<TITLE>13. Par 49-52</TITLE>L-49 What is it? What makes you long that? This is a shadow. If this earthly tabernacle be dissolved, we have one already waiting for us. We go into that youthful place to never, never be old again. How beautiful. That's what makes us call, the deep calling to the deep. There's something there that makes us long and what is it? It's that body waiting there. We groan here to be clothed upon, where I can shake your hand and you'll never be old. You'll never set in a wheelchair, Brother Dawson. Where you'll never be blind, my brother, where life will be real, where life is life... How could we turn such an invitation down? Think that someday, someday, we're going to snap back and go to be with Him. I--I know that's truth. Christ is here; He's raised from the dead.

L-50 I don't think we have time yet to call a big prayer line. I'm just going to pray for you from here. I want every one of you to be willing.
Here a few days ago, a woman run up to me and she said, "Mr. Branham," she said, "my mother's right out here; she's sick." It was hundreds and hundreds of people congregated. I said, "I couldn't get to her, sister, like that. I couldn't get through the mob. Take my hanky here and go lay it on her." And she bawled me out for not going. No wonder her mother didn't get healed. You can't do it like that. See?
It isn't nothing that I've got to give you; it's something that God already has given you. You just got to receive it. I'm just a testimony of His. I'm a testimony of His resurrection. He's here. The only thing you have to have is faith to believe it.

L-51 Now, if the Lord Jesus has raised from the dead and in His audiences He stood, when you can look upon the audience, and they would touched Him by the feelings of their infirmities, He would turn and say, "Who touched Me?" He look around over the audience till He found who it was, tell them what had happened. He knowed where a man was under a tree. He knowed a man's name that come to Him, knowed his daddy's name, knowed his Christian name. And if Christ is raised from the dead, the Bible said, "He's the High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities."
Now, listen to me just a moment. Christ is in this building now. Christ is in you just now, you believers. Christ was in Joseph, did you see how it made him act? Christ was in Elijah. Christ was in David. Look at David, rejected, dethroned with his own people, rejected as king in Jerusalem, went up to the mount of Olives and looked back, weeping. Eight hundred years the Son of David set on the same mountain, rejected, and wept, "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, how oft would I have gathered you." See, It's Christ.

L-52 Now, if it's Christ in you, Christ will recognize Christ. "My sheep know My voice; a stranger they will not follow." Now, if... God knows that I know none of you here. There's not a person outside of my dear Brother Dawson setting here that I know in this building in front of me. But Christ knows you all. And if "He's the High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities," if He will confirm that, and He said, "The things that I do shall you also." He proved it and the Jews believed Him (the real Jew), the church didn't believe Him; they never did; they never will; they don't yet. The so-called church, the ecclesiastical system, they never believed Him; they don't yet; and they never will. Now, that's awful. You say, "Brother Branham, you're so rude." No I'm not, brother, sister, dear. I'm telling the truth.
