<TITLE>15. Par 57-60</TITLE>L-57 Now, remember, this is not me. The Holy Spirit... Now, if it happens, you're going to take your opinion. There's only two things you can say it will take it--that'll do it. It has to be supernatural, 'cause I don't know the lady; she doesn't know me. And we've met for the first time. Just that you see that God still got the Balm in Gilead. If Jesus is raised from the dead and works through His Church, then let Him work through His Church now. See? See, it's God's Word. It's not my word at stake; it's His Word at stake. He was the One made the promise, not me.
Then there's two things you can say: You can take the critics condition and say It was an evil spirit that did it. If you do, you'll never be forgiven in this world nor the world to come, said Jesus. If you believe It's God, then you can have what you ask for.

L-58 Now, I don't even know that you're sick. But imagine you are. And if I come and said, "Well, she's in the prayer line because she's sick." And I'd say, "Lady, I'm going to lay my hands on you. You go and you'll get well." That's true (See?), because God give that permission. "They'll lay hands on the sick; they shall recover." But you'd still question about my sermon, Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever. You could still question, "Is that Word right? Could It be right?" But now, if He comes and anoints me, and performs the same thing here, let's me know something that's in your heart, what you're here for, or something about that you know I know nothing about, then you know, that would have to be the Messiah. Would you believe It was? Would you be like the woman at Samaria, would go tell your people, "Come, see a Man that told me the..." Not me now, Brother Branham, your brother, but that the Lord Jesus has raised from the dead and working through His Church? Would you believe that? The audience has said they would. May the Lord grant it, my prayer.

L-59 Now, I'm talking to you just like Jesus talked to the woman. He said, "Bring Me a drink." I said, "Come here." See, we're just talking as Jesus and the woman talked. And I perceive that you are a Christian; you're a believer. That's right. Because as your spirit begins to move, I... Now, you could have been a critic or an unbeliever. See? But your spirit begin to feel welcome. Did you ever see that picture of the Angel of the Lord they have in...
Oh, hundreds have seen it, haven't you folks. Now, you that's seen that picture, that Light's standing between me and the woman now. You're looking at that. She--you've seen It. See it? All right, the lady suffers with a stomach trouble. If that's right, raise your hand. Now, do you believe?

L-60 Now, you might say, "Brother Branham, you guessed that from that woman." Well, we'll see if it was a guess. Let the Holy Spirit... 'cause she's a Christian, let it be said that--that it wasn't a guess.
She's got something on her heart, someone she's praying for. That's your mother. That's your mother. She's not here. She's not even in this country. She's from Ohio. That's right. And she's suffering with a gallbladder trouble. That's right. You're not from here. You're from Waukegan, Illinois. Your name is Mrs. Payne. Go home. You have received what you asked for. Your faith has made you whole. See? Thou canst believe...
