<TITLE>15. Par 53-55</TITLE>L-53 God, in Christ, was in the fullness. And us, It's just a--just by measure. He had It without measure. See? Now, we just have a... We got a, like a spoonful of water out of the ocean, and He had the whole ocean. But you see, a spoonful of water's got the same chemicals that the whole ocean's got, but just not as much of it.
So, these gifts are put in the Church to bring the Church to God to let you know, to show you what Jesus died for is your personal property. They have first... And the first there is apostle, prophets, teachers, pastors, evangelists, and that's the Church offices. We have pastors, evangelists, and prophets, and so forth in the Church. All these are done. And there's nine spiritual gifts that go into the Church also I Corinthians 12. But those are God-called, elected bodies sent to the Church to bring the Church, keeping unity, and keep the Church in line and in order. We need it.

L-54 Now, if Jesus is the High Priest, and can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities, how would you know you touched Him if He didn't act the same way He did back there? He'd have to act the same way, wouldn't He. Is that right? He'd have to act it, or He--He wouldn't be the same High Priest. But if He acts the same way He did then, then you know you touched the same High Priest that that was.
So now, you without prayer cards, you just start and pray and say, "Lord, that man don't know me. He don't know nothing about me. But let me have faith." Now, don't get worked up, just come quietly to Him, just as reverently, say, "Lord, I believe, and I believe I'll touch Your garment." See if He don't turn right around and tell you just the same as He did that woman. Now that... If He doesn't do that, then I've misrepresented Him to you.
And here, everybody in the prayer line that knows that I do not know you, raise your hands: I know nothing about you, all down along that line know that I don't... How many out in the audience knows that I do not know you, raise your hands. There isn't a person here that I know, out of... I'm sorry to say this. 'Course, some of these ministers I might know if they'd introduce themselves. The only one I really could know of right now is Brother Booth-Clibborn sitting right there (That's right.), and Brother Borders. That's the only person that I see now besides my boy over here in the corner, is the only one that I see in the entire building that I know. But Christ knows every one of you.

L-55 Now, here they are in the prayer line. Now, if there was anything I could do to heal you, I'd do it. If I know that crawling on my knees and pushing a quarter all the way around this city here wi--with my nose would--would heal you, I'd take off to do it. I--I sure would, 'cause if that was God's requirement, I'd sure try it.
But it's not God's requirement. See, God has already sent Christ, and Christ died; He was wounded for your transgressions, with His stripes you were healed. And the thing's settled. See, the thing of it now is for you to believe it. It's your... It's--it's yours.
You say, "I got saved last year, Brother Branham." No. I beg your pardon. You just accepted it last year, you was saved nineteen hundred years ago when He died. See, see, see? No, see, and you're already healed. Every one of you's been healed since back at that time. See, the devil has no legal rights to hold you. He's just a bluff. That's right. Because Christ stripped every legal power he had when He--when He took it away from him at Calvary. You know that. The--the debt was paid completely right there. So, the only thing is just you to believe what He said, and accept it, and hold on to it.
