<TITLE>21. Par 79-82</TITLE>L-79 What a challenge. You... I'm sure... Do--do you all understand what a--what that is? If there's anybody here that thinks it's not right, then you come here and do the same thing, I'll step off the platform. Anybody that wants to come here to do the same thing, they're welcome.
It's a quiet audience. Then be reverent, and listen, and pray, and believe. See what's happened? Right now, no matter how much I preach, all of it's wrong if it is... It's--it's a good thing, but will it work?
Someone come to me, a Lutheran college not long ago, and said they wanted to accept the Holy Ghost. Four hundred and something in this Lutheran college has already got the Holy Ghost. They said, "Brother Branham, we've heard all about gifts; we went to someone that wrote a book, and he said, 'I haven't got any of those,' said, 'We... I just wrote about them.'" Sure, you can write about them, but are they real? Sure they're real as God is real; It's His Word.

L-80 Now, be real reverent. Brethren, I want to say one thing. Behind, you men, I've never had a better bunch of believers in my life. God bless you. Pray for me now, 'cause I need it.
Now, all of you out there now without prayer cards, you just look this a way, start praying, start believing, and see what God will do. (That's all right, right there.)

L-81 Now, each one of you in the prayer line that's a stranger to me, I do not know you, raise up your hand, that you know I do not know you. All right. Out in the audience, strangers, raise up your hands, that's sick, I do not know you. There's not a person that I can see in this building that I know tonight in front of me, except my good friend, Brother Julius Stadsklev, setting right here, and his wife, some... Here she is, right over from him, is the only persons out there that I can say that I know that's in the audience. Maybe many might know me, but I don't know them.
Now, just believe. Be real reverent. This will prove...

L-82 Now, here is a woman that I have never seen in my life as far as I know. You raised up your hand that we were strangers. Well, then here's a perfect picture of the Bible, Saint John 4, a man and a woman meeting for their first time. The first time that we have ever met is now. Now, if the Holy Spirit would come here and taken this woman so that you'll see the anointing of the Spirit gets on, then I'm going to just start praying for the people, and let that one go through, until I recuperate from that one, and then catch another one, And then go like we did last night.
Did you like that better than the old way I used to do it? How many like that better than the old way, raise your hands. Used to, I'd just take just one or two, three, or four, five. Just let--go along whatever the Spirit said. Then by that time, I was so weak they'd have to pack me from the platform. But now, I just maybe talk to one till the Spirit reveals, then It goes out into the audience and picks them up all through the audience, and then every once in a while, down along the line again. Well, if... I--I don't know what... It's just a gift of...
Let me say this before I start. It's just the way I have of relaxing myself in the Holy Spirit, and letting Him take over. I don't know what He will do or what He will say. It's a gift. I don't know what, how I do it; I--I just know that He told me, and I believe it.
And I just believe He's standing right here now. And as soon as I just relax myself, He will just take over and start moving. He's never failed me yet, and He won't fail me now, 'cause I believe what He says will be the truth.
