<TITLE>23. Par 87-90</TITLE>L-87 And He looked around over the audience, and He found the little woman. She was scared. Maybe she was setting down; maybe she was standing up. I wasn't there; I don't know. But how ever she was, what position she was in, Jesus looked at her, the power of God in Him connecting with that real faith. He picked her out, told her of a blood issue, and said, "It's stopped. Thy faith has saved thee."
Now what? He never said, "I saved you. I healed you. Your faith..." The Greek word there is "sozo," which means "save" like, "save physically as same as save spiritually." The same word is used every time. Is that right? "Sozo" is the Greek word for both physical or spiritual salvation: "sozo," same word. "Thy faith has saved thee." What was it? The Spirit of God in Him.

L-88 Now, in Him dwelt the Fulness of the Godhead bodily. You believe that? Well, in us is just a spoonful of it, like the great ocean out here, just a spoonful out of the ocean. He had it all without measure; we... The Bible said, "He had the Spirit without measure; we have it by measure." But if I got a spoonful of water out of the ocean, the same chemicals that's in the entire ocean is in that spoonful.
That's the reason that we are today--as Christians--we're in the fellowship. The fellowship and the same Spirit that was in Christ is in His church. If you are Christian, and will believe with all your heart and with faith reach up and touch the High Priest... And to you new converts, that just raised your hands, to show you that you're not deceived, that it's the real Lord Jesus, that He lives today, and just as real as He ever was, you pray.

L-89 I don't know a person in here; I don't see one person that I know, to look in the face of. How many is strangers to me? Raise up your hand, that you know that I don't know nothing about you. All right, the congregation...
I know I've got some people here somewhere, some friends: Brother Fred Sothmann, and--and some more brethren, Brother Dauch, setting right there, and Sister Dauch. I know them, but I--I guess that's the only ones, that I... I don't see even Brother Fred and them; and I know they're here somewhere.
But I don't know you, but God does know you. Now, you repeat your case to Him, and if He's Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever, and if I be His prophet--or His servant... (Excuse me. That word stumbles people.) But if I be His servant, and I can yield myself to the Holy Spirit, He will act through me the same as He did through the Lord Jesus. He will act through you, if you can have the same faith that the woman had. Do you believe that? If He's the same...

L-90 How many knows that that would be God? Then raise your hand, and say, "I believe it would be God." Now, you pray; have faith.
Have you seen the picture of the Angel of the Lord, yet that they've taken? (You have it here, don't you, Gene?) Been taken several times. Now, He's here. I've been preaching on a message of salvation; therefore, just wait a minute--waiting for the anointing to come, wait on the Lord. And you that's sick, just remember and pray. Just have faith.
Say this... Say to the Lord Jesus this way. Say, "Lord Jesus, I've heard that man preach that; I've read that in the Bible. I--I know he doesn't know me; he doesn't know nothing about me. He don't know who I am; he don't know nothing about me. But I know that You know me. And he tells me that You're the same yesterday, today, and forever, only that You use our bodies." God uses our bodies as His adopted children, by the grace of God, to work His works, just like He did through His only begotten Son that paid the price. "Now, speak through Brother Branham to me; tell him tell me something. It'll take all fears and troubles away from me."
If you'll just have faith and just believe with all your heart, God will surely do it. Just pray; look to God; have faith. Now, real reverent...
