<TITLE>16. Par 57-61</TITLE>L-57 God grant it to you. All right now , let's while they're waiting for them to come. I see two more man coming that--that may be someone who will--that's come in, was out in the--one of the rooms or something. I think we're all about... Where would you stop at, fifteen? See there if you get that many lined up anyhow.
All right, how many believes that the Lord Jesus remains the same yesterday, today, and forever? He's right here. The only difference in Him, He doesn't have a corporal body.
And how many believes that He said, "I am the vine, ye are the branches." Now, the vine doesn't bear fruit; the branch bears fruit. And the only hands that He has tonight is our hands. Only eyes He has is our eyes. And He's here in the form of the Pillar of Fire, the resurrected Christ. How many believes that's so, say, "Amen." [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] That's what the Scripture says. The same Lord Jesus, the same yesterday, today, and forever, He never...
What say? All right, my son said that all prayer cards has app--has appeared but what? Three and five. Prayer cards three and five. All they way back in the hall back there? I see a group of people back there with... They come in a little late, and then they say, "Well, my card was called and nobody told me." You've looked around everybody's card, and they're all right. Okay.

L-58 That's good, sister. That's right, look around. That's good. All right. Now, let us quieten down just a moment now, and pray. All right, real reverent. Now, do you see where I'm standing? If anyone wishes to take my place, I--I'll walk away from the platform. I'd be glad to surrender it to any brother that wants to come, and thinks that it's not real, and can do the same thing. Come.
It's a gift. It's a gift sent from God. To what? To make the people see that Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Now, it doesn't take many people. One ought to settle it. How many believes that one, firmly proved... When Moses went down in Egypt, he performed that sign one time before Israel, and they marched out with him. You know that's right. Every time he met an Israelite, he'd say, "Look here, watch my hand. Leprosy, healed." No, no, he did it once and that was enough. All of them believed him. But God's a good God.

L-59 Now, here's a lady standing here that I do not know. The woman, as far as I know, is a--is just absolutely... I just don't know her. We're strangers, I suppose. Is that right, lady? She's been at another place in one of my meetings, but she said she doesn't know me and I don't know her.
Just being in a meeting like... Someone come say, "I was in--in this city." And we'd be in New York, and you set way back up in the balcony or somewhere. How would I know who you were. And besides if I knew you ever so much, God reveals secrets that nobody but you and Him knows.

L-60 Now if I said to the lady... She might be a--she might be a stranger. She could be an atheist. She could be a critic. If she is, watch what happens.

L-61 How many was at the Windsor meeting to see that critic, that preacher? They packed him out paralyzed, and he's still paralyzed. Come on the platform, thought it was some kind of a psychology, and wrote on his card that it was such and such and such. Come up on the platform, the Holy Spirit said, "You are lying. You put on your prayer card down there a certain thing. You put TB and all this stuff on there. Now, because you've done it... You're a certain denominational church." Called who he was, and I said,"Last night you set with your wife, and that man there with the red tie on, set with you at a table with a green thing pulled over the table." And I said, "Now, what you put on your prayer card, you have." And this man run down there, so I...
Said, "God be merciful, Brother Branham, that is the truth." They took him out paralyzed, and he's still paralyzed.
