<TITLE>18. Par 68-71</TITLE>L-68 How many knows that the Jews knowed it was the sign of Messiah? Sure they did. When Nathanael come and got... Philip got Nathanael and Nathanael come. And Jesus said, "Behold, an Israelite in whom there's no guile."
Said, "When did You know me, Rabbi?"
Said, "'Fore Philip called you when you were under the tree, I saw you."
He said, "Thou art the Son of God. Thou art the King of Israel."
A witness, right there by the Jews. But of course, the orthodox starchy, those big church members, they said, "That's Beelzebub. He's a fortuneteller."
Jesus said, "You speak that against me, and it'll be forgiven you. But when the Holy Ghost is come and does the same thing, one word against it, it'll never be forgiven in this world, or the world to come."
See how people has got? God's got them on the free moral agency. They can get up and walk out. They can do whatever they want to. But judgment hangs before us all. Now, that's true.

L-69 Now, if Christ is raised from the dead, if He comes here tonight, and with a Divine gift will reach into that audience there, with your prayer... You pray God. Say, "O Jesus, the High Priest of my confession, that can be touched by the feeling of my infirmities..."
Last night we asked you to pray for somebody else. Did He do it? Tell me you who you was praying for? If you did, raise your hands, all over the building, to the newcomers. How many was here last night to see that happen? Raise your hand. All right.
Now, tonight, do whatever you want to. Pray for yourself or pray for somebody else. Just look up to God and say, "Your Bible said that You would do these things. The man tells us and it's in the Bible, the same things that You did. He said that You'd be with us, in us. And He set some in the church to do certain things; prophets, teachers, evangelists, pastors."

L-70 Now, look. He shows me a picture and said it was you. When He was here before, He said that these things would happen, that would come to pass. He didn't--couldn't it then, but He would know the very secrets of the hearts of the people.
Ten years ago when I was here, how many still here tonight remembers I said that would happen? Raise your hand. See? There you are. Now, if that--if that's--if that was of God, it's the truth. If it wasn't of God, it isn't the truth. How did I ever knowed I'd live to see it? Because God said so. That settles it. And here it is.
Now, if He will perform that. God gave Moses two signs. One of them was in his hand; one was another sign to go down and perform before Israel, and they every one believed him when he committed that sign one time. Is that right? They followed him right into the wilderness.

L-71 Now, Christ sent me to prove to you that Jesus Christ is raised from the dead. And I don't want you to follow me; I want you to follow the Holy Spirit. He's the leader that'll take you to the promised land, just as sure as I'm here. He will do it. Now, you believe.
Look this a way. Let's start over here. Someone in this locality, back in here, pray and say, "God, I'm in need. And I want..." Now, somebody without a prayer card, let those that has got prayer cards, we're going to call them up and pray for them here at the platform. Somebody without a prayer card, say, "Lord, I'm in need. I--I'm going to ask You something, Lord. I heard Brother Branham preach this several times. I'm going to ask You, let it--let me, tonight, if I can just touch You. I'm not looking to that preacher. I'm looking to You. And I'm going to ask You, Father, let me touch You. And if You'll let Brother Branham turn right to me and tell me that, that I've asked You in prayer, then I'll know it'll be You."
