L-1 ...Believe,
All things are possible,
Lord, I believe.
Let us bow our heads just a moment. Our kind heavenly Father, we are grateful to Thee, the Almighty God, for giving us the privilege to come together again, assembling ourselves to worship Thee in Spirit and in Truth.
And, O God, we pray tonight that the Holy Spirit will take the Word and will give it to every heart just as we have need. Save the lost and bring back to the fold the wandering, and heal the sick, and we'll give Thee the praise. For we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen. Be seated.
We are trusting God for great things this week and the coming week. And trying now, by the help of the Lord, to just speak to you the best that I can under difficult. I've got a bad throat.
Last week I was in Minneapolis, or the week before last rather, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and it was around zero to ten below and--and coming out of the building, real hot, well, then I would, the wind would hit me and I developed, I don't know whether it's a strained throat, or whether I have a little cold.

L-2 And then another thing that's kinda slowed me up, I'm getting old and decrepit I suppose. I had a tooth to come out in front, and they had to put a wire on it, a--a store tooth to hold it in. And in that I--my tongue hits the wire, and I'm-- it slowed me up a bit. But you'll bear with me I'm sure. The Lord bless you.
Oh, it's such a privilege to talk about the Lord Jesus and to worship Him, and to come together with this fine group of men. As I just learned today that there's some twenty-two churches in sponsor of this meeting. And I am certainly grateful to this ministerial group of Phoenix, Arizona, for inviting us to your lovely city.
And I am sure that in here, in coming I have come to do good and to everything that I can to help to make it a better, or not a better, yes, a better, a better situation, a better--a better flow of the Spirit. And the words, the thing that I'm trying to say is this, a full cooperation among all the churches of the living God. That is one of the greatest things.

L-3 Now, this week I am trying to put my time in preaching or to the--or for on healing. And next week, if the Lord willing, I want to preach on a greater healing, a healing in a higher standard; that's the healing of the body of the Lord Jesus, His broken body. On the Word... And us together as brethren and how that the fellowship of the great church of the living God, the Lord willing...
'Course we'll be praying for the sick just the same, but this week I'm trying to hold on the subject of physical healing. And if God willing, either tomorrow night or Sunday night, I want to bring the people to the platform and pray for them just as they come without the discernment.

L-4 A few weeks ago I was in Lima, Ohio, and a Mr. Vayle, Dr. Lee Vayle, great man in the Baptist association, and he come to the platform and he said to me... Or I beg your pardon, he came to my motel room and said, "Brother Branham, when I come to your meeting over in Vancouver, British Columbia, long ago, I noticed that you would just stop the people when they needed to be stopped. See? Those who had sinned and done things wrong under the discernment you picked it up. The rest of them you prayed." And said, "I attended the meeting, and I never seen one person come across the platform, but what was helped by prayer while you were praying."
So I just turned and had a night of that. And you know, the Lord Jesus just worked so wonderfully with us. The very first woman come to the platform had braces on, on her back.
