<TITLE>03. Par 5-7</TITLE>L-5 See, now, say for instance, that piano will make a sound. How do I know? How do I know it'll make a sound? Well, I believe it will. That's my faith. Now, what would you do to make a sound on that piano? My finger would have to touch it. All right. Now, first thing, my head, my mind, has to think of it, my heart has to tell me whether it will or not. That's by faith. Now, say, my finger, it's a great thing. My eye, that's the prophetic sight, the seeing. Well, now, if I just sat and looked at that piano, say, "Well, it'll play," well that--that doesn't--that doesn't make it. Now, see, I've got to make... My feet's got to work. Now, what if my feet say, "Well, I'm not the eye, so I'm just not going to do anything about it." Well, my--my feet says, "I'll take you over there." All right, here we go. See? My feet's taking me over. Now, now, I'm here, I'm over here. Well, my eye's still looking, but it--it--it can't touch the keys. Feet says, "Well, I don't touch the key, but it takes the finger. See? And see, if the--if the nose say, "I'll do it," that won't help. The eye say, "I'll try to hit it," won't help. See? It's got to have my finger. So with everything working together [Brother Branham plays a note on the piano--Ed.], I have it. See? That's it.

L-6 Now, what is faith? How many senses are there to the human body? Five: see, taste, feel, smell, hear. Is that right? Well now, faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things you do not see, taste, feel, smell, hear. Is that right? It's the sixth sense. If I had another week I'd preach on some of those thing, the sixth sense--or in a healing service, rather. Now, it's just... I could...
Come here, Brother Borders. Now, let me show you. Have you ever heard people say, "Seeing is believing." How many ever heard it? Oh, you've heard it, "I'm Missouri. You know, you got to show me." And now, there's a man standing before me. He's got brown hair, wearing kind of a brown looking suit, brown tie with a white shirt on. How many believes that? See? Well, now I've got one sense that declares him there. That's my sight. Now, step back just a little bit. All right. Now, it's impossible for my sense of sight to say he's there, but I know he's there now just as well I know I'm looking at him. Why? I can't see him. You want to argue with me he's not there?

L-7 Now, you say, "You might have got Brother Buntane up." Oh, no, no, no, no. It ain't Brother Buntane, it's Brother Roy--Brother Roy Borders.
"How do you know it is? You just got a hold of a man's hand." You haven't switched men on me. He's got a real wide wedding band on (See?), and I know that's him. See? So I--I know that's... Now, I cannot see him, but yet I know he's there just as well as if I was looking at him. So seeing isn't believing, is it? No, no, huh-uh, not this time. Certainly not, because feeling is believing. Is that right?
Well, now. See now, what is... Thank you. What is faith? Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the direct evidence of things you do not see, taste, feel, smell, or hear. See? That's it. You say, "That shirt's white."
Well, what if I'd tell you, "That shirt's red."
You'd say, "Wait a minute, Brother Branham, that shirt's white."
Well, I'd say, "No, it's red." Well, now, the only way it could be... Could it be possible it could be red? Yes. If you was color blind it might be red. See? So seeing wouldn't be believing yet. See?
