L-1 We're certainly a privileged people to be here this morning, be alive on the earth, to see another great time of Easter. Easter always brings such a--a glorious thing to us, the new hopes. And--and how great.
And just as I walked into the room back there this morning, someone met me and said, "Brother Branham, you know the--the little baby, or little child or someone, was prayed for at the Chautauqua last year, that had to have its heart removed, and valves or something fixed on it," Said, "the baby was healed and in the building this morning, that--and is sitting here this morning." So that's fine, we'll have the little testimony from it just maybe before we strike the other service. And we're just a happy people.

L-3 Now, I'll ask Brother Neville if he'll get the Scripture reading of Matthew or Luke, one, of the resurrection, if you haven't already read it. Have you, brother? [Brother Neville says, "No."--Ed.] So while we're making ready for prayer...
And now following this service, will be the healing service. After this service is over, then you go to your breakfast. Then after that, we'll return again at nine-thirty and begin another service. And then healing services will follow that. And then baptismal services will follow that.

L-5 And what a beautiful time it is for baptism. Oh, my. The resurrection, that's why we are baptized, because that He raised again.
I remember before we got our baptistery here, I used to take them down on the river down here, early, cool frosty-like mornings, and baptize the people down there on the river. There's something about it that just is a sacred time. Easter, it's a great time.
I was looking at Brother Pat Tyler sitting over here. I was just talking to someone last night. That our last meeting in Oklahoma, I tried to, trying now (and I'll announce this) to lay aside until God would call me to do it, my old ministry of discernment, because I think beginning, it's the-- the new ministry is coming in.
The other night, no one knowing nothing about it, I tested it on a child coming across the platform, had been borned blind, a baby, and was totally blind, about a sixteen-year-old boy. And just immediately he let a scream out, "Brother Branham, I can see." And there, and Pat Tyler standing near, right by the boy, when his eyes come open for the first time in all of his life. And so I trust that you here, with great anticipations, with myself, I'm looking for something God to do for us, and bring us up to another level than what we have been. Let us bow our heads now for prayer.

L-9 Our gracious heavenly Father, as we have gathered this morning, here in the little church by the side of the road, we are grateful indeed for Thee, for all this means to us, and especially on this Easter morning. If there had not been an Easter, we would've not been in the condition we are today. But that Easter is what sealed all of God's promises. It confirmed them to us. Everything that He ever promised, it was all made a reality on Easter. One of the greatest days of celebrations that we can have in the year. And we would ask, Lord, today, that You will comfort our hearts as we sit, waiting, and under anticipations for the Holy Spirit, Who came after Easter, to come upon our hearts and to comfort us, and to restore our faith in great powerful measures, that we might walk the life that Jesus has ordained for us to walk.
