<TITLE>11. Par 34-36</TITLE>L-34 Now, we find out after this dispensation, then it lasted on, that legalistic dispensation, until the real royal Seed come. Then He taken all the legalism upon Himself, and paid the price of redemption, and God's Church is back in grace again. Not under the law and legalism, it's under grace and the promise of God, the true Seed of Abraham. He taken the law upon Himself and the law nailed Him to the cross--of what we must do, and must not do, and must do, and must not do.
You know the thing of it today, when a sinner comes to the Lord, we don't treat them like Paul did when the Philippian jailer said, "What must I do to be saved?"
Now, what would we say today? "You got to quit smoking; you got to quit drinking; you got to quit doing this."
That wasn't what he asked. He said, "What must I do to be saved?"
And Paul told him, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ."
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, not, "Come, join our congregation, and stand up before the church, and say this, and we'll sprinkle you, immerse you, or whatever you want to do, our way. And if you're not in our church, then..." That wasn't it.
He said, "Just believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou and thy house shall be saved."
If you can believe for yourself, you can believe for your house also. Have enough faith in God to believe for yourself, then believe for your children also. That same faith will save your children that saved you. If you just keep praying. God will answer prayer, don't worry. Just ask Him, and believe it, and get it anchored in your heart, and just keep moving on. That's the way it's done. Yes, sir.

L-35 Now, we find that Abraham was just and ordinary man. And God called him, and said that through him He was going to make him a father of nations. "No matter what you do, Abraham... You don't have to do one thing; I have done it." Oh, I like that. Oh, I love that so well, that I... It just thrills my heart to think it's nothing I could do. If there was anything I could do, I'd never got it; but it's what He done for me. Not what I am, what He is. It ain't what my promise is; it's what His promise is.
That's the way... The people today, they have to have... Now, many of the brethren laying hands on the sick. That's all right but that's a Jewish tradition. That was never meant for the Gentiles. The Jew said, "Come, lay your hand on my daughter and she'll be well."
But the Gentile said, "Just speak the word; my servant will live." That's the difference. Just say the word.
Jesus turned around to the Jew, said, "I don't find faith like that in Israel."

L-36 See, in the meetings, every one that comes into the meetings are supposed to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. And if Jesus has already healed you... He was wounded for your transgressions; with His stripes you were healed. Already past tense, it's already finished. You just... Faith cometh by hearing, hearing of the Word.
You say, "What about them discernments and things that you was doing, Brother Branham?" That's a confirmation. That proves that He keeps His Word. He promised that He would do those things. Here He is doing it. If He keeps one Word, He keeps all of His Word. If He don't keep one word, He don't keep any of it. He keeps all of His Word.
He cannot heal you. If He was walking right here now right in this building, He couldn't heal you. If you could see Him visibly, as you'd see me or the pastor, or someone else, He couldn't heal you. He's already done it. But He might show you some reason, to prove that He was your Lord, 'cause He'd do something like He did back there to prove that He was your Lord.
