<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>60-0313, Hear Ye Him, Madison Square Garden, Phoenix, AZ, 101 min
L-1 [Tape begins incompletely--Ed.]... faith shall save the sick and God shall raise them up. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] Would you come forth, brethren, as we could put our hands upon these... I know in this... We always have heard them ask, "Have you anointed those cloths?" Many people anoint them, and it's all right. God blesses it. But if you watch the Scripture, Paul didn't anoint them, but he took from his body. See? So we're going to pray over them now, and you pray with us, each one. Let us bow our heads now for prayer.
Our precious Lord, we stand here tonight in the shadows of Thy mercy, asking as the Church of the living God for these precious cloths that's here, handkerchiefs and little parcels. We ask that You'll bless them, Father, and may whosoever they are laid upon, may the Holy Spirit come on them; may they be healed, delivered from every affliction. We lay our hands by faith as believing brothers and sisters; by faith we do this, while we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-2 Thank you, brethren. You may be seated. I would like to say this: that I have had many meetings in Phoenix that has produced greater crowds, but I have never had a more enjoyable stay. And with the fellowship, that has been one of the greatest I have ever had. We have visited different churches. We come in with the Assemblies of God... And the first time I remember of ever getting to meet in personally, Brother Shores. And I don't say this, him standing here... But when you can hear other ministers of different faiths that would (not just same faith, but of different denominations) speak well of him--good man. That's right. Other men who would disagree with him probably upon doctrine of the Bible and little amateur things, would disagree with him, and yet says, "Brother Branham, that's a godly man." So we're thankful for the cooperation of the Assemblies of God, all out through the city, the different Assemblies and so forth. May the Lord bless them richly.

L-3 While we were here, and we had to come from the Assemblies over here, why we... It's an interdenominational affair. And then I find that there's different groups. And I'm glad that there is different groups. I'm glad that God makes us different. God is a God of variety. He has big mountains and little mountains, and He has... He has deserts and He has swamps. He has white flowers, and blue flowers, and--and red flowers, and He has little bitty men, great big men, and short women, fat women, skinny women, and oh, just all--all different kinds. He's a God of variety. Some red-headed, black-headed, some men with wavy hair, and some with none at all and just... Well, He's just a God of variety. See? He just makes things the way He wants them.

L-4 That's... way I think about... He makes white men, brown men, black men, yellow men; God of variety. See? And we have difference of churches. We have one of one kind and one of another, but we can all be human beings together. The black man can give the white man a blood transfusion. Vice versa, the Indian can give the white man, the white man the Indian; for God made of one blood, all nations. So He made us to be one people.
But just as Solomon's temple was cut out in different parts of the country... But when they come together (they was different kinds of stones), but when it come time for it to be fitted together, they all went stone into stone, no hammers, no saws, forty years in its building. I believe when God gets ready to take the church, we won't be arguing whether we're Methodist, or Baptist, or... whether what we are, it'll just all go together.
