<TITLE>16. Par 46-49</TITLE>L-46 Our heavenly Father, we thank Thee for Thy Word; Thy Word is true. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was manifested before us in flesh. In the book of Hebrews it said, "The Word of God (Christ, of course) is more powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the sunder of the bone and the marrow, and even a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the mind." O God, be merciful to us. Grant it, Father.
Make Yourself known tonight in human flesh by performing the same things that You did back there, that they might know, and when we stand in the judgment bar there'll be no excuse. Father, take Your eye salve of the Spirit tonight and open the people's eyes, that they might see that it is You, that it's Your Spirit. You're not dead. You're alive forevermore. May many of the people, even at the--like the woman touched His garment, may they be graciously healed, for we ask it in His Name. Amen.
I love Him, I love Him
Because He first loved me
And purchased my... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
Calvary's tree.
Now, real sweetly. You love Him, really love Him? Makes you love everybody, don't it? All right now while we sing again softly and sweetly to Him, let's everyone shake hands with just somebody quietly right by us.
I love Him, I love Him
Because He first loved me
And purchased my salvation
On Calvary's tree.

L-47 Now, let's just worship with our heads bowed, quietly... Hum it now. [Brother Branham starts humming--Ed.]
Just think how good He is to you. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] O God. [Brother Branham continues humming--Ed.] Just think in your heart now. Lay your hand over on Calvary. "Oh dying Lamb, thy precious Blood shall never lose it's power." [Someone speaks to Brother Branham--Ed.] What...?... What? Oh, maybe--maybe I can...?... Why do you love Him? Just think, why do you?
Because He first loved me
And purchased my salvation
On Calvary's tree.

L-48 Father, we thank You now for this sweet fellowship. Oh, how we love it, Lord. Just bathe at the fountain, bathing ourself in the beauty of His righteousness, and holiness, and His power. Our sins are all gone. The Blood of Jesus Christ God's Son cleanses us from that. We're fixing to come into the throne now, Lord, to ask favors.
You've got a group of sick children here, Father. They've come tonight because they believe in You. And I've come to bring the message to them. O God, some of these people in here will die right away if You don't help them. Our beloved physicians of the earth here has give some of them up, no doubt. Some of them are crippled, and blind, and something that the medics don't know what to do about. Father, You're the Creator.

L-49 David, one time, as we quoted, he was caring for his father's sheep. God, let me just take his place tonight, caring for Father's sheep. One day a lion, an enemy come in, grabbed one of the sheep, and run out, a lamb. And he didn't have nothing but this little slingshot. But he went after the lion; he trusted You. He slew the lion, brought the lamb back.
Father, there's many of them here tonight sick and afflicted that medical science is stumped; they don't know what to do. They've come here tonight; they're Your sheep. I'm taking this little slingshot of prayer, and I'm coming after them, Lord. Give us power of faith to kill that lion, that devil, that cancer, that devil that's crippled them, or whatever it is, that we might restore them back to the sheepfold for You, for our Father don't want to lose His sheep.
Forgive our unbelief, Lord, and set our souls aflame with Thy Spirit. We realize that healing has already been purchased for us, for "He was wounded for our transgressions; and with His stripes we were (a past tense) healed."
