; if they didn't, all right anyhow. So after all, if God confirms the Word... Jesus said, "If you can't believe Me, why, believe the works I do, that the Father sent Me."

L-14 And he said... But Brother Bosworth said, "But, Brother Branham," he said, "I tell you," said, "I--I--I think you ought to take that up."
And I said, "Oh, no, Brother Bosworth, just let it alone." I said, "Look. We're having about eight thousand people now, and there's about seven thousand of them want to be prayed for, and give one of the nights to fuss with that preacher, and the only thing you go away..." I said, "If he's born an unbeliever, God made him an unbeliever, and how he's going to be anything else but an unbeliever."
I said, "God predestinated a man... Men of old was foreordained to this condemnation." I said, "The Bible said so."
So if they can't believe, just like pouring water from a ducks back; they can't believe, ain't got nothing to believe with.
And I said, "Then, you never heard a man that was ever born again with the Spirit of God say such a remark as that." I said, "Because he's got God in him; he believes all things. What God wrote, he just believes it." But I said, "Now, the man don't believe so just let him alone."
