<TITLE>14. Par 36-38</TITLE>L-36 Lord bless you, my dear people. Now I'm going to ask you a solemn thing. I am undertaking something here from this platform tonight, that I have never did before. It is a revelation that come recently. And now, as it unfolds, I gave it a little try last night to see if I could snap from the discernment as I brought the people to the platform one by one. How many was here last night and seen and believe? Across the nation, if I should die this night, my testimony of Christ is truth.
The first thing... The Christian world knows it; the Bible teaches it; the Bible promises it; so the Christian world knows it. And right here, humbly saying it, that picture baffled the whole scientific world; they know it. There is the picture of the same Angel of God that led the children of Israel: the Pillar of Fire. And His Presence is here, not me, but Him. Wasn't Moses, but it was Christ. Now it's up to you. I've laid every bit of it right on the Scripture. Now I'm asking God, tonight...

L-37 It's always been a strange thing. Manager after manager has even quit me, because that he'd say, "Brother Branham, the people go away and are not prayed for."
I said, "Well, Brother, in the meetings overseas..."
"But, Oh, Brother Branham, you're not overseas."
I said, "Pass them through and I'll pray for them."
If you do that, they say, "Nothing was said to me." See? "No anointing. I wasn't prayed for."
And oh, my office is crowded... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] ...and you just feel like going overseas and staying till Jesus comes. But yet the other day, the Lord, by His grace, gave me revelation. I've tried to just take two or three here on the platform, pray for them. I say, "All right, now the rest of them, I'll just pray for them. Let them come by and I'll pray for them." That's what He told me to do, but I've never been able to do it. When I'd have discernment, and catch one, two, then it's on me; just might as well stay with it. But He promised me. How many knows that's true? They seen me try it after an hour after hour and fail, because when the anointing strikes it was there. But the other day in Maine, with Leo and Gene, He promised me that I could do it. And that's why tonight, I am standing solemnly on what He promised.
Last night, did you notice, after discernment was over, something said to me, "Now, you're weary. You must leave." And Billy come to take me out. Then something in my heart said, "Stand there. Dismiss that church." In a few moments it was over and I was dismissing the church, went away feeling fine instead of weak. So the Lord has promised me and I know He'll do it.

L-38 Now, I want to know how many in the meeting here tonight, does not have a prayer card and wants to be prayed for, raise up your hands. I want those who does not have prayer cards. All right.
Now, I want to ask you something. Jesus Christ, the Bible said, is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Is that right? St. John... That was--was Hebrews 13:8. In St. John 14:7 He said, "He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he also."
Then a woman passed through the crowd once, and touched His garment, and went off, and set down. The multitude was thronging Him; He said, "Who touched Me?"
And even Peter rebuked Him, said, "Well, Lord, the whole multitude's touching You."
He said, "But I got weak; virtue went from Me." Strength went from the Son of God by one woman touching. Then people wonder why you don't stand there hour after hour. Well, you couldn't do it, certainly not.
