<TITLE>17. Par 67-70</TITLE>L-67 [Brother Branham coughs--Ed.] I've been so hoarse, not from cold, but from just over speaking so much, four months straight. We leave right from here to Alaska. [Coughs again--Ed.]
Now, beloved friends, maybe tomorrow, I'll--I'll finish my text or either take a new one and just let the preachers finish that while I'm gone.
But do you love Him and believe Him? Is all the scare gone now? Look. You're Christians. How many Christians are here tonight? All of you, now, that's Christians. Here look that them hands that wasn't a few minutes ago, now they're up. Oh, praise God. Now, you're Christians. Now, you got Eternal Life. Now, you're the seed of Abraham. Now, you're secured with the Church. "Those who He has called," the Bible said, "He has justified." Is that right? Those who He called and they responded, He justified them. And those who He justified, He has already glorified. Your position is waiting for you in glory when you get there. Isn't it wonderful? No scare about it. No this, that, or the other, you're already in God's sight, glorified just as much as Jesus was slain from the foundation of the world, the Lamb of God. When God spoke it, it had to be so.

L-68 Listen, can you get that? When God accepted you a few minutes ago as a sinner with His Word that He accepted it, if you would witness, why, He would witness for you. He can never go back on that Word. Amen.
Now, you can mess your life up, backslide and go out and go die out of this world young, and a lot of things can happen to you, but for God taking His Word back, He can't. "He that heareth My Word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath Everlasting Life, and shall not come into condemnation (never), but's passed from death to Life." That's what He said, Saint John 5:24. Isn't it wonderful? Now, that's the same Words that says in the Bible, that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

L-69 I want to ask you something now, to you young converts, to you newcomers. If Jesus has raised from the dead, and if He is the same, the Bible said, that He is the same. Do you believe He is the same? Say, "Amen." [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Because the Bible said so. Then what... How is He the same? He's got to be the same in principle; He's got to be the same in power; He's got to be the same in works; He's got to be the same in attitude; He's got to be the same in every way that He was then, so has He got to be now. He's got to manifest Hisself in the same way, and He will do it; He promised to do it.
Now, did Jesus say He was a healer? No. Said, "It's not Me that doeth the works; it's My Father dwelleth in Me."

L-70 Saint John 19, when He passed through the--the pool of Bethesda, Saint John 5:19, rather, 5th chapter of John, passed through the pool and all those crippled and withered people, thousands of them laying there, He never healed a one of them, went and found a man laying on a pallet... The Lord showed Him, or God showed Him where it was at, healed that man, walked away and left the rest of them.
The Jews questioned Him. He said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you; the Son can do nothing in Himself, but what He sees the Father doing. What the Father does, that doeth the Son likewise. The Father worketh; I worketh hitherto."
