<TITLE>07. Par 30-33</TITLE>L-30 Now, if you will notice. See? Now, He got weak from one. That woman walked before Him and touched Him and went away. Now, the... That's the same thing as if I was standing on my tiptoes. I'm before... for hours before I come to this meeting, it's fasting and praying. During the time of this, that's the reason I hide myself away from people, don't let no one know where I am. I'm hid away right now in a room.
I been staying with Brother Arganbright, back there. But I'm not even... My wife's not even with me, at all. I stay by myself. I pray constantly and know that He's near. Sometimes in the room, I see that Light come down and stand there. He will tell me, "Watch a certain thing. It's fixing to happen." And God knows that many times, just thousands of...

L-31 Now, when He tells me anything like that, it doesn't bother me. But when I come to the platform, and the--the your own faith pulls that vision... Or setting out there in the audience, you look and you say, "You know there's something, I believe that man's telling the truth." I and... Well, you might just be saying it in your head. But if you're... Really gets down one time, on the heart, you'll see something pull. I'll say maybe some little something, try to explain it. Which I oughtn't to try to do it, because I don't know it myself and don't understand it. Then I know I couldn't explain it 'cause I don't understand it. But 'cause I love you, I try to say something about it.

L-32 And your faith will pull. And I'll look and I'll see maybe someone coming from a hospital or doing something, and I'll speak it. What did it? Then, there I get weak, drop down. What is it? That's you pulling, not from me, but from God, through a earthly channel, God's blessings to you. Do you understand it now? That's what makes me weak.
But now, that's what--reason I stand on my toe. See? "Well, Lord, help me tonight. I'm here. I... Help me now. I--I pray. Bless the people, and there--there's what it, oh... Maybe here's someone standing before me. Never seen him in my life. What about it? What if He walks away from me? I'll walk off the platform. But what if He speaks? Something's got to be said.

L-33 There's critics in every meeting. You can feel it. When the anointing speaks, you can feel that cold indifference. And you know that it's wrong. You know they're doubting. But when it's, you feel that warm welcome, then it flows smoothly. But then when you...
A person is standing there. What is it? I go up on my toes now, like the parable. What... Here's a woman. Oh, if one thing. Lord, if You'll just tell her like You did the woman at the well, one thing that's wrong with her, maybe that'll help. Here goes up. She's standing. I say, "Are you believing?"
"Oh, praise God, Brother Branham. I've got all faith." Yeah. I know it. If you would, you wouldn't be up here. You see? But it's a... Here you are, you're supposed to be up here. And here you are down here because you got hope instead of faith. Faith's positive. See? Faith is the substance of things hoped for (See?), the evidence of things not seen.
Now, when you're up here, I'm down here with you when that's not on me. But then when that's there, He's just using me then. Then I'm--I'm anointed. And here's a Spirit on here that's trying to work through to you to get your spirit to accept what this Spirit's a saying, to elevate your faith to a place to accept Jesus as your Healer (That's right.), not accept it from your mind, accept it from your heart.
