<TITLE>22. Par 84-86</TITLE>L-84 It was said to me one time by a great theologian; He said, "Brother Branham, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness." Said, "What more could the man do, but believe?"
I said, "That's right."
He said, "Then how could you say that the Holy Spirit's any more then believing, if a man can do no more then to believe unto Eternal Life? Abraham believed."
I said, "That's true. But God recognized his faith when He gave him the seal of circumcision." I said, "Have you ever been... received the Holy Ghost yet since you believed?"
He said, "No, not the way you call it there, like they did in the Bible."
I said, "Then He's never recognized your faith. When He recognizes your faith, He circumcises you by the heart, by entering in by the seal. And you're sealed by the Holy Ghost till the day of your redemption."

L-85 Brother, sister, Jesus Christ is here. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is here. He's the Saviour; He's the Healer; He's--He's all in all. He's just as much Healer as He is Saviour. He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. Do you believe that this is the truth, the Divine approach? Do you believe it? God bless you.
I'm going to ask for those who raised their hands to come to the altar just a minute. But before we do, how many's sick? Let's see your hands go up, sick and wants God to heal you. Just raise your hands. All right.
We have no prayer cards; they didn't give out any today. There might be some stragglings left along. Some of them... We called several from about ten or twelve last night on about twenty something or something. No one come, because (I imagine) they was a little backward. However, we'll give them out again tomorrow. But you don't necessarily have to have a prayer card. How many believes that the Lord Jesus Christ can come down and anoint a person in such a way, that you can touch His garment? How many knows? How many believes with all your heart? How many knows that the Bible says this that "Jesus Christ is a High Priest (right now) that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities." Right now. And how did He...

L-86 Now, do you believe He's the same yesterday, today, and forever? Then if He is the same, and you touch Him tonight, He'd act the same. Is that right? Now, He's everything the same, but His corporal body; it's setting at the right hand of God making intercessions on our confession. You believe that? The Blood, His own Blood, He went as the High Priest to set there. He's one that can be touched.
Now, a little woman one time... Maybe she didn't have a prayer card. But she--she said, "I believe that Man, and if I can touch His garment, I'll be made well." Now, you know the story? He was on the road to raise up from death Zacchaeus' daughter--or Jairus' daughter. So then notice...
Then this little woman pressed through the crowd and she touched His garment. And Jesus turned around and said, "Who touched Me?" (Probably ten times more people then is here tonight.) And said, "Who touched Me?" Nobody said nothing, but Jesus looked around. He said, "I got weak."
Peter said... Why, he rebuked Him. Let's see what... say what Peter said, "Lord, what's come over You? You say, who touched You? Everybody's saying, 'Oh, hello, Reverend. We're sure glad to meet You; glad You're in our city today; nice meeting You. We hear You've been doing great things, Reverend.'" Said, "Everybody's trying to touch You."
He said, "Yeah, I know that. But I... This is a different kind of touch. I got weak; virtue went from Me."
