<TITLE>18. Par 69-73</TITLE>L-69 All right. Now, here's a man standing here by me, that... I--I never seen him, I guess, in my life. God knows him, I--I don't. But now what... Somebody might've went and got him out here and brought him over to this meeting. Say they did; say it was this brother, here did. I--I... He might've done it, I don't know. But say he did, and this fellow's name now, would be Philip, and this fellow's name would be Nathanael. And he come up in the line where Jesus was standing. What did Jesus do? See? He just begin to tell him who he was, what about him. And the unbelievers said, "That man's got a devil; He's Beelzebub. He--He... That's--that's spiritualism; that's the devil (See?), Beelzebub, the chief of the devils."
But Nathanael. said, "Thou art the Son of God, the King of Israel."

L-70 Now... And the woman that was in the audience, the blind man at the gate, all along, everywhere, you see... Jesus just... The woman come from the well, and Jesus talked to her a few minutes, and told her where her trouble was, said, "Go, get your husband."
She said, "I don't have any."
Said, "That's right, you got five."
Now, she said, "You must be a prophet." Now, listen close, so you'll be sure to get this. She said, "We know that when Messiah cometh..."
Do you believe Jesus is the Messiah, Jesus Christ, the Messiah waited... Jewish Messiah of God...
She said, "We know when Messiah cometh, He will do these things. But Who are You? You must be a prophet."
He said, "I'm He."
So she goes and tells the people in the city, "Come, see a Man Who revealed my--my past life to...?..."

L-71 Now, He can do... the--the man... The woman come up there, that was her trouble. This man come here; there's some trouble with him, supposingly; I don't know. But God does know. Now, if God will reveal it, will that still be the sign of Messiah, not William Branham, but Messiah? Is that right? Messiah, that's raised and living in us, doing the same thing here, that He did there, isn't that Scripture, just as perfect as it can be?
Oh, it's a little against the school of thought today, but it was a little against the school of thought in that day. Man makes schools of thought of anything, but that don't change God's Word. He brings it right on just the way it's supposed to be. See?

L-72 So many of them missed it in that day. Don't you miss it in your day. Not me now, Him. It's His... It's the day of His visitation, not me, I'm just a poor substitute of anything, but He... But it's--it's Him moving, working. He just give me a way, a gift to yield myself to Him and do these things for your benefit, not for mine, for yours. So it's for you.
Now, the man a stranger, standing here. But if God will--will let me know this man, what--what's wrong with him, or what's something about him that he knows I know nothing about, will every one of you believe with all your heart then? What about you all around here on these stretchers, and cots, and things, you going to believe?

L-73 Now, if I was a healer, you know what I'd do? I'd jump down and heal that little boy, and heal this person here, and heal this person here, and that little boy over there, and this lady here. I'd heal them. Get this lady here, in this wheelchair, and I'd say, "Everybody's got cancer come here let me heal you."
But when a man tells you he can heal you, he's deceiving you to begin with. That's right. Jesus has already did that, and no man can do it again. It's your own, personal faith. Just like a man say he could forgive your sins...?... 
"Why," he'd say, "why, the Bible said, 'He gave them power.'"
