<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>57-0305, Divine Love, Madison Square Garden, Phoenix, AZ, 116 min
L-1 As we remain standing, let's bow our heads just a moment in the Presence of God. Our kind heavenly Father, it is indeed with grateful hearts that we bow in Thy Presence to offer to Thee the very adoration of our hearts, to tell Thee of our appreciation of Thy love and kindness to us, and to express that we are unworthy of the blessings that Thou would bestow upon us.
And I pray Thee, heavenly Father, to be merciful to us tonight, to give unto us of Thy grace and blessings. Bless the people. Heal the sick and the needy and save the lost, for we ask it in the Name of Thy beloved Son, the Lord Jesus. Amen. Be seated.

L-2 We are very happy to be in tonight. I'm just a little bit hoarse from over speaking so many services and from place to place. But it always gives us a--a great thrill in our hearts to speak of the blessed Lord Jesus and His goodness.
And we have the rest of this week, the Lord willing. And we want to speak very definitely for the rest of the week, if God will just help me now to have a little voice, upon the coming of the Lord Jesus and the preparation of His Church before the end time.
So tonight, I just want to speak to you for a short time and then pray for the sick and the needy. And one night, perhaps maybe tomorrow night, or one night following, we are going to try by the help of the Lord to have one of the old fashion nights. I don't mean a--a fast line, as we call it, but a line where we can take the individuals and pray for them individually, without discernment, just pray for the people.

L-3 We had one of those nights not long ago up in Lima, Ohio. And oh, how the Lord did honor them prayers for the sick, and the great things that our Lord Jesus did.
Now, I am trying to get the people to believe God on a higher base than that: To accept Him without having anyone touch you. It's you touching Him. You see, if--if I would put my hands on you and pray for you, it seems like then you could say, "Brother Branham laid his hands on me." But, that ain't the idea. I want you to be able to say, "No one touched me, but Him." I--I... That's the way I want it to be done. Give Him the praise.
And there's so much man-made praise today, till it's all right pitiful, isn't it? And the other night, when the little Indian child was healed coming up to the platform, no one touched him, just healed: crossed eyes, you stood and looked at it yourself. Now, that's the way I like to see it happen, just like that. That shows that no one prayed; no one did nothing; but God in His sovereign grace just healed the child. That's good. God gets the praise then. See? I like it like that.

L-4 Brother Sothmann, are you about to burn up down here in Phoenix, after coming from that iceberg of Canada? Brother Fred Sothmann my Canadian manager... If someone wants to see someone who really lives up where it's cold, don't want to embarrass you, Brother Fred, but would you just stand up a moment? Brother Fred Sothmann from Saskatchewan, Canada. The Lord bless you, Brother Fred Sothmann. He is the best fisherman in Canada, when I'm in the United States.
We're fixing to have another meeting up there right away now: comes up in May. We're going through Canada, the Lord willing, and we're have some great times up in Canada with those fine people. Sure got a beautiful place down here though, haven't they? Yes, sir.
