<TITLE>02. Par 5-8</TITLE>L-5 In Durban, South Africa, I was praying, and something come to the platform, a man in such a crippled condition. A vision showed that the man was going to be well. And I asked the people if they would believe. They said, "Yes." A little boy, his little eyes crossed, and they come straight. When those people seen that, I offered prayer for over a hundred thousand, and it was estimated twenty-five thousand healings at once.
They piled up crutches, and wheelchairs, and cots, till it would take trucks to haul them away. What happened? They got in one accord. They said, "If we can see something that proves to us that the God you're talking about is true and living now, we'll believe it." And when they seen it, they wasn't speaking from their mind, they were speaking from their heart. They just got up and started out; that's what did it. Why, they... Most of those people didn't even know which was right and left hand. They had never seen white people before, some of them.

L-6 And you people, one of the smartest nations in the world, surely, you can believe. You know why? Our education hinders us lots of times. We have been taught everything. One teaches this, one this; it's contrary one to another. And the poor white people, and the people who lives in civilization, has so got so mixed up, they don't know what to believe. Now, isn't that about the truth?...?... You know it.
What we need today, and the greatest healing we need today is the healing of the body of Jesus Christ, His body, the body of believers that's been broke up by--by different denominations, and they different one from another. They don't have love one for another. What we need tonight is a uniting together, all Christians shake hands, every denomination, then God will come down and visit us. Great signs and wonders will take place. You believe that?

L-7 When I was first went out into the ministry, with this type of ministry, why, I--I--I met a group of people. They were called Pentecostal, the United Pentecost. They were in America, and they said to me, "Oh, Brother Branham, you need to belong to us. We've been looking for this. Don't have nothing to do with the other group."
Then when I talked to the Assembly church, they said, "You come with us, Brother Branham. Don't have nothing to do with the other side." Everyone said the same thing.
Brethren, you know what I said? "I don't want to know neither side. Let me stand between you, put my arms around both of you, and say we are brethren." That's what we need. That's what the world needs. Then the Church of Jesus Christ will move forward. God hasten the day till we can see it.

L-8 This blind man at the gate of Jericho, he had many odds against him, because he was a beggar. And he set by the gates. Many beggars them days, so his chances was very small of him finding a few coins to--to take care of himself and family. Perhaps the first man, the man out, that had a coin to give, he gave it to the first beggar he come to.
But this poor fellow was blind; maybe some that wasn't as bad off as him. I don't know just how long he'd been blind, but maybe for a long time. But anyhow, he set in a darkened world. My, that's a sad thing. That's one of the saddest sights nearly you can see.
