<TITLE>18. Par 63-66</TITLE>L-63 Look at Elijah down at Dothan that morning. When Gehazi went out and run back, and said, "Oh, father, master, the whole Syrian army has... We're--we're encamped about with thousands of Syrians; they're all armed."
And old Elijah just as cool as he could be, he said, "There's more with us than there is with them." See?
He said, "Why, we... I don't see nobody but just you and I."
And Elisha knew what was near. He said, "God, open this young man's eyes." And God opened his eyes, and he looked, and around that old prophet was chariots of fire and horses of fire. The mountains was on fire. He understood. But you see, he was blind to that.

L-64 Now, Elijah, the Bible said, walk right out and smote that whole army blind. And how many knows the Bible said that? The whole army was smitten blind. But they didn't lose their sight, he walked out, and he said... They were blind to him. He walked out and said, "Are you all looking for Elijah?"
"Sure, that's who we're looking for."
Said, "Come on; I'll show you where he's at."
They were blind to him. The Bible said, "They were blind." And he led them right into ambush with the--all of the Jewish army and they just encamped them; that's all. And they were blind thinking that he was leading them to Elijah, and they absolutely know him, but they didn't know him then. And men are blind. The world will never see Jesus no more, no matter what He does. And if you die... The word "death" mean "separated." "And the soul that sinneth, it shall die." It shall be separated from the Presence of God forever.

L-65 Now listen, what is sin? Now, this is going to shock you. Smoking cigarettes is not a sin. Stealing's not a sin. Committing adultery is not a sin. "What is sin then, Brother Branham?" Unbelief. Well what is smoking cigarettes, and committing adultery, and lying and stealing? It's the attributes of unbelief. "He that believeth not is condemned already." See? It's... You--you do those thing because you're a unbeliever. If you were a believer, you wouldn't do that. See?
"And the soul that disbelieves, it shall die." Jesus said, "A little while, and the world seeth Me more; yet ye shall see Me. For I'll be with you till the end of the world. The works that I do shall you also." That's His promise. I believe it.

L-66 What prayer cards? G or D? G. The prayer cards are "G," like good, God. G. Was it one to a hundred? Let's start from number 1. G, number 1, raise your hand. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... would there be a minister here tonight, who don't believe in Divine healing? How can you preach the Gospel? I'd like to know how you could do it? Looky here. For instance, what if a big serpent had his... You can say, "Oh, I believe Jesus saves, but not heal."
And now, if a big serpent had his--or big beast had his paw in me, a hurting my side, scratching my side. Now, I don't have to necessary cut the paw off. If I just knock him in the head, it kills the whole body, kills all of his paws, and everything else, if you kill his head. Well, what is the head of sickness? What is the head of worry? What is the head of all is sin. And when you kill sin, you kill the whole thing. You can't preach the Gospel, in no means, without accepting Divine healing. Certainly. You Lutherans know that. You're coming of the rank on it. I'm glad of that for you. Yes, sir. Let the Baptist go on and get cold if they want to. God will move right on off and leave them. That's right.
And you Anglicans, I see you're taking a turn at it too. That's very good. Just keep on. See? Just keep moving on. We're praying for you. Someday, Jesus is going to have a church without spot or wrinkle, and going blast this thing, brother. He's able of these stone to rise children to Abraham, and you, Pentecostals letting it slip through you hands. God is able to rise up Lutherans and others. So you better get to work.
