<TITLE>03. Par 9-11</TITLE>L-9 There was nine of us boys. And I--my brother next to me, a great big six footer, weighs about a hundred and ninety pounds, blond-headed, flat nose, square chin. Why, he don't look like me; there's no resemblance at all in us. And there... Why, he likes--he likes to play golf, and--and I--I think that's silly. And I like to hunt, and he thinks that's silly. So me, I like cherry pie and he likes apple pie. We both have our differences; we don't look alike; our nature's not alike; but his father is my father.
If the Branham family could receive him on his peculiarities, and receive me in my peculiarities, then we're brothers. And if God can receive you on your peculiar doctrine, and me on my peculiar doctrine, and give us both the Holy Spirit, we're brothers. That's right, regardless of whatever, we're brothers. And that's the way we have fellowship one with another while the Blood of Jesus Christ, God's Son, cleanses us from all unrighteousness; all sin is taken away.

L-10 Now, in these handkerchiefs, being I have more success with the handkerchiefs, I guess, then anything else, especially with the American people. American people got an idea in their head that somebody has to touch them, or--or do something to them, or lay hands on them. Where they ever got that, just a Jewish tradition. And I'm trying to get you to believe the Gentile way of it. See, the Jews said, "Now, you come lay your hands on my little girl and she will live." Jairus, that was a Jew.
But the Roman said, "I'm not worthy that You'd even come under my house--come under my roof." Said, "I'm a man under authority, and I say to this man, 'Go,' he goeth. Everything under me has to mind me." And he recognized the supreme authority that Jesus had over diseases. He said, "You just speak the Word, and my servant will live."
Now, there you are, that's it. Now, Jesus never said too much about Jairus, only he got what he asked for. He went and laid His hand on the daughter. But He said to these people there that followed; He said, "Now, that's great faith. I haven't found faith like that in Israel." See?

L-11 Now, we want the greater faith. We want to run a higher level. It's not... The Lord Jesus wants us to believe Him. And now, many of you has, in reading the book... And it's just too bad just a few nights running like this tonight to... It--it isn't just to the people. And that's the way all my ministry has always been. In Africa, in India, and different places, one and two and three nights with anywhere from a hundred up to five hundred thousand people. They wouldn't know. About time you get to say--get acquainted, then you have to say good-bye. And that isn't fair to the people.
That's the reason that by a vision the Lord has showed me to get this big tent and stay from four to six weeks in places. Many times people come in that line; they get healed; they go away. I seen people come take the Bible, totally blind, stand there and read it for the first time they'd read since they were maybe, twenty, thirty years. And in two weeks from then be just as blind as they was when they come at the platform the first time, not understanding (See?), don't realize that when the unclean spirits gone out of a man, he walks in dry places; and he comes back with seven other spirits worse than he was. That's what the Bible said. Enters right in, and seven times worse than they was at the first place.
