L-1 Baptismal service... I believe they have the pool filled up and communion and foot washing. How many people in here ever was at a foot washing? Let's see our hands. Oh, my, look at the Baptists that's--that's in here this morning. You know they say, "The foot-wash Baptists," and thing though when I used to go to the foot-wash Baptists, they only wash one feet, just one foot, and now here we wash both feet. So we have a double blessing. You see? So that have two blessings than one. If it's a blessing to wash one foot, you ought to try both one time. The foot-wash Baptists...
[A brother speaks to Brother Branham--Ed.] Well, it depends on what kind of service we have this morning. That's right. We don't know just what it will be tonight, because we... Of how the service is this morning.

L-2 I kind of tired. We just come from Mexico where I had one of most marvelous meetings we've ever had, and I know many of you are interested to hear of it so I... Well, we was down there for three nights, had three nights of service and the... Our blessed Redeemer certainly did do the exceeding abundantly down there. The last night we had twenty thousand people that had never come to Christ in any manner, received Jesus as personal Saviour at one time: twenty thousand at one time.
A resurrection of a little baby had died in its mother's arms while standing on the ground, and the doctor had said day before it was going to die, and she'd brought it to the meeting to be prayed for, and the people were standing like they are around here.
Now, you think it's pretty bad here, for we Americans have to stand an hour, but they would come in sometimes at six o'clock at morning and stand till eleven that night, and it was so jammed together till they estimated how much ground we had for them to stand on, and they were standing six people every three square feet, six people just standing jammed together leaning against each other.

L-3 I said it reminded me of sheep. You know when the heat of the day is on, the sheep all get together, and they stand against another, and they make shade for each other, and they support each other. So that's the way the sheep of God should do. Kind of stand together so it places and support one another with our faith.
Now, every person in your own way of praying... Whichever way you pray at your church, you pray this morning, and we're going to read some of God's Word, and because of those who are standing, as we come up they was just turning the people away and away and said they'd been turning them away for quite a long time. So now, we're going to be real quick and speak on the Word so you can have a ground for faith, and then after that then we're going to pray for the sick the way the Lord will.

L-4 I've been wanting to have our first opening service to take the people the way the vision had just showed. But I don't know whether I'm going to be able to do that or not. The rooms are jammed full in there... to get them away from the public. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] Trust that you'll try to hold on just for a little while and pray.
Now, the first thing, I believe that all doctrine must come from God's eternal blessed Word, for faith cannot rest upon the shifting sands of theology of man. It must be based upon the unmovable Rock of God's Word. Therefore, a person can rest assure that if God has said it, God will perform what He said.

L-5 In the message this morning we were talking on how that God before, perhaps ten thousand years before there was ever a world, Jesus Christ was slain before the foundation of the world. God spoke It, and that settled It. As long as God speaks It, that makes It right. And in God's mind when He speaks the Word, It's already confirmed in heaven. That's how perfect It is up There. So how much ought we mortals who have been redeemed by His grace trust His Word. If His Word said so, that settles It.
