<TITLE>03. Par 6-9</TITLE>L-6 Now, these Greek scholars here, would tell you, that that word there in the Greek is "Sozo," which means just exactly "like saved physically or saved spiritually." Same in translation. So "Sozo," thy faith has "sozo," saved thee. Thy faith saves thee from hell. They faith saves thee from death. Thy faith saved thee from sickness. See? It's "Sozo," the same word. So the same faith that you have in God for your salvation, is the same faith you use for your healing. Just simple; believe it; act upon it. Doesn't take any sensations; it doesn't take anything in the world, but just common faith. You don't have to feel nothing. You don't have to... Only thing you have to do is believe something, believe that Jesus died that you might be saved, and it's yours. Faith is so simple.

L-7 The other day, there was some... I was walking around, and there was a--some minister setting out under a tree. The Holy Spirit said to me, "Go talk to him." And I went over there, and his wife come out, and a group of people that had been here; and they couldn't get a prayer card, and didn't know there was an emergency room; they had to go back. See the grace of God?
And then, well, while I was there, the Holy Spirit came down, and begin to reveal all kinds of things. And them people begin weeping and going on. I said, "You brought an Indian with you, where's that at?" And so I said, "The Indian's a little girl, and she had a fever and it paralyzed her brain."
And that man begin to weep. He was a missionary to the Indians. And he said... I said, "Get the girl; we'll pray for her." And I said, "Her father hasn't got money to stay another night."
That's what hurts me. I wonder how it ever happened. I--I--I'm going have to change doing what I'm doing, because I don't get in contact with enough of the people through these visions.

L-8 The people in America, we been taught too long, we must lay hands on one another. And really, that's exactly what my calling was to do. The Angel of the Lord told me, I was born to pray for sick people. It was me that questioned, then He said, "By these signs, it would cause them to believe."
I said, "They wouldn't believe me. I'm uneducated, and they wouldn't believe me."
He said, "By this they have to believe, 'cause you'll know the very thoughts of their heart."
Many times, I wished sometimes I'd had something else. For many times I stand before people, that's put their hands on my back, and call me brother, and I know that's wrong. See? I've stood with--even with people that stay, and say, "Oh, Brother Branham, I've got the Holy Ghost," and things like that. And know living with another man's wife, or some other woman's husband... Stand and have to swallow that when you know different, cuts and hurts. Don't never covet it; don't never want it. You don't know what goes with it. See?

L-9 A good friend of mine, we was just setting at a table, a minister. And I'd wrote to him, and he was a fine man. I met him, and I was just setting at a table eating one day, and down in Louisiana, something happened. I looked across the table, and I wished I would not have done it. It's hurt me ever since. If I just wouldn't have done it. That's the reason, I try to keep it away as much as possible, to keep from seeing it. I don't--I don't want to have that feeling. I want to believe that there's... that love me anyhow. See? And you don't want to have it, and you don't realize what you have to battle against, knowing... And then, what someone says, and what someone means in their heart sometimes, is two different things. And you hate to know that, because I love people, and I want to love them with a true love, not knowing what they even think. But that don't make any difference, but I--I want to love anyhow. And then, but the more simpler we can get, the better off we'll be.
