<TITLE>25. Par -</TITLE>L-38-4 Well, here I am this morning, friends. I'm a very poor servant of the Lord. I--I--I've failed Him so many ways, but I'm ashamed of myself. I--I feel unworthy to--to even minister to His dear sick children. But I--I don't--I don't look to my worthiness, because I have none. I look to what His grace is like. See? It's what--it's what--what He is to me, and what I am to Him. I am His child. He's my Lord. If my hands are not clean, but His are; and I don't minister with mine; I only try to yield myself to Him so He can minister through me. I'm very glad that I've lived in this veil where the things of the world... When they said, "You can't do it. Why, you're crazy. Something went wrong with preacher Branham up there. Look at him. Why, he's gone crazy."

L-38-5 When I had that ministerial meeting over there at the Jewish Hospital, and that group of men setting there, and how they tried to tell me... I said... "Why, you're losing your mind. Why, you can't do that. And you pray for kings?"
I said, "That's what He said."
It didn't make any difference what they said. It did it anyhow. God did it. He never looked at my ignorance. My ignorance could've never produced it. But it wasn't my ignorance; it was His grace; He was the One done it.
In that grace alone I trust this morning as I go pray for this dying woman and for others. Not only... You're God's servant too. The prayer, the effectual fervent prayer, the congregation praying...

L-39-1 Here lays a woman laying on the stretcher here this morning. There's others setting here in a dying condition.
There's a quality, a gift, certainly. That's not even questioned to the world any more after ten years. You could come to this platform, and you couldn't hide your life, if you had to, in the Presence of God. He'd tell you exactly what you was, and what you'd done. I say you know that to be the truth. But that isn't a healing. That isn't the healing. It's the prayer of faith that saves the sick. It's prayer that saves the sick. Certainly. Now, that's what we want to do, is pray for the sick. Now, I want to see you well. I think, "What if that was my mother laying here? What if it's..." It's somebody's mother, perhaps. What if it's my wife setting back there, or somebody else is sick. I'll be sincere. I'll pray.

L-39-3 There's a woman walked in there now, Mrs. Rook, brought in on a stretcher like this woman was brought in, dying with a cancer. Right down here at Jeffersonville, when the--when the meeting was down there at the high school, dying with a cancer. And there she is, never been bothered since, went on and got well. Isn't that marvelous.

L-39-4 Now, I want you to play, sister, "The great Physician Now, is Near, the Sympathizing Jesus."
Now, I want everybody that's going to stay for the meeting now, to quiet down just a minute. Let's pray. I'll call the prayer line in just a moment.
First, I think I'll go down and pray for this woman on the cot so we can have room. I want everybody with your heads bowed. I want everybody to pray sincerely now.
Now, sister, on the cot here, the mother, I'm talking to you now. I want you to have faith now and believe. I want you to believe with all your heart. Now, let's all be in prayer, and reverently, if you will. And I'll call--come back to the platform, after we pray for the woman, and then we'll let the--the people as they take her out, or what--set her to one side. But I want to pray for her first, so she can be out of the way. Can we pray our prayer now?

L-39-8 Our heavenly Father, yes, there is a great Physician. There's a Balm in Gilead. And laying here on the cot this morning, setting here in the seats are Your people, who are setting here suffering. This dark, cloudy world that we're living in... Oh, Eternal God, blessed of the Father, we pray that Your mercy will extend to these people today, and every one of them will be healed. Let them enter in now to the manna. You've got the door open this morning for whosoever will let him come.
