<TITLE>12. Par 110-118</TITLE>L-110 Up here at Cadle Tabernacle, when we had that meeting, that crippled boy that come in there and was prayed for, many of you was there to see him. They brought him back in that emergency room. Billy led me to him. They had him on the platform for three or four nights, there on the--in the building. He didn't get a prayer card, so they put him in the emergency room. I went in there and prayed for him, looked at him. He said, "Mr. Branham, can you tell me some consolation?"
I said, "Yes, sir, son. Polio got you this way."
He said, "That's right."
I said, "Your name is such-and-such. You come from a certain place."
"That's right," he said. He said, "What about my healing?"
I said, "By His stripes you were healed."
He went home, testifying, giving God praise. And he brought such a reproach, they claim, in the neighborhood, until one Sunday a group of ministers come in, and set down by him, and said, "You must stop doing that. You're bringing a reproach upon the cause."

L-113 And the young man setting there, said, "Mister, if you were setting where I am, if you were in the chair that I am setting in, you wouldn't try to rob me of the last hope I got in Christ." Said, "By His stripes I am healed." And he no more than said that... Setting there, paralyzed feet, hands, body, back, and no more than he said that, and out of the chair he went, glorifying God.
What? His natural senses said he'll set there; the doctor said he'll be there forever, or as long as he lives. But the sixth sense said, "By His stripes I am healed." And he wouldn't have nothing to do... It's casting away everything contrary to what God said. That's what the sixth sense is for.

L-115 Old John Rhyn, not the R-y-a-n, R-h-y-n... There was a blind beggar in Fort Wayne, and there where we went that day and he was prayed for in the meeting. That was the night before the piano played "The Great Physician Now Is Near," without anybody by it. And when he was blind... He was Catholic, by faith. And he--he stopped in the line, and I looked at him, and I said, "Your name is so-and-so, John Rhyn."
"Yes."
"You're a beggar on the corner. You've been blind for years."
"Yes, that's right."
"You're a Catholic by faith."
"That's right."
I said, "THUS SAITH THE LORD, you receive your healing."
Said, "Thank you, sir."
I said, "Thank the Lord."
He said, "But I can't see."
I said, "That has nothing to do with it. You are healed."
And he said, he went down along... They helped him off the platform. The natural man couldn't see nothing. They couldn't see no results from that at all. "Why," said, "he's just as blind as he ever was."

L-118 So two of his friends brought him back and put him in the prayer line again, and run him through again; Howard let him pass through. When he come back again, he said, "Mister, you told me I was healed."
I said, "You told me you believed me."
He said, "I do believe you. I have no reasons not to believe you." Said, "You've told me all things in my life," and he said, "I don't know what to do." Said, "There was a woman back there testifying that she had a goiter a few minutes ago, and it's gone away."
I said, "Then if you believe me, why are you questioning me? I'm telling you the Word of God."
He said, "What must I do, sir?" Knowing he was Catholic and had to have something physical that he could hold to, I said, "Just keep testifying, 'By His stripes I am healed,' and give Him praise."
