<TITLE>02. Par 4-5</TITLE>L-4 Just speaking, last night, in the emergency room, there was a little German woman, sent not long ago, and she got a prayer cloth, and on the--the little piece of ribbon. I used to send a handkerchief. But when they got too many, I couldn't do that; so I just get hundreds of yards of ribbon, set down praying over it, send it to the sick and afflicted. And just... A little German woman, she got the instructions, and they interpreted it to her what it was in Germany, how that first you call your pastor. And if your pastor can't come, some good Christian, out of the neighborhood, or some member of your family, confess all your wrongs, if you have any. Pray.
Take this little piece of cloth, and pin it on the underneath garment. Lay your hands upon it, and tell God that you'll serve Him the rest of your life, if He will let you get well. And then, when you do that, then each hour at the old sacrificial hours, at nine o'clock, twelve o'clock, and three in the afternoon, Eastern Standard time, that's when I'm praying at the same time, and we go around the clock. Like that and around the world. And you just... God can't ignore that. All over the world, at the same minute. It's prayers, hundred and hundreds of people blasting forth at one time.
And this little German woman put that upon her, and she called her neighbors, her pastor; she'd had arthritis for twenty something years in a wheelchair. It was kindy cute, and sensitive, but she said, when she put that on there, said, "Now, Mr. Devil, you cannot hold me no longer, so just get out. Here I come." And out of the wheelchair she went, and away she went walking.
Just that simple. It's just that simple, faith is. And what I've taken these nights for, to speak on faith, is because people try to make faith complicated. It--it... God doesn't make it complicated, it's us that makes it complicated. We're going way out there, trying to get something way out there, and here it is right here by us, simple. If you've got faith enough to walk across that floor, you faith enough for anything God promised. If you've got faith enough to raise up your hand, why, you--you've got faith enough for anything else. It's simple faith. Just apply it with the hyssop, that I've told you in the messages. Just take the Blood and by simple faith, just like you eat, drink, walk, drive your car, speak, or anything else, it's just that simple. But when, you go to thinking, "Oh, can I do it? Can I do it?" See? Then you're--you're going plumb away from the--the main thing. You've got to come back here to simple, childlike faith, just to believe God. Say, "God promised it. It's my profession. Christ died for it. And it's mine." And just go right ahead, and believe it, and don't think nothing else about it, just... It's all right. It's all over. And you'll get well.

L-5 Now, I know that is the truth, because I have tried it. But now, if you've got unconfessed sin in your heart, it sure won't work. You've got to confess your sin. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ; accept Him as your Healer, just like you would as your Saviour.
They say, "Is salva... Is Divine healing lasting, Brother Branham?" Just as long as faith is lasting. When you get to a place that you say that you're not saved no more, remember, you're lost your ground right there. When your confession goes down, then your faith goes down.
And now, the first thing that Hebrews says this that Jesus Christ is the High Priest making intercessions upon our confession." And before God could do one thing for you, you have to first, confess that He has done it. He's the High Priest of our... 'Course, the King James says, "professing," and profess and confess is the same word. See? Profess that it is, or confess that He is. See? Profess, I profess I'm a Christian, or confess I'm a Christian. Makes no difference.
And then, and the woman touching His garment, it said, "Thy faith has saved thee."
