<TITLE>26. Par 79-81</TITLE>L-79 Now, if this woman here had walked up in the Presence of the Lord Jesus Christ tonight. Let's say she is sick, and she walked up in the Presence of the Lord Jesus, and she... She is in the Presence of the Lord Jesus, not you, not me, but the Spirit that's here. See? He's the Vine; we're the branches. Is that right? How many know the vine doesn't bear fruit? The branches bears the fruit as it's energized by the vine. Is that right? Now, watch close and listen. Now, if she stood here in the Presence of the Lord Jesus...

L-80 Something happened by that boy there then. I tell you what I want you to do. I want you to take a string and tie it around that water head (See?) tonight. And tie a knot in it. And when on the last night of the meeting, day after tomorrow night you... Tomorrow night you tie another knot, the next night another knot. And bring me that string and lay it up here on this here prove that God's on that boy. And you see how much that head shrinks between now and then. That's that you might know.
Now, the reason I done that is to help her faith. See? You got to have something for your faith. See? If you won't to doubt, it'll take place. Now, you watch, I want you to tie your string, make a little knot in it. Then put on the same string, tomorrow night, after the service, tie another little knot, how much it shrinks, then on the last night tie your knot and...?... the church, then lay it up here on the platform, cut it off and show me how much it shrank between now and then. See?

L-81 Now, you see, friends... You say, "What are you doing, Brother Branham?" I'm trying to get myself back to a place just a little bit (See?), so I can talk to you just a moment. I look out there and just see, like you all are one big milky group now. See? But I'm trying to let you see that your brother, I your brother, has not one thing in earth to do with this. It's God confirming His Word, His promise, that He said He would do. Now, don't be afraid of it. If I could hear His voice speak tonight He'd say this, "Be of a good cheer; it is I; be not afraid." For He's the same yesterday, that's what He did yesterday, is today, will be forever. You believe that?
Now, see, so that you'll know that it ain't prayer cards or something somebody or--in the ministerial breakfast, and for three nights now, three services we haven't had a prayer card. And has He done in other services without prayer cards, just like He done tonight with prayer cards. Prayer cards only line them up, so we won't have a fight over one another's place. See? Too many in one place...
