<TITLE>21. Par 152-157</TITLE>L-152 Now, see if the Holy Spirit stands closely. Just to speak with you, I'm trying... You say, "What are you doing, Brother Branham?" The same thing Jesus done with the woman, said, "Bring Me a drink," He was just trying to talk to her a minute, find out what her trouble was.
Your trouble is nervousness; that's what you're suffering with. If that's right, raise up your hand. Now, she sure doesn't look it, does she, brethren? She doesn't, but that's what her trouble is. She's been that way a long time. Always crossing your bridges 'fore you get to them, and so forth. That's true. It's your make up, just made that way, nervous; always imagining something's fixing to happen, it doesn't. Sometimes the devil tells you, "There's nothing to It; just you're backslid; you've across the line." I'm not reading your mind, but I'm reading what's... I'm knowing what he's talked to you about, 'cause I see what's crossed your mind.

L-154 Now, Jesus perceived their thoughts. Is that right? Well, that's what's happened right now. Is that right? Here, let me tell you something, that you might know. You're really standing here for somebody else. That's right. That's the thing, and you couldn't catch it till then. Now, if the Lord will reveal to me what you're standing here for, for somebody else, will you believe me to be His prophet? It's for your mother. You believe God can tell me what her trouble is? Well, she has heart trouble, high blood pressure, gall stones, complications. That's right. Isn't it? See? Now, that's the Holy Spirit. Isn't it?
Now, there's something here on me and on these brethren. See? Something here now, the Holy Spirit. Now, you believe me, as we pass through the line.

L-156 Let us all bow our heads while we pray for these people. Now, heavenly Father, we're going to lay hands on these people. And I'm praying for them now. Here's Your royal servants standing here, and we're all going to lay hands on the sick, because You said do it. We're going to do it in the Name of Jesus Christ. May the people not just drag through, but may they come through being healed through Jesus Christ's Name. Amen!

L-157 The Lord bless you. Now, walk right up closely. In the Name of the Lord Jesus, heal.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus, heal my brother.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus, heal my sister.
Now, just--just a minute. See? Brother, sisters, why is it you rejoice when that woman, when the discernment happened, and when the others come through there's nothing done? People pass through, "Well, if I'm not--have discernment, well, then I didn't get nothing." That don't have nothing to do with it; He's here just the same. See?
When you pass through here, come with your hands up, saying, "Thank You, Lord Jesus. I accept You as my Healer, and I'm just going like I would to one of these men's going to baptize me; I'm going right into the pool of water and be baptized, and come out and know that You've promised that I'd receive the Holy Ghost."
See, it... The discernment's still here. It's still here, It's just the same as... Here, which is it? This man here? I'm a stranger to you. Am I, sir? I don't know you. Can... If God will tell me what's your trouble, will you believe me to be His prophet, His servant? You will with all your heart? All right, sir. All... Thank you, sir. That's a very good spirit, very fine thing. After all, you're standing here for somebody else. That's right. "It's your grandchild, got the polio, fell the other day and broke its leg," that's THUS SAITH THE LORD. Is that right? That's right. Go and believe now, and he'll get well.
