<TITLE>01. Par 1-3</TITLE>57-0630, Thirsting For Life, Philadelphia Church, Chicago, IL, 57 min
L-1 Lord, Thou has permitted us to live in this day to see these great signs and wonders happening by Your hand. And there's no one here any more conscious that it isn't Your servant who knows these things, than I am. It is You, Lord. And by Your promise You promised You would do these things and Thou always keeps Your promise. And to this we're thankful and give Thee praise. Bless us this afternoon in the Word, tonight in the great healing service. We'll praise Thee in Christ's Name. Amen. May be seated.

L-2 I was just trying to think a few moments ago... [Someone adjusts the microphone--Ed.] If you'll set that just as high as you can. I... Anybody ever had the flu? Just a petting my little boy Joseph, I think I must've caught his bad cold and I got a very bad throat. I've got a preacher's throat. I haven't knowed the time in twenty-five years that my throat wasn't constantly red, 'cause I preach, pray for the sick day and night, day in and out, week in and out, month, year in and out. See? And it just keeps me constantly coughing. And so I get a little--little... It'll--it never gets sore. I don't believe I ever did have a sore throat, never did have a throat sore; it's just overtaxed. And then I get cold in there, of course, and it swells up the larynx, and then it being raw it gives the germ a chance to get in.

L-3 I was... Something here... Oh, yes, I was reading a letter. I wished I had brought that; I knew I should do something. Rosella, is she here this afternoon? Rosella Griffin? Yeah. Billy wants to see you and then make that arrangement for you. I was reading your letter just awhile ago. And so they...
This lady came in (She's here somewhere.), in this--this I guess that auditorium right here, this church. And the Holy Spirit told her, said, "Lady, you got cancer." And she had come in here from somewhere, the west. And she said when I walked off the platform, I said... She said to her husband, "Now, that just can't be." Said, "Now, I didn't say nothing when Brother Branham said that," said "but I--I just thought, 'Now, wait a minute. I know...'" And then said, I told her, said, who she was, where she come from, what had been her symptoms, and everything, and said the doctors couldn't find her trouble. But said, "You have cancer." And she doubted that.
And now, I've got the letters. I'll bring them tonight. That'd be a good time tonight. And now she's in the hospital just at the point of death with cancer. See? It was there; the doctor couldn't find it, but the Holy Spirit knew it was there.
Now, now, I don't say this (You see?), but perhaps if she hadn't have doubted that, the story might have been different today (See, see?) if she hadn't have doubted it. You must believe... Now, to me, you don't have to believe me; I'm just a man. But when He says anything, it's the truth (See?); it's the truth.
