<TITLE>10. Par 43-46</TITLE>L-43 Now, Martha had been dilatory about spiritual things, but bless her heart, she sure got on fire now. Away she went. Seemed like that she could've upbraided the Lord. But when she met Him, look what she done. Watch her approach now. Look at this woman's approach.
That's the way you get things from God is the way you approach it. You have to approach it.
Watch what the Angel said, "If you can get the people to believe you and be sincere when you pray, then nothing will stand before the prayer. Get the people to believe."
"How can I do it, Lord?"
Said, "By these things, but then people would believe." See? That would be..
I said, "They'd never believe that I--You told me to go pray for sick people."
But He said, "By this, they will." See? "If you can get the people to believe." It's only a sign to get you believe that Jesus Christ died for your sickness and your sins. And accepting on basis of His shed Blood, you can draw the attributes from it tonight. Anything you have need of, God will give it you, if you can only believe it.

L-44 Now, notice. Now, when she come out there, she said, "Lord..." that's what He was, Lord. He... yet He'd...
Why, a lot of them, if it had been the people of today and a minister had been through the congregation of the people and performed a few miracles and went away, and then some people was close friends didn't come, He didn't--wouldn't come. Why, they'd have said, "Say, you hypocrite, I know I oughtn't to left the church in the first place. Why didn't you come?" See, it would've been different.
But she walked to Him and she said, "Lord, if Thou would've been here, my brother would not have died. But even now, whatever You ask God, God will give it to You." Oh, my. Something's got to happen. She went and got Martha, or Mary, 'cause He knowed... Said, "The Master has come and calleth for thee."

L-45 The darkest hour that little family had ever seen, then Jesus come by. Maybe you went to every doctor in the city. This may be your darkest hour. But Jesus has come by. Maybe it's the darkest hour you ever seen, or you ever seen, you, or you. Maybe the doctor's given you up. But Jesus comes along just in the darkest of hour.
It was the darkest hour the Hebrew children, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego had ever seen. They walked right into a fiery furnace. And right in the darkest of hour, then Jesus came along. That's just like Him, isn't it? In the darkest of hour...
It was the darkest hour that little woman had ever seen, that had the blood issue... No way for her to get in the prayer line or nothing, She'd spent all of her money for doctors and none of them could help her. And she had a blood issue for years and years, weakly. Probably sold all the farm tools and everything, poor little thing, setting up there maybe knitting for a living, or something. The darkest hour she ever seen, then Jesus come along.

L-46 One day, yonder in a hospital, when a noted specialist looked in my face as a sinner boy, and told my daddy, standing by me, said, "He's got three minutes to live, Mr. Branham." It was the darkest hour I ever seen. Then Jesus came along. He saved me.
I was wearing big glasses, practically a blind man, had to lead me around by the arms. Then Jesus came along.
He's still Jesus tonight. Just a little story, I'll hurry... Way years ago, way before this ministry was ever made known to me, I went into my mother's house one night to have a prayer. My heart was burdened. And I went into the house to pray. And I said, "Mama, can I go in the front room?" We're very poor people and--and so, we just... I shut the door.
She said, "Yes."
And I said, "Don't let no one disturb me; I want to pray."
