<TITLE>06. Par 22-25</TITLE>L-22 In a few moments, the little hunchback come, his little arms hanging down. I said, "Son, I'm going to ask you to do the same thing that other boy I asked him."
And he said, "Well, Brother Branham," said, "we're a poor family." And they was from all the way from Northern British Columbia. Said, "We are out of money, and we've got to go back tomorrow." I said, "Come here, sonny, boy." And putting an arm around the little hunchback, the big lump over his shoulder, with hands laid on the little fellow, just obeying what God said do, to pray for the little fellow, and all of a sudden, I thought something happened under my hand. And as I looked into his little eyes, they were just bright and snappy. And I said, "Didn't something happen?" He said, "Yes, sir, it did." I said, "Raise up your little arms." And there went his arm up, and there wasn't no more hunch on his back than nothing. He was perfectly normal and well.
What was it? The faith that was once delivered unto the saints operating in a child. Certainly.

L-23 There was a blind woman came up. I don't know just how many years she'd been blind. And when praying for her, the boys here has her testimony. But it had been a number of years, they'd led her to the platform just totally blind. Speaking to her of the Lord Jesus Who had healed her way nineteen hundred years ago and asked if she had faith to believe it, she said, "I do."
And when praying for her, her eyes come open on the platform. She walked off the platform, and typed her own testimony, and gave it to me. What was it? The faith that was once delivered to the saints operating in a blind woman.
Now, if... It's no more than what would be right to try to, say, if we are to contend for such a faith, and the faith was once delivered to the saints or the sanctified ones, then, we should go back to the Bible and find out what those sanctified ones did, and what kind of a faith that they had.

L-24 When God called Christ from the grave and He ascended up, Jesus left word to His church to go into all the world and preach the Gospel. "These signs shall follow them that believe." Signs was to follow the church, how far? Unto all the world.
Some people want to limit that faith to a--a creed. Some want to limit it to a denomination. But I say this upon the authority of God's Word: There is no limit to the faith of God that He left for His Church, because He said all things are possible to them that believe. It's not limited.
And it was not just for the disciples. Peter said on the day of Pentecost in the 2nd chapter of Acts, He said, "Repent, every one of you, and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to them that are far off, even as many as the Lord, our God shall call."
And that faith that was once delivered to the saints, as long as God's calling, that faith is ready for the believer if you have--if you'll only receive it.

L-25 Notice, now, Jesus was the One, the center of Christianity. And when He was here on earth...
I've had this week in my office and weeks following or before about just praying for the sick. Some said, "Brother Branham, I believe you've lost your power with God." Well, I had no power to begin with. The only thing I had was the grace of God. And that was given by God. I believe the Bible teaches us that prayer changes things. It's the prayer of faith that saves the sick: prayer.
