<TITLE>12. Par 42-45</TITLE>L-42 And now, when Jesus went to a group of people one time, who said, "Now, we heard He did this over in another city, let me see Him do it here."
The Bible said, "Many mighty works He could not do (Is that right?), because of their unbelief." No matter how great the gift of God is, it'll never manifest till there's somebody to do it, like the woman touching His garment.
We'll pray. And I believe that I've always found... Don't say this because I am standing here; I could just go ahead and bypass it. But I've always found one thing about Canadian people: As a majority, when they promise you something, they'll stick with it. See? They're called royal Canadians, and that's right. They usually stick to their word.
And I believe when you raise your hand to Christ [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]...?... if He would manifest Hisself in the same powers, the same way He did in the days gone by, it would increase your faith as a Christian to believe Him, I trust that sinners will be saved, and whatmore, and God will heal the sick.

L-43 Now, if it comes to say, "Brother Branham, would you heal my baby? Would you do this?" I wished I could. But it doesn't lay in my power to do that. Neither does it lay in any other man's power; that's with God alone.
But what's the meetings to do? Have people come up here, so I lay hands on them? That's not even necessary. It's for you. Not to touch me or I touch you, it's for you to touch Him. Right where you are, just look to Him and say, "Lord, You're the High Priest of my confession. You're the High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of my infirmities. I'm sick tonight, Lord Jesus, I now confess my faith and believe that You healed me nineteen hundred years ago, and I now believe it and accept it." Watch what He will do. He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. He cannot fail.

L-44 Now, tonight, I don't know just what this arena seats, but there's, I'm going to say at least a thousand people in the building. All right, now this--in a few minutes, God, if He doesn't make His Word good, then I'm found a false prophet. But if He makes His Word good, then I've been found to tell the truth.
Now, I have spoken for Him; it's His time to speak whether I have spoke rightly or not. Now, you can see what a predicament we place ourselves. And we ask you to be reverent as you can be for the next few minutes, and we will pray for the sick. And may the Lord bless you, each one.

L-45 Now, we're--we give out some prayer cards. What are the prayer cards for? Now, I'll show you. How many in here is sick and wants God to heal them, raise up your hand? Everybody in the building, anywhere you--no matter balconies, wherever you are, raise your hands, that's got sickness and wants...? Now, who's going to be first? There you are. That's what prayer cards are for. See? It's just a little card with a number on it. You just take the number; and as you're called come to the platform by your number.
And then you that does not have a prayer card tonight, and you want God to heal you, raise up your hand? Does not have a prayer card, everywhere in the building, no matter where you are? See, it's just everywhere. You don't have to have a prayer card; the prayer card has nothing to do with it, just to--to give you a lot and a number to stand here by. Sometimes we call from one place and another. No matter where it's at, we just call a few people up here so that the Presence of God can be known in the audience.
And then when the people realize that Christ is here, that He's not dead, but raised from the dead, and He's the same in principle and power; thousands reach up and accept Him. That's when the healing takes place.
