<TITLE>17. Par 52-55</TITLE>L-52 Now, there's scattered prayer cards. There may be some of these, we may not--may get through. But let them stand in the line, that might help them. So you know you give a person a prayer card he's eighty percent healed right then. The boys says when they give someone a prayer card, says they [Brother Branham makes blowing sound--Ed.] That's--that does something (You see?), gets them to believe it. All right, now they're scattered out. Now, remember, before these services close they'll be one night that we will take every prayer card in the building (See?), bring them to the platform, everyone.
Now, how many doesn't have a prayer card and you're sick and you want the Lord to heal you, raise your hand. All right, just believe; that's all you need to do. You have to line them up there a minute? Let's just hum real easy now to ourself while we're making ready for the line.

L-53 Now, remember, is there anybody here for the first time? Oh, my. Thank you. You see, I--I wish they'd all come at one night one time. Is anybody here that's never been in one of my meetings before, let's see your hands. Well, look at that. We're so happy you're here. I--I may have to go through this just a little bit. I'd purposed in my heart to do something else tonight. I purposed in my heart just to bring that prayer line right straight through and pray for them. That's what I was thinking of doing, that's the reason I called that line. I might have to explain this to some of the people, the newcomers then, if you just a minute.

L-54 You see, we believe we're living in the last days. We believe that Jesus Christ promised, when He was on earth, "He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also." He said, "A little while and the world won't see Me no more; yet you'll see Me, for I will be with you even in you, to the end of the world." Now, if we can find out what Jesus was a long time ago, the works that He did, then we can find out the works that He'd do now. Is that right, newcomers?
Now, let's just take just a moment and find out the works that He did. Let's just think. Did He call Hisself a Healer? No. Did He claim to heal? No. He said, "It's not Me that doeth the works, it's My Father that dwelleth in Me." Is that right?

L-55 And when He passed through the--the pool--by the pool of Bethesda. There lay great multitudes of people, lame, halt, blind, withered, waiting for the moving of the water... And Jesus... No, there was one man laying there. He--he wasn't blind, he could walk. But he had some kind of a trouble, maybe it's prostate trouble, or--or tubercular. It was retarded; he'd had it for many--thirty-eight years, I believe. It was not going to kill him. He was laying on a pallet, and He said, "Wilt thou be made whole?"
And he said, "Sir, I have no one to put me in the water." Now, remember, Jesus said He knew the man had been this way a long time. Now, He knew it. Now, He healed him, and walked away, and left that multitude laying there. Is that right? Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever, and did that? He did. Then He was questioned, and what did He say? Now, that's St. John 5:19; now listen at His words, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, the Son can do nothing in Himself, but what He sees the Father doing: that doeth the Son likewise.
