<TITLE>02. Par 5-8</TITLE>L-5 Heal the sick and afflicted, Lord, as they're laying here in masses waiting, some standing sick, mothers working with their little babies, O God, send the Holy Ghost with great power and move with compassion and heal the sick and afflicted. Help us as we open the Word, and let us fellowship now around the Word, for we ask it in the Name of Thy beloved Son, the Lord Jesus. Amen.

L-6 Over in the Book of Saint Matthew. I wish to talk just a little tonight from the Scriptures, and I trust that God will bless the reading of the Word. [Brother Branham talks to a brother--Ed.] Oh yes, I was wondering last night; I was twisting down here about... Thank you, Brother Rufull. That's mighty fine. Thank you very much. I'm not too big, and I haven't got too much voice, so this thing has to be voice for me. But did you notice, here's a sermon in itself. That thing is a mute; it cannot speak unless there's something behind it to speak in it. See? You know what I'm talking about. There's nothing to us; it's something behind us.

L-7 Now, in the Book of the 17th chapter of Saint Matthew's we read this just for a way of--of Scripture reading to get a little context to base our thoughts. And quickly, we are watching the clock there, and I want the prayer line started by nine or before so you can get out and go to church tomorrow and--and serve the Lord.
 After six days Jesus taken Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into an high mountain apart,
 And was transfigured before them: and His face did shine as the sun, and His raiment... white as the light.
 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias speaking unto Him.
 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it's good for us to be here: if Thou will, let us make Thee three tabernacles; one for Thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud over shadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
And for a text, as it would call it, I want to take the text of, "Hear Ye Him." After all He's the voice of authority. God Himself witnessed so at this time, "Hear ye Him." There many voices in the world today; there's many things going on, many doctrines, many isms; but hear ye Him, He's the voice of final authority. He's the One that'll speak. He's the One that said, "The heavens and earth will pass away, but My word shall never fail." So hear ye Him; He's the one to listen to.

L-8 Now, Christ meets with man in different councils. Sometimes He meets with man in great numbers. Sometimes He meets with men in small numbers. The numbers doesn't mean whether Christ is there or not; it's the attitude of the people that's in the number what determines it.
You can take an egg that a hen is supposed to set on to hatch it, and you put the egg in a incubator where it's just warm light, that incubator will hatch the egg just the same as the chick--or the hen will itself. Because it's the--it's the atmosphere that does the hatching. And it's the same thing in a meeting of this type. It could be possible tonight, and also probable it will be, that there could be a--a hour, of this next hour on that clock, that there wouldn't be one sinner or backslider left in here without being right with God. It could be that every sick and afflicted person could be made well and go out of here glorifying God. This could break into a--a repeat of Pentecost if the atmosphere gets right. See? The atmosphere to bring such results would be the Holy Spirit. If He can get every heart in one accord, then He could just move masses and heal the people, save the people, or whatever. He has died to redeem them, and every redemptive blessing belongs to the individual. I want you to believe that, Christian.
