<TITLE>08. Par 46-53</TITLE>L-46 Now, in the event that the Holy Spirit, through a Divine gift, would come tonight and do the things that Jesus did when He was here on earth, how many would rejoice to see Him, and would love to see Him, and would accept Him? May the Lord bless you is my prayer.
I'd like to just make this statement. Is there a sinner or a backslider here tonight, would say, "Mr. Branham, if I can see the Lord Jesus perform among this people tonight the same things He did when He was here on earth, I'll be a believer and surrender my life to Him." Would you raise your hand, somewhere all over the building? God bless you. Someone else? All right. Anybody up in the balcony this a way? Say, "If the Lord Jesus will do just as He did in the days gone by, I'll believe Him."

L-47 How many people in here that are borned again and has the Holy Spirit, raise your hands, everywhere in here. Well, I guess it's about a hundred percent all Christians.
All right, we'll call a prayer line and pray. How many here has never been in one of my meetings, let's see, one of my meetings before? There's quite a number. All right. My beloved friends and newcomers, you've come, I'm sure, for what good you could get, and what for your soul, and I pray that God will feed you with manna.

L-48 Now, I cannot heal people. Anyone knows that. I do not claim to do that. And there's no one else can heal people outside of God. You could go and have pneumonia. You'd go to the doctor, and he'd give you penicillin and put you under an oxygen tent. Put another man next to you, and one will die and the other one will live. See? It's not determined whether you do this or that. It's determined by God. God holds your life in His hand.

L-49 When Jesus was here, He did not claim to be a healer. And if Jesus couldn't claim to be a healer, how much more me, a sinner saved by grace, could I be a healer, or any other men. He said, "I do nothing... It's not Me that doeth the works; it's My Father that dwelleth in Me. He shows Me first what to do, and I do what He shows Me to do." St. John 5:19. Now, if He will do that tonight, that's a confirmation that He's alive and here with us. We're going to believe Him.

L-50 And, now, there'll be some come to the platform. I don't get to too many. It weakens me so. The brethren are here to watch. And we got--had many meetings, got many more ahead, the Lord willing. But just if Christ will do those things that He did, just one time, that's enough... That settles it.

L-51 Now, last evening, I believe, I had prayer cards... We called from one to fifty, and some of them got up; some of them wasn't here. Tonight let's call from, I believe it was I, prayer card I. I, let's call from 50 tonight. And who has prayer card I-50, would you raise up your hand? I-50, all right, lady over here. I-51. It's got a little letter. It's just a little square card that's got a letter and a number. I-50, and I-51, who has that one? If you can, if you can't raise up, the ushers will pack you up here. I-51, would you raise your hand? I--I-52. Maybe they're in the balconies. All right. Number, uh, 53, 52, 53. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]

L-52 That has to be like dumb driven cattle... Longfellow's famous "Psalm of Life," said, "Be not like dumb driven cattle. Be a hero in the strife." God doesn't have to just keep using repetitions. He asked us not to use vain repetitions. But when Moses was sent down to deliver the children of Israel, he was given a sign to do: to heal his hand of leprosy, perform a miracle with a stick. And when he did that one time, every Israelite followed him right on. Isn't it strange tonight that it takes so much for us? But God's not willing that any should perish, but that all might come to repentance.

L-53 Now, is it a woman? This... Would you come here, lady? Now, I want to ask you all to be just as reverent. Now, of course, if you want to thank the Lord, praise the Lord for... Well, that's just fine. We want you to too. But try to, just in your heart.
