<TITLE>27. Par 113-116</TITLE>L-113 Is this the lady? Excuse me, come here just a minute. Someone wrote me a little note the other night and said, "Brother Branham, what makes you rub your face so?" Sometimes it feels like your lips are that thick. Then you--you just subconsciously do it. But I want you to believe now with all your heart. I'm your brother, and I declare that Jesus Christ is in His universe, in His Word, in His nature, in His animals, in His people, and He's here now. What more could He do?
He's proved that He's here in the Word, proved that He's here in the universe. He proves that He's here in His people. How it would certainly be sinful for you not to believe. You don't have one thing to stand on at the day of judgment, but just have to walk up there and know that you're condemned and gone.
Now, the lady standing here to me is a stranger to me. Is that right, lady? We're totally strange to one another. I don't know the woman. Now, isn't this a picture again, of the well where our Lord Jesus stood and talked to a woman? Now, I want you to answer me so I can hear the respond, because I can't see too far back at this time. See?

L-114 Jesus stood and talked to a woman one time to find out what her trouble was. How many believes that in Saint John 4, say, "Amen"? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] And He talked to her long enough until He found where her trouble was, and He told her what her trouble was. And she said, "Sir, You must be a prophet." How many knows that's so, say, "Amen." She said, "We know that when Messiah cometh (the Christ), He will do these things, tell us all things. But Who are You?"
He said, "I am He that speaks to you."
She knew that was the sign of the Messiah. And if Messiah is the same yesterday, today, and forever, raised from the dead, wouldn't that be the sign of the Messiah this afternoon? If it is, say, "Amen."
Now, now, if you--if you believe me... Now, He's just... His attitude to this woman will be just His attitude to you. Only the human part becomes so weaken. It--it's a heavenly operation in the human part till it just can't stand it; that's all.

L-115 But now the lady, I think, look at her gray hair, perhaps, a mother. Only God knows how many hard washings has went over that hand, how many times it wiped the tears from a little baby's cheeks, and held it up to your bosom and rocked it. God only knows that. I don't. But, lady, you're here for something. Could I be far from being a deceiver, for you are a believer, a Christian. And how would I stand here as a brother, professing this office in Christ, but what I--I know, sister, here's what He said when the Angel met me, "If you get the people to believe you..." Now, said, "I was born to pray for sick people."
And I said, "They Sir, I'm uneducated; they won't believe me."
Said, "By this they will." Said, "Now, if you can get them to believe you and be sincere when you pray, nothing will stand before that prayer."

L-116 So that... Now, I'd be the last person to try to do something wrong, sister, if I know my heart. And that's why... Looky here, I got to meet these people all in judgment someday. I got to meet you. And I sure I'd be home with my children this afternoon instead of up here trying to be a deceiver. 'Cause what would happen to me? See? I'm... I can only say. The world's all educated, and they don't believe it. No matter... Jesus said they wouldn't, said, "A little while the world won't see Me no more, yet you'll see Me." There's got to be some "ye's."
