L-1 ...?... You may be seated, if you will. Noticing many people putting up requests and--for prayer. Now, that's a... We appreciate that very much, because it... The Bible said that they taken from the body of Paul, handkerchiefs and aprons, and unclean spirits went out of people and evil sickness left them, and diseases. And God is still God; He's just as much today as He was in the days of--of Saint Paul. He just doesn't change.
Now, many people take those cloths, and anoint them with oil, and send them to the loved ones. Now, that's--that's just fine. Anything that God blesses, I--I'm right for it, aren't you? Yes, sir. But Scripturally, Paul didn't anoint them; they taken them from his body. Acts 19 said, "They taken from his body, and the--the evil spirits left the people." Now, I'm...
We know that--that Saint Paul... We're not Saint Paul, but He's still Jesus. So then, He's just as much Jesus tonight as He was in the days of Saint Paul. So He just honored the peoples' faith in His servant, and He will do the same for you. The greatest of the miracles that I have ever knowed of being performed, was when the people sent in little prayer cloths--or we sent them to them--and they were healed; send thousands of those weekly all over the world.

L-2 And I remember in South Africa, where we was having a great meeting at a big airfield; they'd let it--let us have it for the meetings. The people... It was in Capetown; there was so many, we had no building to put them in. We had it out on the airfield. And there was a... I think they had... It was around... I forget how many sacks of just these great big burlap sacks full of mail, and--to be prayed over. And I went along praying over this mail.
And one of the reporters said, "Brother Branham is very superstitious." Said, "He was praying over letters to send out to sick people." Well, you see, the--the brother just didn't understand that that's a commission that's been left us of the Scriptures, that we should pray over those things.

L-3 And just a little instance of it, 'cause we want to... Tonight is... are... We have given the service mainly tonight for prayer for the sick. There was a... Sometime ago, I was reading one of the testimonies that returned back. A lady in Germany, she'd been crippled for some seventeen years, setting in a wheelchair.
And when I would send these out, we send little pieces of cloth when they don't send them. 'Cause I used to be able to put a handkerchief in, but when they're going to thousands, and handkerchiefs about fifteen, twenty cents apiece, you can't do it. And so, we just get hundreds of yards of ribbons, and cut them in little pieces, and I pray over each one. If you happen to need one, just send to the office; we--we pray over them and send them out. Then you'll have a little form letter, and people gets up all hours of the night, makes a chain around the world--prayer for the sick.
The Bible said, "We could confess our faults one to another, and pray one for the other." And so we... All around the nation and around the world...
