<TITLE>03. Par 8-11</TITLE>L-8 May the Lord bless you all. Hearing testimonies... Last evening, I gave a testimony of some brother that met me on the street with a... Told me that his little girl having our eye scratched out. And I come and repeated it right behind him here last night not knowing that he said anything about it.
Billy was telling, I believe, of some couple that he had met that's got a Assembly of God's school, out here. My son went to Waxahachie, Assembly of God's school in Texas, Waxahachie, Texas. And they were...
This girl said many years ago, the woman, the boy's wife, minister, that when she was such a little girl, just a little, tiny tot, that they brought her to Pensacola (I believe it was) where we was having a meeting. And I prayed till I couldn't stand no longer. Many times I'd get so weary. The visions would leave, and I--I'd just have to stand and the ministers would lift my hand and lay it on the people as they passed by.

L-9 And she said she had so many ulcers. So it was thought that she couldn't live. And her mother brought her by, took her hand and laid it over on my hand. Went by, the ulcers left, and she's in just perfect health.
See, it wasn't my hand that done it. That had nothing to do with it. It was the mother's faith, her faith in God.
Jesus said, "It isn't I that doeth the works; it's the Father dwelleth in Me. He doeth the work."
And you'll only get from God the things that you're expecting from God in the way you approach God. You approach Him with reverence, with faith, and every Word is true.

L-10 Now, there's handkerchiefs laying here, I want to pray over. Now, many of you, you know the Scriptures on that. Many times, ministers anoint those handkerchiefs with oil and send them to the people. That's perfectly all right. I believe that anything the Lord Jesus will bless, I'm just for it.
But Scripturally in the Bible, Paul didn't anoint the handkerchiefs. They taken from his body handkerchiefs and aprons. I believe Paul was a fundamentalist. You know where I think he got that in the Scripture? When Elisha sent, or Elijah, sent the staff with his servant, Gehazi, and said, "Lay it on the baby."
Elijah knew that everything that he touched was blessed. And so he had the staff that he'd--he'd walked with. He said, "Go lay that on the baby."
But the woman's faith wasn't in the staff; it was in the prophet. So she wouldn't leave until the prophet laid his own body on the baby, and the baby come to life. It depends on where your faith lays. But in the handkerchiefs...

L-11 I remember in South Africa in the last trip at Capetown. And I was there. And I believe there was ten or fourteen of sack-fulls of handkerchiefs and letters in this great, what we call, grass sacks, burlap sacks. And the writer of the paper said, "Brother Branham is superstitious. He was praying over handkerchiefs." Just not knowing the Scripture, of course.
